Trisha Wison, Dwayne’s wife, is much better now. Thank you for praying for her.

Pray for those on the rain-slick highways today. Especially, pray for the football fans who travel long distances and have late hours.
Have a great day of preparation for the Lord’s Day!

I just realized I did not complete today’s post – right after I lost what I had done early this morning.
We need you to remember Barbra Roberts in your prayers again. Today things have changed. I received news today that she had a stroke and she did not have a heart attack. I think things are a little better. Many of you will remember Barbra being married to Shug Roberts who died in 1995. Please pray for her family too.
Thanks
Melissa Johnson

Pray for Fay Faller. She’s seeing a doctor about her arm today. Pray for good advice.
Pray for Dana Bales Graham and her family as Dana has a tumor removed today.
We haven’t heard from Braden yet. Pray the arm is fine, the antibiotic is working, and the lungs are clearing.
Callie Cole:
This is Frances. I have time for a very quick update. Callie is off the ventilator! She seems to be tolerating and doing well. Also, her eyes are wide open. She remains unconscious and in a coma but she is improving. I anticipate what the medical field calls “neurological storming”. So, keep praying. This is our chance to demonstrate our faithfulness and just how much we love Him. Remember, in good times or bad times we will praise Him!
God bless you,
Frances

Quick update on Sophronia (my nickname for Callie; long story). At the 12 o’clock visit they had removed the ventilator and Callie was breathing very well on her own. She is still on 30% oxygen but other than that the respiration looks good. She was sound asleep during the visitation and we could not rouse her, however the nurse on duty stated that Callie had opened her eyes wide open this morning but was non-responsive. We would really like to see this for ourselves but we will have to take the nurses word for it for now. Either way conscious or unconscious, eyes open has to be a good sign. Thank you Lord and thanks to all of you who continue to lift her up to the Most High.

Sometimes our situation seems hopeless. We’ve dropped the ball and we don’t feel like picking it up again and running with it. We’ve been knocked down time and time again, and we just want to quit the game. But what we feel like doing and what we should do are two different things.
God loves us and walks along with us step-by-step. Sometimes, he is there as a friend. Other times as a guide. He is an encourager some days. Other days, he supports us and holds us up when we cannot keep going. I’m so thankful he’s been there for me in all those capacities lately. I depended on Him. He did not let me down lately and never has! What a friend!

Our grandson, Braden Alford, had surgery for his broken arm this morning. Braden had some oxygen problems following surgery and will be staying in the hospital tonight. His mom and dad are both with him while his other grandmother takes care of his sister. Pray the shadows on his lungs to be cleared by the antibiotic he is on. Thank God Braden is in good hands.
We had a “staffing” for Momma this afternoon. The good news is she will be released tomorrow afternoon to go to her HOME! Thank-you to all who have prayed for her. Continue to pray as she makes the transition to being home after this length of time at North Oaks.
Robert Brister shared this request.
Please add Diana Bales Graham to the prayer list. She is having surgery Thursday Oct. 8 to remove a brain tumor. She is the daughter of Freddy and Helga Bales of Kentwood.
