Today’s Bible reading: Genesis 41-42

The Friendship family is to be commended for ministry to the Gerald Brannan family yesterday following the service.  You did well!  You also ministered to the Whitehurst family.  So, you fed/helped feed over one hundred folks yesterday.  Thank you!

My day was full with one funeral and one funeral visitation yesterday so I did not get to visit the convalescent home.  That is on my list today.

Miss Rebecca Perkins is in the hospital.

Morris Bryant commented on yesterday’s entry.  Not sure if folks ever read the comments so I have decided to print it here:

“Saw the note on Soy striking you as a ref this past Saturday – I think he plans to do the same to me after Saturday. I did want to share that on Saturday, I caught a glimpse of what Upward is intended to be.

After one of the games, I was sitting near the score table and a family (Mom, Dad, and 3-4 children) walked over. The Dad began to share with Soy their thanks for his prayers for their daughter, who had a pretty serious injury and had been in the hospital. This little girl’s brother plays on Soy and Gena’s team. She was better to the point that she was with them at the game – but very tired. You could tell these folks were genuinely grateful for the prayers and thoughtfulness Soy had shown toward them. It was worth being there and calling those games just to witness that, and be reminded what it’s about.

I wanted to briefly share my thanks to Soy and all those that are working in Upward. The Coaches have a great opportunity to impact not only the players, but their families as well.

So I say to Soy, for this week “you get the White Star”. But you still don’t know anything about basketball.”

I agree with Morris’ last statement.  Soy literally cannot “call a hog!”

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