SATURDAY, 12/16/17
“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
First, will you pray that my cousin, Tony Gettig, can get out of Kalamazoo and into Mobile today? He got “snowed in” before ever leaving last night and is presently on his way with a very tight connecting flight in Houston. If all goes as scheduled, he will arrive in Mobile at 1:13PM. If he does not arrive as scheduled, what is Jeanette going to do? (She should have thought of all of this!)
Sarah Thornton’s surgery was deemed successful by her doctor. He was confident he was able to remove all of the mass. He thinks it is malignant but also feels confident it was contained in that one area. Pray that he is correct. Sarah will be in the hospital for a day or two.
Edwina Perkins looked and sounded well yesterday morning. She hopes to be discharged either tomorrow or Monday.
Bobby Broome and Ann Clark had a sister, Beatrice, pass from this life yesterday morning. She was ninety six years old. Arrangements pending. Pray for the family.
Gena Davis put a comment on yesterday’s entry. She continues to have some health issues and they will soon be moving to North Georgia. Moving out of Texas will help anyone! Pray for Gene & Gena. They hope to be in the Mobile area for a few days in early January. It will be good to see Gena! (Sommer, get out of Texas while you can!)
Basketball today beginning at 8:00AM. No basketball for the next two Saturdays.
Bus visitation today beginning with the workers’ meeting at 8:30AM. Pray for this ministry.
Adult choir rehearsal tonight beginning at 6:00PM. Did I mention my cousin Tony’s traveling situation?
Handful of college football games today. Troy plays. Really surprised that their coach, Neal Brown, did not get hired by a bigger program as he has done a really nice job at Troy. If Brown leaves Troy, look for Coach Collier to receive consideration for the Troy job. (They cannot pay him what he will demand!).
Our house has been empty for the past two days as everyone is riding a train in their pajamas in Calera, Alabama. Folks, riding a train in your pajamas is just weird! My point is that the heat in this house has been off which is great! (Deidra has been about to burn me up this past week!) It is a balmy sixty three degrees in here this morning – so nice! (By the way, when Deidra is paying the bill she is stingy with the thermostat but when dad is paying she does not care!)
The Beasley boys had another concert last night. My sources, which are impeccable, tell me that Dr. Rex stole the show again. Well, at least the Beasley boys can dream.
Regular schedule for the Friendship family tomorrow morning. Adult choir musical at 6:00PM.
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
