“The thought of my pain and my homelessness is bitter poison.
I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue,
fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
The Lord is all I have, so in him I put my hope.”
~Lamentations 3:19-26 TEV~
There are many in our area with heavy hearts today. Some are listed here, but some are not listed here. Pray for those you know who have needs and for those you don’t know of, but who have needs.

Please keep Sammy Ott in your prayers. He will start chemo treatments tomorrow at M.D. Anderson.
Sammy has been diagnosed with leukemia.
I was given incorrect information about Mr. Bill Conleay passing away. He’s still very sick and in ICU at North Oaks. His son, Randy, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday.
Jimmy Schwartz feels very tired and saw a doctor again yesterday. Please keep praying for Jimmy and his family.
Both Jesse Dean and Jason Dean have been having back problems for a while. Jesse has scheduled surgery for next month. Jason is trying to wait a few months to have his surgery. Pray for the Dean family.
Continue to pray for Mrs. Ann Chapman. She still has problems with her neck. Most importantly, she has a wonderful attitude about her problems and leaves them all in God’s hands.
Momma will be moved to rehab this weekend. Paperwork is still being processed, so we don’t know where or when yet. Pray for Momma to make a good adjustment to another new place.
Lay Renewal begins tonight at FBC, Kentwood. Supper will be prepared and waiting when you go tonight.
