Sunday

A verse we all need to be reminded of periodically…

Do not be quick with your mouth,

do not be hasty in your heart

to utter anything before God.

God is in heaven and you are on earth,

so let your words be few.

 

First, I want to mention three families I saw at the LA Heart Hospital in Lacombe.

  1. Robert Landry, from Amite, was leaving, but had been a patient due to A-fib.
  2. Jimmy Williams was  there for a couple of days.  I had a good visit with Linda.
  3. Gloria Gill was there for an outpatient test.  She will have a heart ablation next month.

Rebecca Williams, mother of Matt Williams, a former resident of Kentwood, will be having a heart ablation next week in MS.  Keep her in your prayers.

Carolyn Kirkfield, the wife of the late Rev. Charles Kirkfield, is very sick.  Please pray for her and her family.  Her children are Teri and Chad.

Bobby Black, a good friend of Jason’s from summer staff at Camp Ridgecrest in North Carolina, will soon be healed of cancer in heaven.  Bobby is from South Carolina and was a part of Jason’s wedding.  He is a young man, but has touched many lives.

Larry Watts is having more issues.  There is a possibility they are caused by a reoccurrence of cancer.  He is at North Oaks.

If

my people, who are called by my name,

will humble themselves pray

and seek my face

and turn from their wicked ways,

then

I will hear from heaven,

and I will forgive their sin

and will heal their land.

Easter Sunrise Services – I know of two places where  you can celebrate the resurrection this Easter morning at sunrise.  If your church has a service scheduled, please let me know so I can share the information.  We can’t be at more than one place, but  we can make a good choice if we know all the options.
