“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10
This entry is way late and for that I apologize. My sincerest apologies to Dr. Rex. I am sitting in a surgery waiting room as Sarah Thornton is in surgery as I type this at 9:00AM. Pray for Sarah as they remove one of her kidneys and a tumor. The doctor told the family that he fully expects this procedure to take care of the tumor with nothing else being necessary. Sarah will be in the hospital for at least a day or two.
Visited with Edwina Perkins this morning and she is in a regular room and is doing well. She “thinks” she may go home Sunday or Monday if all goes as planned. Pray for Edwina. Her sister from Texas will be either Sunday or Monday and that makes Edwina happy.
Not sure if Courtney Hubbard was discharged from the hospital yesterday. I communicated with her via iMessage and she was in good spirits. Keep praying for Courtney and her family.
Had a couple of folks order some of Tony’s coffee yesterday. I do need to know if you want beans or for it to be grounded. Also, need to hear from anyone else wanting to order a twelve ounce bag of coffee for twelve dollars. Please send me an e-mail by noon today. You can check out his coffee at vanburencoffee.com. Tony is scheduled to arrive in Mobile tonight.
Well, I survived the trip to Huntsville yesterday/last night. Was able to spend about five hours with Mama. Also got to see Sue, Jamie, Grayson, Jace & S.
Lisa and I attended the Beasley Boys Christmas concert last night on the campus of UAH. Actually, they were simply the opening act for Rex Looney as he dominated the show. Here is the proof – after the concert there were numerous “Beasley Boys” t-shirts for sale. However, by the time I got to the merchandise table there were zero Rex Looney t-shirts for sale. True story.
Gina and I dropped Lisa off in Birmingham and kept driving. Gina is a carbon copy of her mother as she slept all the way home! Provided no help at all! From 9:30PM until 3:30AM I was flying solo! I am thankful to God for His traveling mercies.
Regular schedule this Sunday morning. Adult choir musical Sunday night beginning at 6:00PM. Hope many members of the Friendship family will be in attendance.
One more thing – one of our young ladies asked me for specifics for our annual Christmas Eve service this year. I told her it was at 5:00PM as always. Her reply – “well I did not know since Christmas Eve is on Christmas Eve this year!” True story! Who? Will not say! She knows!
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
