When you pray,
do not use a lot of meaningless words,
as the pagans do,
who think that their gods will hear them
because their prayers are long.
Do not be like them.
Your Father already knows what you need
before you ask him.
~Matthew 6:5-15 (TEV)~
Mr. Cete Dillon got a good report on his eye yesterday. Thank God for that.
Pray for Ora Lee Wilson and her family as they have memorial services for Barbara Jo Clark this morning.

Jesse Dean has an infection and will possibly be moved to Jackson tomorrow. His back is a little better.
Daddy got a good report today. It seems he had an incorrect diagnosis Thursday that led to treatment that made his condition much worse. I think he is on the mend now, but he still has more appointments this week. Keep him in your prayers.

I hope you will take time to read Micah’s new Caring Bridge site, especially his journal. At this point it is not long. I know reading it will give you a better insight into how to pray for Micah and his family.

Barbara Jo Clark
“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me;” With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away, and though we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, your hard working hands stopped to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.” Author Unknown.

Mrs. Annie Bell Harrell is hospitalized in Greensburg. Please pray for her and Mr. Phillis, their family, and the medical staff caring for her.
Daddy came home tonight. He will have at least four appointments this week. We still don’t have a diagnosis. Keep praying. Pray for Momma too. These last few days have been tiring for her.
Jesse Dean has been admitted to North Oaks. Please be in prayer for him as he undergoes tests.
Daddy has not been released yet. There may be a new concern. Keep on praying.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites!
They love to stand up and pray
in the houses of worship and on the street corners,
so that everyone will see them.
I assure you, they have already been paid in full.
~Matthew 6:5 (TEV)~

Thanks for the prayers for Daddy. He seems better already and is looking forward to being released from the hospital.
HOW DO YOU build a “sanctuary” in your busy life; a place where you can meet with God…?
Build a “closet.”
Isaac’s closet was in a field ( Genesis 24:63). Peter’s closet was on a housetop ( Acts 10:9).
You must fashion your own.
It may mean leaving the kids with your spouse, while you sit out on the back porch with a cup of coffee and your Bible for fifteen minutes.
It may mean snatching a few minutes when your baby is taking his or her afternoon nap.
For those who have a long drive to work, your sanctuary may be in your car with a CD player. It may mean posting a passage of Scripture near your steering wheel, where you can meditate and pray about it during the time that you drive.
It may mean reading your Bible during your lunch break at work.
It may mean taking the first ten minutes to read and pray in your office each morning.
It may mean putting your tennis shoes on and going for a walk with your Bible in hand.
It may mean sitting in your garage or workshop with a CD player to listen to sermons.
It’s not what the sanctuary looks like or where it is that matters. It’s what you do there that makes it a meaningful place. The sanctuary does not provide rest. What takes place there in the desert is what refreshes the inner man. (Steve Farrar)
“But you, when you pray, go into your room,
and when you have shut your door,
pray to your Father who is in the secret place;
and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” Matthew 6:6
Ora Lee Wilson’s sister passed away today. The wake will be from 5:00 – 9:00 Monday and the from 8:00 – 11:00 Tuesday at Seale Funeral Home in Denham Springs. I’ll post an obituary later.
God showed his great love for us
by sending Christ to die for us
while we were still sinners.
~Romans 5:8 NLT~
Mason Carter’s surgery went well yesterday morning. Thank you for praying for him.
Harrell Sharkey continues to have additional tests to help identify his problem. Pray for a diagnosis so treatment can begin.
Jesse Dean was injured at work Thursday. Pray for him as he seeks relief from back pain.
Rev. Bobby Eads has been hospitalized for heart issues. He’s home now. Keep Bobbie and Suzie in your prayers.
Daddy was admitted to North Oaks last night. He had a lot of tests yesterday afternoon and night. Pray for Daddy and Momma as they are separated during this time. They are usually together 24 hours a day every day! This is the first time I can remember him being in the hospital overnight. It’s also difficult for Momma and Daddy because they are together 24 hours of every day and have been that way since Daddy retired.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
WHEN SOMEONE HAS just become a Christian and started out in the Christian life, what advice would you give that person about Bible classes…?
Would you say, “Now the church has Bible classes every Sunday and Wednesday, but they aren’t really important. That the church assembles on Sunday night but you do not have to go if you do not want to”? Or would you say to a son or daughter, “I know that you would like to go today, but I want to read the paper, or I want to sleep late this morning, and I don’t think those Bible classes are to important anyway”?
What advice would you give…?
When we willfully neglect the services (as some are doing) we are telling our children and those around us that the church is not important to us. Our children may even feel the church is not important enough to become members of it. Then what could we say for ourselves? Could we say, “Lord, I did my best to teach them the true value of the church–I did this by going and taking them to every service?” via Main Street Monitor, Manchester, TN
Have a great weekend!
