“After these things I looked, and behold,

a great multitude which no one could number,

of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues,

standing before the throne and before the Lamb,

clothed with white robes,

with palm branches in their hands.”

Wednesday

“Risk your life and get more than you ever dreamed of.”

~Luke 19:26 MSG~

 

Humility doesn’t mean that you think less of yourself,

but that you think of yourself less.

~~~Max Lucado~~~

I haven’t heard any reports from See You at the Pole this morning, but I hope our young people turned out and set a good example for others.

There are 41 more days until the election.  If you have not already joined 40 Days of Prayer for America, I hope you will do so today.

There will be an area wide (larger than just our association) training for Sunday School Teachers Monday night at FBC, Kentwood from 6:00-8:30.  I understand there are only four in the state.  This replaces the meetings such as Blitz on the Bayou.

Wendell Miller surgery for a pacemaker went well this week.  Keep him in your prayers as he recovers and adjusts to this device.

Andy Taylor learned Monday the doctor will try two more things before surgery.  The coming six weeks he will wear a larger brace and have a gel to rum on to ease the pain.  Let’s pray this option works.

Kim (Newell Landry) goes in at 9 AM in the morning to be treated with the radioactive iodine! Please pray she will have no bad side effects and will be healed of this cancer!!! Thanks friends for all your prayers! Love to all of you!!  (From her mother Rosa M. Turner)
