FRIDAY, 3/14/14
Today’s Bible reading – Numbers 21:1-22:20, Luke 1:26-56, Psalm 57:1-11, Proverbs 11:9-11
The service last night was blessed by the Lord! Dr. Ted Traylor did a great job of preaching the Word! He was very complimentary of the Friendship family for the ease you give to a preacher to simply preach the Word! I very much appreciate Pastor Ted being willing to come to South Mobile County – a real blessing to me!
I want to say “thank you” to Bro. Kerry, the choir, Brianna Sims, Randall Broome, Jeanette Bates & Tena Hovel for the music – good stuff! Bro. Chris and Jerry Whitmore did their usual great job on the audio/video. Our staff and deacons did an excellent job of greeting folks, serving as ushers, et cetera. A good number of you did great in getting family and friends to attend which was awesome! The house was packed and for that I am very grateful! Justin Joyner was a great help with the automobile traffic flow following the service. So, thanks to you and glory to God! I am now waiting to see what God does in the life of the Friendship family as a result of that service.
Pastor Ted sent me an e-mail of thanks last night. He is willing to come again at some point in 2015. Join me in praying about that matter.
The funeral service for Lance Curl takes place this morning at 10:00AM from the chapel at Serenity Funeral Home. Pray for that service and for the Curl family.
The funeral service for Bobby Perry, grandfather of Gauge Holmes, will take place tomorrow, 3/15, at 2:00PM in our auditorium. It will be preceded by an hour of visitation. We will need to minister to the Perry family by providing a meal for them following the service. I am waiting to get a number to be fed from them. We are going to need help. I have to make a contact before I can tell you who to call if you will help. Look for another entry later today.
The yard sale & auction take place today and tomorrow in the CAB.
We will have a special musical guest in our evening service this Sunday, 3/16. I will be preaching but our guest will bring sing a couple songs. Good friend and I look forward to that service. Who is it? Can you say Coach Eric Collier?
AU & UA both took the early exit from the SEC basketball tourney as I predicted. They wanted to go ahead and get started on next year or something like that. It is 4:30AM and, so far, Coach Grant still has a job. IMO, he will be Bama’s coach next year.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.

From the ACLJ news letter.
This has been a traumatic 48 hours for American Pastor Saeed Abedini.
Nearly two weeks ago he was moved from his prison cell to a local private hospital and promised medical care. Then, two days ago, Iranian guards banned visits from his family, shackled him, and ordered that he return to his prison cell untreated.
This was devastating for Pastor Saeed and his family. He needs to undergo surgery for internal injuries he sustained from prison beatings.
You immediately took to Facebook and Twitter to share what had happened. Thousands began praying in earnest for Pastor Saeed.
Just yesterday we learned that Iranian prison officials reversed course calling the whole ordeal a “mistake.”
Pastor Saeed is now unshackled, but while he remains in the hospital, he is still not receiving critical treatment. He still desperately needs surgery and to be released to his family in the U.S.
You spoke out this week and made a tremendous impact. We need you to Be Heard again.
