“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
Two funeral services today. At noon there will be a service for Mrs. Virginia DeVaney. She is also the grandmother of Kendall & Lee Falana’s grandchildren who are an active part of the Friendship family. Service will take place at Serenity Funeral Home.
At 2:00PM today there will be a service for Mrs. Margaret Pitts. She was an active member of Cloverdale Baptist and a long time resident of Grand Bay. That service will also take place at Serenity. Pray for these two families.
Bernard’s good friend, Willard Garnett, called yesterday to tell me that he will soon be having knee surgery. (I thought he was calling to offer me a new zero turn mower but. . . )
Marcus Albritton & Eddie Hatcher will hold the final night of basketball sign up and evaluations tomorrow night, 11/8, from 5:30 – 8:00PM in the CAB. They tell me that a good number of the Friendship family have told them their children are playing but they have not officially signed up or come for the evaluation. Without those two things then a child cannot participate in the leagues. So, please pass the word to anyone interested.
If you are cooking a turkey for the senior adult Thanksgiving meal then please see Cecil Guidry (and only Cecil Guidry) this Sunday, 11/11, to get your bird. You can get your instructions i.e. when to bring it back, sliced or not, et cetera from her at that time.
Looking forward to having Pastor Wes Bates with us this Sunday, 11/11, in our two morning worship services. I am asking all members of the Friendship family to be in attendance unless providentially hindered. Pray for Pastor Wes as he prepares to preach to us.
I am considering something special in our evening service this Sunday. Will let you know if it comes to fruition.
The folks taking part in our December 1 – 8 mission trip to Guatemala need to attend a meeting this Sunday evening, 11/11, immediately following the service. Meeting will take place in the auditorium. Important.
Heard from Louise Mason from Arkansas last night. Did not realize that Monday was her birthday. She is doing well and misses Guatemala. I miss seeing her there.
I am writing this entry way early but every indication is that the House will now be controlled by the Democrats and the Senate by the Republicans. All I can say is “thank God this round of elections is over!” Well, there is a runoff in Mississippi on 11/27 but I do not think I will be exposed to that much at all as I tend to stay out of Mississippi!
The past couple of days have not been so good to me mechanically. First, the gearbox on my mower was destroyed by some incompetent person! When Logan Wainwright took it apart and said “catastrophic” then I just sort of figured that was not good! You do not even want to know what that is going to set me back financially!
Second, my car began to miss yesterday morning and a warning light came on. Logan diagnosed that problem too and it was a bad coil. So, Marisa has ordered me a replacement coil and Logan will install it. Thanks Marisa.
Logan Wainwright is a very smart young man when it comes to mechanical things. I highly recommend Logan as your go to person for small engine repairs and minor vehicle repairs. He is also such a nice young man.
This entry has been too long. Sorry about that. I hope you have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
