Today’s Bible reading – 2 Chronicles 11:1-13:22 Romans 8:26-39 Psalm 18:37-50 Proverbs 19:27-29

Miss Cookie Rainey is not doing well.  They did take her off the vent yesterday but last word we heard last night is that they “thought” they were going to have to put her back on it.  Her situation is critical.  Pray for her, the medical folks, Pastor Terry and Shannon.

Heard from Bro. Chris via iMessage last night.  There were two or three students from our church who prayed to receive Jesus as their personal Savior last night as well as other decisions.   Praise the Lord.  Let’s pray that this is the beginning of a mighty move of God in our midst.  Our students will be returning home today so pray for them as they travel.

The service with the men from the Mission of Hope takes place tonight in our church auditorium beginning at 7:00PM.  Everyone is invited.  It would be good if you could bring a dish of food to help feed the men after the service.  You can simply bring it when you come to the service.  Randall, Rita & Lynda will be leading the worship through song.  Pray for this service and attend if you can.

The deep well pump in the mission house in Guatemala has gone out which means the team that is presently there does not have any water.  Pray that the technicians can pull the pump today, find the problem, and get it repaired quickly.

Speaking of repairs, we had one of the big ac units go out in the CAB.  The process of replacing it was started yesterday and should be completed today.  I am not sure why it went out as it was basically a new unit having been installed in 1982 – they just do not make them like they used to!  Thank God for air conditioning and for the ability to replace one when it goes bad.  God is good!

We are on a regular schedule this Sunday morning and evening.  We will have the meeting at 4:00PM to discuss the budget but in reality is should just be a time of praise and thanksgiving to God for His goodness to the Friendship family.  Folks, we are so blessed!

Major grass cutting day today.  I enjoy yard work but the weather has been hot enough recently that it can take a little of the joy out of it.  However, I am grateful to be able to get out and do yard work.  I could be like Rusty and not be able to get out because of a recent surgery – wait, Rusty did not get out and do yard work before his surgery.  Scratch that example!

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