Pastor's Blog

As pastor, I am very proud of our deacons, staff, and their wives for the role they played in hosting the fellowship for new members last night.  I enjoyed myself and felt it was a beneficial time for all of us.  I also appreciate our church hostess, Marisa Felps, for being there to help coordinate everything.  We bless the Lord for giving us a good night together!

My older brother, Eddie, and my dad showed up for a surprise visit yesterday afternoon.  They spent the night and will leave this morning heading back to Rocky Ford, AL.  It was great to see them even though the visit was brief.  (Yes, they came to borrow money but at least they came!)

Peggy Benefield is scheduled to have a heart cath at 11:30AM today.  Peggy Knighten has been in tremendous pain since they placed a stent yesterday.  Miss Ellen Rhoads is much improved.  Merwyn Gunter was asleep when I visited with him yesterday morning.  Gage Hudson sees the doctor again today but is no better physically.  Pray for these folks.

We are on a regular schedule today with worship at 10:00AM and the evening activities beginning at 7:00PM.  Actually, childrens’ choir begins at 6:00PM.  We will continue to chase the Goose at 8:00PM.  I pray that many members of the Friendship family will join us these services/Bible studies.

I will not be outdone by Joe David Bailey.  I have my computer guru (Chinese Chris Taylor) working on allowing those interested being able to receive these blog entries via e-mail.  Simply, each time I post a new blog it will automatically go to your e-mail.  JD has three “followers” so my goal is five!

I suspect AU & UA will no longer be in the same division beginning next season.  I think another group of Tigers may be joining the SEC real soon.  They had their chance to remain in the B12 yesterday and they did not say they would.  This will probably mean the end of the AU/UA game being played at the end of the season.  Interesting stuff!

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