“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Well, there was no blog entry yesterday morning. Duh, you say. What happened? I simply thought I had posted one and did not know until Deidra (the one who blogs like once every two weeks) sent me a message asking why I did not blog. Folks, it is tough getting old! However, I did test positive for the virus on 11/30. Just keep that in mind!
Tina Sprinkle’s father is now at home. That is good news for him and the family. Tina is very grateful for the prayers. I would encourage you to keep praying.
Donnie Felps continues to struggle in his recovery from surgery. Marisa has her hands full in trying to nurse him back to being well. Folks, Donnie needs our fervent prayer support.
Jeff Holifield continues to be at home but is not jumping any fences. Keep praying for Jeff. (Jeff “thinks” he is about to get out and about but I talked to his mama and she said, “not happening!” As she was speaking, she was sharpening a razor strap!)
Larry Crawley continues to battle a malignancy. Keep praying. His wife, Lee, had hip replacement surgery and is recovering at home.
This may be the most important part of this blog. Lord willing, I am going to drive to Lucedale, MS on Thursday and take Jason to lunch. If you want to send him a Christmas gift, card, money, whatever then get it to me by tomorrow night. You can drop it by Lisa’s office if that is easier on you. Obviously, you can bring it by the church office or to the service in the morning or tomorrow night. Jason misses the Friendship family.
A thumbs up to Tena Hovel, the other workers and the children for a job well done with the Christmas program Sunday night. They did a really good job especially considering the circumstances. We thank God for this ministry.
The Grand Bay Church of God hosted a live nativity scene this past weekend. Nicely done. Poor choice of wise men but we all make mistakes!
Jay Oakwood must be an effective prayer warrior. Just saying.
Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening.
Our attendance was up this past Sunday. I am grateful to our people and give God the glory. I thank those who have given financially thus far in December and encourage all of us to join together in finishing 2020 very strong in this area. You may give in person, online, through the mail, Lisa’s office, et cetera. Thank you for giving to the Lord!
Our basketball leagues begin play this Saturday, 12/19. Pray for these leagues.
Did you encourage anyone yesterday? (Asking for a friend!)
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
