But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

~Galatians 5:22-23~

Request from Jan Hammons

Please add Darrell’s friend and former pastor, Dr. Michael Hawley, retired pastor from Ponchatoula, to the prayer link.  He has a large growth on the artery from the kidney to the heart.  He is seeing a surgeon today (Friday).  Thanks.

Please pray for all the people with colds due to the changing weather conditions. Colds can make people miserable and return again and again.
