Saturday

                            Though the mountains be shaken  

                                      and the hills be removed,    

              yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken

                     nor my covenant of peace be removed,”

                                              says the LORD,

                            who has compassion on you.    

                                           ~Isaiah 54:10~

 

Sherry Day had a full body MRI this week that came back clear.  Let’s thank God for this good report.

Barbara B. Gaines got the report of the lympth nodes that were removed a couple weeks ago.  She got an “all clear” report.  I’m thanking God for this wonderful report.

Michael Hornsby, Chinero Fowler’s step-dad, had a massive heart attack and will be having surgery this weekend.  Pray for the family and the medical team working with him.

Callie Cole is the young lady from Brookhaven who had an accident a few years ago.  She has some issues now that her mother would like for us to pray about.

First big outing – the zoo!

Camp Living Waters

Monica Maddox, Director of Volunteers, is thrilled and overwhelmed with your contributions for the five trailers and for your willingness to prepare a meal for a group of Campers on Mission who will be there to work March 23-27.  It not too late to call and volunteer.

We are asking that your church or group provide either lunch or supper for this group (40 – 60) Monday-Thursday. I will know for certain on Sunday, March 22 the total number.

We will provide the drinks.

Lunch is served at noon. Lunch is usually something light, such as soup, sandwiches, or hamburgers. Side items have included chips, salad, or fresh fruit.

Supper is served at 5:30. In the past supper has been jambalaya, spaghetti, pork, fried chicken and even pizza. Side dishes that compliment the main course are appreciated. We can provide the garden salad items.

Desserts are not needed as they usually bring enough on their own.

In order for a meal not to be duplicated, please let me know what you wish to provide as soon as possible. I would like to have the meal schedule completed by Feb 16h, 2015.

We also are asking for volunteers to come to the camp and help out with the breakfast meal. This would be Monday – Thursday also. I need 2 volunteers each day from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m. There is no serving line, but I would need help with clean up.
If you have any questions, please call my home. 985-345-3315.

Thursday Afternoon

Tim and Frieda Jones

Prayer Request for my husband, Tim Jones: Tim was having chest pain when they started the stress test, blood pressure was low; therefore they would not do the test. They called an ambulance for him. The ambulance would only take him to Hospital in Bogalusa not La. Heart hospital so he refused the ambulance. I am to drive him to La. Heart hospital. Pray for Tim, doctors, nurses, and me. They may have two of us. Lord knew about this before it happened. Trusting Him to get us through. Love you all. God bless.

Sisters from Roseland (Carol B. Sealey & Barbara B. Gaines)

Barbara had lung surgery two weeks ago at Ochner to remove a tumor from her lung. She gets a report on the lympth nodes tomorrow which will let her know if/what kinds of treatment is needed.

Carol has had back problems for years.  Despite procedures and surgeries, her back continues to deteriorate.

Please pray for these two ladies.  I have know them since they were born and their family all my life.

Thursday

“Call to Me, and I will answer you,

which you do not know.”

In my last post I forgot to include Mrs. Bessie Hayden.  She was taken by ambulance to Lallie Kemp Hospital because of chest pains.  Let’s pray for her as she undergoes testing there.

Mansell Stinson is looking forward to surgery next week in West Jefferson Hospital  Pray for him as he continues to wait.

I talked with Mr. Bobby Lawson‘s niece.  She said he continues to have ups and downs. Keep him in your prayers,

Pray for sister, Miss Fay Shoemaker and Mrs. Fern Brennan.  Their love and concern for each other has been steady.  Their health is not as good as it was when I first met them, but they doing the best they can.

Pray for Susan Rimes as she sees a doctor again tomorrow.

Thank God for the improvement Martha Griffith has made in two weeks.
