Tuesday


Be strong and of a good courage,

fear not, nor be afraid of them:

for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;

he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

~Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)~

(I don’t know why I was drawn to this verse today,

but it surely was “just the one” some of us needed to focus on today.)

“It Must be God”

http://www.joycemeyer.org/Articles/Devotional.aspx

 

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
~1 Corinthians 13:4-8~
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”
~Romans 8:35~

Steve Hatchel (from Boyd)

Thank you for praying for my father’s surgery. The doctor removed 98% of the tumor. After the surgery, he had decreased mobility in his left side and is unable to move his leg. The pathology report indicated a Grade 4 Multi-form Glioblastoma malignant brain tumor. My parents will be considering treatment options within the next two weeks. Please pray for my father, mother, and extended family. Please call 214-552-6437 before visiting Medical Center of Plano.

Johnnie “Lil Man” Santangelo

Update: Lil Man had to go to the ER today because of increased vomiting. The CT scan revealed swelling at the site where the tumor was removed and the shunt is working fine. They are restarting steroids to help the swelling and are giving him meds through the IV for nausea & vomiting. He’s resting now. His blood pressure is high 170’s/90’s but hopefully will come down now that he is comfortable. We will keep u posted. Keep the prayers coming. Love, The Santangelo’s
