“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

I have been “silent” as far as the blog is concerned for eight consecutive days.  You may be thinking, “what can be so difficult about writing a blog entry?”  Well, you want to take it and run with it?  Just let me know.

Actually, I have just been mimicking our daughter, Deidra, and her blogging skills.  She blogs once a month whether she needs to or not!  She has a wealth of subjects to choose from i.e. one hundred and forty three students, a dozen teachers, workers everywhere, et cetera and yet she remains silent.  Oh well!

The major question that came from my messages this past Sunday was “has Soy bought Deidra any flowers this week?”  Are you serious?  Soy does not have a clue!  From what I am hearing there are guys around here who are basically clueless too!  Yes, I am talking about you!

We welcome Dylan Westbrook to our staff as our Bus Director/Children’s Pastor.  This is a part time position.  Dylan has been doing a great job as interim.  I am very blessed to have him on our staff.  The best thing about Dylan is his sweet wife, Elizabeth!  Their children are awesome too!

Regular schedule this morning and evening.

I am hearing that a couple of you are having problems with the live stream.  Let me suggest that you go right now and send an e-mail to Deidra (dtaylor0811@gmail.com) or Soy (soytaylor0818@gmail.com).  In your e-mail put your phone number and one of them will contact you and help solve any issues you are having.

The AWANA banquet takes place this Sunday night and I can only hope those in charge will have enough sense to move it inside the CAB – hello!  Can you say air conditioning?  Can you say better sound system?  Can you say better video monitors?  Can you say lights?  Let me guess – women are in charge of this thing!  (I am so LOL!)  Actually, I am just saying what guys like TJ Vice are thinking but will not say!  I have not been told any different so I plan to preach at 6:00PM “inside” the auditorium with the air conditioners turned wide open.  Remember, “we are family!”  Bayou La Batre Reeboks to be had?  Just saying!

After this past Sunday night’s service, one of the families within the Friendship family contacted Lisa and made one of the most generous offers I have ever known about.  Talk about being kind and willing to sacrifice – wow!  I stand amazed!  (No one has ever offered to give us an all expenses paid trip to the Holy Land!  They still have not but I just thought I would throw that out there!  LOL!). I am very serious when I say this family blessed me way beyond measure.  Who are they?  What did they offer?  Yes!

I reconnected with Heather Breedlove this past Monday night as I was leaving Tracy Prater’s house.  You talk about a breath of fresh air and a Holy Spirit encounter.  The girl blessed me!  What a sweet spirit.  Heather is the daughter of Pastor Jack & Miss Peggy Freeman.  They both have gone to be with the Lord now.  Bro. Jack was my pastor from the time I was like seven years old until I was eleven years old.  He helped lead my dad to Jesus.  He was a great pastor and preacher.  Bro. Jack was the second pastor I had to come preach at Friendship after I became the pastor.  Why do I think so highly of Bro. Jack?  Well, Bro. Johnny Tucker followed him at Shady Grove.  Need I say more?

Speaking of Tracy, she definitely needs our fervent prayer support.  She is a very, very strong young lady.  Can I just say that I hate cancer!  Some of the absolute best folks in my life have been taken from us by this dreaded disease!  Pray!

Soccer is going full steam ahead.  Basketball sign ups are taking place now.  Eddie Albritton and Amy Reynolds are the point persons for basketball so contact either of them for more details.

Trying to put together a team to go celebrate Christmas with the students of Colegio JET.  Looking at the dates of December 1 – 8. Interested? Contact me immediately if not sooner!  Pass the word.

This entry has been too long!  My apologies.  I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
