“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Let me begin by saying “welcome back” to Jeff Holifield, TJ Vice and Raymond Wilkinson.  These men were elected as deacons by the members of the Friendship family last night.  They will serve for a three year period beginning August 1.  Obviously, all three of these men have served as deacons previously.  Good, godly men!

Kendall Falana and Andy Hamil were the other two nominees for deacon.  These two are good, godly men as well and the Friendship family would have done well to have elected them as deacons.  We were in a win/win situation with the five nominees. I am very confident that Kendall & Andy will just keep on serving God through the Friendship family just as they have been doing.

The Friendship family also voted last night to allow GRACE Ministries to apply for 501 (c) 3 status with the Internal Revenue Service.  I appreciate our Missions Committee for their leadership in this area.  I believe this is going to open many doors in the future for the continued expansion of GRACE Ministries.

Miss Willie Roberts will have a heart cath today.  Pray that all goes well.

Joey Switzer’s father will have surgery today.  This procedure was tried a couple of months ago but they had to resolve some other issues first.  Pray they can do what they need to do this time.

Beth Bradley’s mother will have a surgical procedure on her heart today.  It is a complicate procedure but it will be done as an outpatient.  Pray that this will be the answer for Beth’s mom.

Terry Lucky remains hospitalized.  I will be checking on him today.  Keep praying for Terry & Miss Carol.

Linda Green and two of her daughters, Tina & Tori, traveled to Jackson, TN yesterday where they will attend the celebration of life service for one of David’s sisters-in-law.  Pray for that family.

There was a memorial service for Miss Lillian Brinkman’s sister yesterday afternoon.  I pray that all went well.

I learned from Edna Pearl yesterday that Miss Annie Rogers is not doing well physically.  Pray for her.  Miss Annie is an amazing woman.  She is one hundred and four years old.  Yes, I wrote 104 years old!

The all star break in the MLB sees Bobby & the boys five and a half games out of first place in the NL East.  Leslie Hacker’s Braves are one half game behind the Phillies.  Pastor Wes Bates’ beloved Cubs hold a two and one half game lead in the NL Central.  The Dodgers are one half game ahead of the Diamondbacks in the NL West.

I drove home from Hartselle on Friday night.  Lisa, Dana & Jayden stayed until yesterday.  My sweet mother-in-law, Ann Clark, made sure that I had lunch yesterday.  She is definitely a sweetheart and I appreciate her looking out for me.  I am blessed to have her as my mother-in-law.

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
