Kenny Lingle had cataract surgery yesterday which I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry.  He apparently did well as he was in last night’s service.  I did not get an opportunity to speak to him personally but his mere presence indicated that he did well.

Mark Vice is scheduled for surgery on his hand today.  Bro. Chris is going to be with Mark and his family during this procedure.

Brenda Timberlake has decided to postpone her surgery that was scheduled for today.

Glory to God!  Last night’s service was great!  Again, the music was awesome, the Spirit was excellent, the preaching “spot on” and the attendance was our best of the week.  I simply say “thank you” to the Friendship family as you prayed faithfully, attended the services in great numbers, brought family and friends with you, and gave in a wonderful way to support Bro. Jack’s ministry.

I ask for one more favor (meant to do this last night but totally forgot) – would you take a few moments and send a “thank you” e-mail to the members of the Danville Baptist Church family for sharing their pastor and wife with us for these past few days?  You can address it to the entire church family but please send it to one of their deacons, Jason Bowling, at jasonbowling@me.com.   Do it today, tomorrow, or Saturday and Jason can share it with the entire church family this Sunday, 8/11.  Would you copy me on those e-mails as I have a prayer for a certain number?  Thanks!

Did we have revival?  I think so.  I did!  If attendance and offering are indicators then the collective answer is “yes” as well.  Time will tell and this Sunday will be a huge indicator.  I plan on baptizing Shelby as a part of this Sunday’s evening service.

If you loaned tools to the Danville Baptist student group and have not received them back, please send me an e-mail detailing what you are missing.

Lisa and I fly out his morning headed to Zeeland, Michigan via Detroit.  I will be officiating (most couples I know need an “official” after they get married not the day of their marriage!)  a wedding tomorrow night.  Lord willing, we will arrive home late Saturday afternoon.  I got this gig through our ministry in Guatemala.  Pray for Tim Vander Toorn and Megan Vander Hulst as they become one tomorrow night.

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