You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.
But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ;
rather, serve one another humbly in love.
~Galatians 5:13~
Please continue to pray for Sharon Slaven and her family. She was able to sit in a chair for a while in ICU yesterday.
We’ve been praying for Tommy Hood at MD Anderson. His brother, Bill Hood, had a jet-ski accident in Destin. Due to complications at the site of his injury, he had to go to the ER to have it checked and wound up with surgery. Pray for the Hood-Setoon family during this time. Especially for for their mother, Kenna.
