From Carolyn Blackwell Boyd
Mom is out of surgery. She had a filter put in to prevent blood clots from entering her lungs. We hope to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and to start radiation treatments early next week. Thanks for the prayers. Please continue!!!

and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

No news from the Hatchels this morning. I hope they rested well and are preparing for the last leg of their trip home.
Add Mr. Ernest “Cete” Dillon to your prayers. His sinus procedure has not helped yet.
I know many of you are thanking God for the rain you received the last two days. We didn’t get much here, but are thankful for what we received. We’re also thankful we did not have any problem with the tornado that was sited at Greensburg.
Aunt Eva Smith (90) in northern Alabama
Aunt Eva is still in A-Fib. Tomorrow morning they are going to a cardio version to try to shock her heart back into rhythm. If that is successful they may do a pacemaker. She looks good, ate lunch well, and has a positive outlook! I’ll keep you posted.

We’re spending an unscheduled night in London. Now it looks like we’ll make it to Prague tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
After the long delay in New Orleans, they missed the flight to London. Now, they are waiting for a flight to Prague. A 24 hour trip has turned into a 48+ hour trip. God is still in control. Keep praying for them as they try to get home!
“God shall bless us,
and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.”
~Psalm 67:7~
Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell is hospitalized at North Oaks again. Please pray for her, Mr. John Alan, and other family members.
Karen Miller’s mother now has a block for pain. It seems to be working.
My aunt, Eva Smith, is hospitalized in Alabama. She recently had her 90th birthday. Pray for her family in Alabama and Louisiana as they wait to see what the day holds.
We don’t have any news from the Hatchels yet. I hope that means they made the flight to London last night. If so, they should have arrived there about daylight. After customs and a layover, they will have one more flight.
Heart to Heart with Holley Gerth: What Keeps You and I Close
Posted: 30 May 2012 06:40 AM PDT
We sit on the last row of a country church. I squeeze Ann’s hand, hardly believing that I get to be here with her and her whole family. We have been friends for years now. Separated by geography and close in heart.
The elements are passed.
The bread. His body broken for us. And I smile in amazement at what God has done with two broken word girls. How he has seen fit to use us and make us whole.
The cup. His blood spilled out for us. And my heart fills with joy because I realize this is what joins us. This is how I came to be here in this little country church.
When she passes the cups to me, I lean in and whisper, “Blood sisters.”
That’s what we are.
She and I.
You and I too.
Blood sisters and brothers. Joined together in a way that’s even deeper than what flows through our veins. Of all God has given, the love we share with each other still stuns me most.
After the service we stand beneath trees and we capture this moment with cameras. We stand close to a cross as we do so. And it seems right.
We laugh, talk late into the night, share dreams and struggles. I tell her that her family is extraordinary. I tell her the more I see of her life the more beautiful she is to me. I tell her that I love her not just anyways but always.
All too soon we’re pulling away from the drive. But nothing can pull us apart.
Because that’s the way blood ties are.
And my heart swells with happiness and thanks at the miracle of it.

Have a terrific Thursday. Pray for the rain to come with all the lightning and thunder in God’s time.

The Hatchels will be traveling across the Atlantic while most of us will sleep tonight. Tomorrow, they will land in London where they will go through customs before boarding their third and final flight into Prague. Pray for a good adjustment to the seven hour time change.
The Hatchels’ first flight has been delayed until 4:46 due to bad weather at Dallas/Fort Worth. Thank God for knowledge that allows flights to be delayed rather than to fly into bad weather. Don’t think of this as a bad start. Think of it as God’s protection!
Pam Alston shared the great news that her niece, Cali, got the good news today that her treatment is shrinking her cancer. Continue to pray for Cali and her family.
“Blessed be God,
who has not turned away my prayer,
nor His mercy from me!
~Psalm 66:20~
Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell had several seizures yesterday and was admitted back into North Oaks. Please continue to pray for her, Mr. John Alan, and the other family members.
The Hatchel’s first plane leaves New Orleans at 2 P.M. Pray for all to go well as they prepare to leave the seminary this morning. There are lots of friends to say good-bye to.

Today, I had a MRI and saw the neurosurgeon who did my gamma knife surgery for the brain tumor. My tumor is shrinking as he expected. He said I could reduce my medication and to come back in one year. Thanks for your many prayers on my behalf. I walked into Oschner with no doubt of what I was going to hear about the good results of my surgery. I fully expect the tumor to shrink even more in the next year.
While at Ochsner, we visited Marsha Bankston. She was receiving blood and hoped to have a chemo treatment tomorrow and come home Thursday. If she is unable to have the chemo, she will try again in a week. Keep her in your prayers.
The Hatchels are packed and ready for their trip home to Prague. They fly out about 2 P.M. for Dallas. Then, overnight they will cross the Atlantic landing in London. Their third flight will carry them to Prague. Pray for good flights, no missed connections, easy entry through customs in London, and safe and timely arrival of all their luggage. Thanks to you for your prayers and kindnesses to them over the months they were here. They are anxious to return and continue their ministry to the Roma in Europe.

Be thankful if you received some rain yesterday. Many people did not get any rain. Remember, we will get rain in His time.
Do something to encourage someone else today.
