Friday

“I called to the LORD in my distress,

and I cried to my God for help.

From His temple He heard my voice,

and my cry to Him reached His ears.”

~Psalm 18:6, HCSB~

 

9-11

Let’s pray for our country and our world today.  I truly believe the world would be safer, happier, and more blessed if more people knew Jesus.  It’s our job/mission to pass on what we know so that others may know Him and through Him know peace and love.

Flo Hatcher

My mom went to oncologist today and they have admitted her to the hospital to give her IV fluids and hopefully get her feeling better. Until she’s better chemo and radiation have been postponed. We were told no need to panic, she’s stable but just needs a boost. Hopefully just 24 hours. Thanks for prayers.                                                         ~Julee Hatcher~

Callie Cole

Calli’s mom posted yesterday.  They live in Brookhaven.  Debi Crawford shared Calli’s name shortly after the accident.  I have shared her caringbridge posts here,

6 years ago today, Thursday Sept 10. she wasn’t drinking, she wasn’t texting, she wasn’t speeding….just a vehicle malfunction. The doctors said she wouldn’t make it, but she has come so far! It’s not easy being patient. I often wonder why God picked her and lets all the others walk away without a scratch. Only for them to get drunk and back behind the wheel…. or whatever the circumstance may be. What would she be doing today? Oh, how I miss her laughter!! All I know is, we serve the ultimate Healer, & one day, she will be herself again. Pray without ceasing. You only have one life, one shot… She dedicated herself to the Lord. What do you choose? Share her story. Save a life. Make disciples. ✨“Don’t stop believing”✨

Logan McGregor

Logan was able to have surgery yesterday.  It had been postponed for a couple of days.  Let’s pray Logan shows some signs of improvement.  Join with many of Logan’s friends in praying for Logan daily.

David Alford

David saw two doctors Wednesday, had more bloodwork, and will see two more later this month as part of the  post-hospitalization process.  So far, his heart is staying in rhythm.  Thank-you for all the prayers for us over the last six weeks.

FBC, Covington

In our travels Wednesday, we stopped at Chick-Fil-A in Covington.  A lady walked over to our table and said “David and Anna Lee”.  It was Mrs. Helen Singleton’s daughter, Margie.  We enjoyed a few minutes of visiting.  She told us she was on the way home from Bible Study at FBC, Covington.  The pastor’s wife teaches the class which has about 300 in attendance each week.  I was sharing that with Jennie yesterday.  Surprise, surprise, surprise!  FBC, Covington has a mission team in Prague this week!  What a small world and tremendous outreach of one church!  The pastor is Rev. Waylon Bailey who has been there since 1985 and whose blogs I share periodically.
