“11 ‘normal’ ways missionaries share the Gospel”
Mrs. Hazel Smith is always in good spirits. She has some good days and some “not so good”. Her family is faithful to visit and help her daily. She knows she has been richly blessed. Please continue to pray for this sweet lady.
Mrs. Nita Russell Miller is home and doing well. Each day, it seems, she is learning one more thing she can do again. Please keep her in your prayers as she continues on the road to a full recovery. She is back at home with her daughter, Faibra Cade.
Nita’s daughter, Cathy Russell, has improved greatly and is back to how she was before the hospitalization. Please continue to pray for her.
Mr. James Frazier had been undergoing lots of tests in Houston this week. He will have his surgery Friday. Please pray for him and for his family.
Miss Shira Easley is doing well following her surgery. The plans are to transport her to Greensburg this afternoon so she can continue to be cared for and and get in more therapy before going home.
Doug Toney had a problem with medication not leaving his body as expected which lowered his blood pressure. He is getting extra attention and improving. Please pray for all involved in his care and in his family life.
The Kentwood area had a hailstorm late yesterday afternoon. It was one of the worse that many of us have experienced. At this time, I know of no injuries or major damage.

We are looking forward to another “Third Thursday at the Cabin” tonight at 6:30. I hope we have a house full!
FBC, Kentwood will celebrate the Lord’s Supper Sunday morning. I’m looking forward to being able to do so with two of my grandchildren for the first time. I’m so thankful they have made the greatest decision of their lives at a young age. I’m also thankful all six of my grandchildren have godly parents who had taught their children about God.
The Friday Morning Bible Study will meet at 10:00 in the Fellowship Hall of FBC,Kentwood tomorrow morning. You are invited to attend and study with us.

Anna Lee, I talked with Dora Magee this morning and she would appreciate your adding Derry’s name to your prayer list. Derry is battling very painful cancer. Please pray for both of them as they journey through this difficult time.
Thank you!

As you pray for Doc, please pray for Dora and other family members too.
Doug Toney
Doug is the husband of my high school friend, Sandy Wilcox Toney. Doug’s back surgery went well. He is working to learn how often to use his pain pump to relieve pain. He is moving forward in the right direction. Please keep praying for Doug, Sandy, and their family.
Yesterday, I heard from two different people that Mr. James Frazier has not had surgery yet, but is undergoing tests. Pray for him during this time of uncertainty.
From the same two people, I learned that Shira Easley‘s surgery Monday went well. She’a in pain, but that was expected. Hopefully, she will be in Greensburg soon. Keep praying for her.
Continue to pray for Sherry Day. She’s thankful to be home.
Also, continue praying for the many we have had on our prayer list lately.

Salvador Joseph Misita – One of my Amite High School band directors
September 14, 1928 – March 27, 2015
Mr. Salvador was peacefully welcomed to his Heavenly Home on March 27, 2015 while surrounded by his loving family. A true gentleman, Sal was known for his compassionate nature and selfless acts of kindness. He never raised his voice and it was not uncommon for him to be forgiving and understanding. A romantic man, Sal would often be noticed giving his wife subtle winks to remind her of his love. Mr. Sal graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University’s music school, and dedicated his life to teaching future generations of young musicians and making them a force to be reckoned with. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and also played trumpet for the Military Band. Some of most treasured pass times included fishing, golfing, and making lasting memories with his family. Salvador is survived by his wonderful wife of 51 years, Hilda Misita, as well as numerous nieces and nephews that refused to leave his side during his long journey. The family would like to offer a special thank you to his gracious caregiver, Essie Price. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Mary Misita; sisters, Jennie Danna and Anna Labruzzo; and brothers, Tony, Vincent, and Roy Misita. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at Brandon. G Thompson Funeral Home, in Hammond, on Monday, March 30, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. until the funeral service at 11:30 a.m. with the recitation of the rosary beginning at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery. Dr. Tom Cobb and Father Cayet Mangiaracina will officiate the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

John Orr‘s surgery Wednesday went well. He is home in Sulphur Springs, TX now with family staying with him. He bounces back real well for someone 88.5. The doctor said the tumor on his bladder would not have given him any trouble for about 15 more years. The gall bladder was full of stones and should be better now.
Pray for James Frazier. He goes to Houston Monday for heart valve replacement surgery. Your prayers will be appreciated.
Pray for Shira Easley too. She will have surgery in Covington Monday, the 19th. She also would appreciate your prayers.
Sherry Smith Sasson is doing very well following her surgery. She is at home.

Operation Christmas Child – Bags for new items are available in the “shoeboxes” across from the kitchen in the hallway. Check it out. Get you bags and make your purchases. Return your filled bags to the same area. I will store the items until needed in the fall.

David and I took a ride to see one area touched by the tornado last night. It’s just down 441 a mile or two. Joey and Meagan S. Drago were surrounded by downed trees, but their house seems to be just fine. Most of the trees seem to have fallen on fences, so there will be some cleaning up and repairing in the next few days. Thankfully, that seems to be the extent of the damage near us.
While out, we stopped at Sherry Day‘s house to leave something. She came out and sat and visited for a while. She is doing so much better than anyone had even hoped for. I would like to take her around for “show and tell” today as an example of God’s might work this week.
Charles Danny Venable, Sr. , 67 died at 3:55pm on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 due to complications following heart surgery. “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” John 14:1. Danny was born August 7, 1947, in Amite. He was Director of Mechanical Testing at Welding Testing Laboratory in Baton Rouge, LA and taught welding at Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 198. He is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Marlene Valentine Venable; his children, Charles Danny “CD” Venable, Jr., Milton Richard “Ricky” Venable and wife Marilyn, Aimee Venable Payne, Christina Venable Breaux and husband, Rhett; his grandchildren, Chase Venable and wife DeAnna, Megan Venable, Jordan Venable, Danny Ray Venable, Dylan Payne, Brittney Payne, Brayden Montalvo, Cade Breaux, Kaylin Breaux, and Kinley Breaux; his great grandchildren, Darrelyn Venable, Carter Venable; his parents, David E.
