He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white.
I will never blot out his name from the book of life,
but will acknowledge his name
before my Father and his angels.
Eleanor Morris
The equipment of Eleanor’s test was not working, so she was released yesterday and will return to her doctor today for the test in the office. Pray for her as she has tests there.
Martha P. Drago
I started my radiation treatments today at MBP in Baton Rouge. I will have to drive to Baton Rouge everyday for 6 weeks. Since the cancer was on the left side, receiving radiation on that side can affect your heart. My radiation oncologist wanted me to use a new technique that is only available at theBaton Rouge MBP. It’s almost like being on an episode of Star Trek the way it is a set up, but without going into all the detail, it calls for me to hold my breath while receiving the radiation. This moves my heart out of the way and in return no radiation to the heart! Not looking forward to the drive everyday but what is six weeks in the scheme of things! I would much rather have a healthy heart! There is a light at the end of the tunnel and with each day it shines brighter! I am so grateful for all of your prayers and support. I would not have gotten this far in the journey without God, family and friends! Please continue to pray for successful radiation with little or no side affects and safe travels to and from Baton Rouge each day! Macy is doing well, please continue to pray for her as well!
Betty Taylor

Please continue praying for him and his family.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song
- “My Father Is with Me” – odb.org
- You will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ~John 16:32~
- “Never Alone” – I love to recall the songs I learned at church as a child and sang for many years. They bring back all the feeling of love, faith, comfort, etc. from my earliest memory.

VBS at FBC, Kentwood – Day 4 and going strong. If your children/grandchildren have not been attending, it is not too late for them to get in two great days of VBS.
I love to teach children about missions. My own missionaries will be returning “home” next month. Pray for them as they sort through things and pack for the return trip. I thank God for this year, the first, the grandchildren had in American schools. Thank God for the new friendships that have been made, the new missionaries that have been trained, and the friendships overseas that will continue to thrive. Pray for their ministry to be fruitful.
You have lots of opportunities to serve God today. One opportunity is to freeze food to be given to some local families. It comes in so handy so them can have some home-cooked meals when that is no longer able to happen in their home.
- Freeze about 2 cups of food in a quart-size bag.
- Label and date the bag.
- Freeze it.
- Sunday, bring the bags of food to my classroom before Sunday School.
- The food will be delivered to some very appreciative people Sunday afternoon.
