As of late last night, Nikki was doing a little better.  Tests had not indicated any problem.  She will be taken off the seizure medicine.  The family hopes she will be sent home today.  Pray for this family as they search for a cause of the seizures.  May God’s presence be real to this family during these difficult days!

“Risk your life and get more than you ever dreamed of.”

~Luke 19:26 MSG~

 

Humility doesn’t mean that you think less of yourself,

but that you think of yourself less.

~~~Max Lucado~~~

I haven’t heard any reports from See You at the Pole this morning, but I hope our young people turned out and set a good example for others.

There are 41 more days until the election.  If you have not already joined 40 Days of Prayer for America, I hope you will do so today.

There will be an area wide (larger than just our association) training for Sunday School Teachers Monday night at FBC, Kentwood from 6:00-8:30.  I understand there are only four in the state.  This replaces the meetings such as Blitz on the Bayou.

Wendell Miller surgery for a pacemaker went well this week.  Keep him in your prayers as he recovers and adjusts to this device.

Andy Taylor learned Monday the doctor will try two more things before surgery.  The coming six weeks he will wear a larger brace and have a gel to rum on to ease the pain.  Let’s pray this option works.

Kim (Newell Landry) goes in at 9 AM in the morning to be treated with the radioactive iodine! Please pray she will have no bad side effects and will be healed of this cancer!!! Thanks friends for all your prayers! Love to all of you!!  (From her mother Rosa M. Turner)

Blessed be the name of the Lord!’

In all of this Job did not sin by blaming God.”

“My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named,

so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation, but, as it is written:

‘Those who were not told about Him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand.’”

~Romans 15:20-21~

What a moving night we had in the cabin last night!  If you missed it, mark your calendar for the third Thursday next month.

Mr. Philip Harrell’s blood was still too thin for the angiogram yesterday.  He will be tested again today to see if surgery is possible.  Pray the test will be done on schedule according to God’s perfect timing.

Ruby Travis had serious back pain for about a week before she learned she had two herniated disks in her back.  Doctors did surgery Wednesday night in Jackson allowing Ruby to come home yesterday.  Pray for a complete recovery.

Paul Boudreaux, father of Joy Moore, had a stroke yesterday.  Pray for him and the family as they go through the coming days.
