that the word of the Lord may run swiftly
and be glorified, just as it is with you.”

Kathy Dyer will have surgery at Ochsner’s on Monday 2/2 at @ 9:30 AM to remove the colon tumor and any cancerous tissue found. Please pray that the chemotherapy and radiation have shrunk the tumor and killed any surrounding cancer cells. The surgery will last around 4 hours and she will be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days. Please pray that God will give Kathy the strength and courage necessary to go through the surgery and recovery.
Please continue to remember her husband John and her daughters Jennifer and Kaitlin in prayer also. Kathy has appreciated the cards, prayers, e-mails, calls, and text messages of hope, encouragement, and healing.
Please pray for Carl Wayne Stevens as he enters the hospital today for Tuesday’s surgery.
Continue to pray for Mrs. Faye Price and her family as she slowly makes progress in rehab in Covington.d

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10).
Mike Benson, Editor
DID YOU KNOW that some advice is offered on the layaway plan…?
You may have no need of it today, but it can be stored in your mind and reserved for some time later. (I use advice today that I laid away years ago–advice that made little sense to me as a teenager but has wisdom I can fully appreciate today.)
Someone gave me advice on how to keep a job before I even filled out my first resume, advice on how to handle bills even before I ever had any, and advice about marriage long before I ever started dating. (My parents told me the best way to keep my marriage healthy was to “board up the kitchen and eat out.”)
I couldn’t use much of that advice in the fourth grade, but I still listened. And when the day came that I got a job, got my first bill, and said, “I do,” I had a storehouse of good advice to draw from.
When someone gives you good advice, don’t tune it out because you don’t feel you need it right now. Put it on layaway. Keep it in reserve. Who knows? It could come in very handy some day. (Martha Bolton)
“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.”
~Prov. 4:13~
Thanks for “checking in” today. May your Lord’s Day be just that!
