“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 116-118; 1 Corinthians 7:1-19

The roller coaster ride continues for Robert Baria as he is now somewhat better in that he is much more alert and is communicating by mouthing words.  I am joining Roseanne in praying for a complete healing.

Tina Wilkinson got rid of the infection but now has pneumonia.  She is frustrated.  Folks, tried to tell you that the girl is complicated!

Linda Johnson should be discharged from the hospital today.

Amy Huhn’s father, Bobby Morrison, has been in the hospital since last Saturday.  Probably has a few more days before he will be discharged.

Mary Jackson’s grandson, Charles Faucett, had emergency surgery yesterday.  I am thinking he will be discharged today.

Vera Bosarge had a procedure done earlier this week.  It is something new.  I do not know all of the details but it involves being kicked by a mule or something like that.

Pastor David Jones has been in a rehab facility for  a number of days.  Jeff H said last night that he continues to need our prayers.

Greg Boutwell continues to be at home and in need of our prayers.

Bryan Creps is recovering in Birmingham.  The doctors are concerned about blood flow but were more hopeful last night.  Keep praying.

Mission of Hope service tomorrow night beginning at 7:00PM.  Bus leaves the church at 6:15PM.  Everyone invited.

Acton Bowen is coming to Friendship the weekend of September 15 – 17.  Pray for these services.

Work day this Saturday, 8/26, beginning at 7:00AM.  Biscuits and drinks will be available.  Helpers needed.

The high school football season begins tonight.  My hope is to catch some of the Mobile Christian game tonight and the Theodore game tomorrow night.  They both are playing regular season games while Bryant and Faith are playing a jamboree.

Deidra’s blog entry was late yesterday and I have to go full disclosure – she was waiting on me to provide some information before posting it.  (Just wanted to make her look not as efficient as me)

Our folks in Guatemala get a much needed break this week after hosting teams for the past fifteen consecutive weeks.  After this off week, they will host teams for six consecutive weeks, have a week off and then finish the year with six more consecutive weeks of hosting teams.  Wow, God is good!  And 2018 is shaping up to be an even busier year for GRACE Ministries.  Amazing!

Bobby and the boys took it on the chin last night.

Nine days.  Almost here!

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