“In an acceptable time I have heard You,
and in the day of salvation I have helped You.
In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you.”
~Isaiah 49:8a~
Mrs. Yvonne Birch
Yvonne got tripped by a dog and broke her leg Monday. Just as she was getting close to getting past her back surgery, she is bummed up again. Pray for her as she goes through this latest health issue.
Mrs. Ferrie Gene Blackmon
Ferrie Gene got home from the hospital, for the second time, Monday. She is still full of energy, but is limited in what she should be doing. Pray for her to be patient as she gives herself time to heal.
Mr. Wayne Criswell (by Mary Criswell)
We got home about 5:30 and Wayne’s surgery went fine! We got caught in
the traffic mess on I-12 and took almost 2 hours to get back to
Hammond! One step closer to licking this thing!
His first Chemo will be Friday morning! Keep us in your prayers!!
Mr. John Orr (Texas)
John is at home in Sulphur Springs, Texas again. Keep praying.
Mr. Bobby Simpson
Pray for Bobby and Betty as they prepare for his surgery 3-3-14 at North Oaks. Thankfully, he will only be given a local anesthetic. Pray the surgery will be effective and not need to be repeated.
