He completed chemo #5 of 7 Friday! About 1/2 way thru his radiation. Then I guess they will do another scan to evaluate! So ready to get this over! He has had very few problems with the treatments other than some dietary limitations! He is still going to the gym 4x a week but not for as long! Thanks for the prayers!  (Mary)

Susie St. Alexander

Susie is much better.  She was able to sit up for 3 1/2 hours yesterday and eat some of a regular meal for the first time.  She’s off the vent and on regular oxygen.  Please continue to pray for her improvement and for her family.

Johnnie “Lil Man” Santangelo

Johnnie, his family, and some friends have made it to Phoenix, Arizona where he will have his treatment.   Pray for them as he goes through this process.

Friday

 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,

but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen is eternal.  

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed,

we have a building from God,

an eternal house in heaven,

not built by human hands.”

~2 Cor. 4:18-5:1~

To quote Bro. Danny, pastor of SCBC:

“Of all the things that happened today the most important thing that happened is that God in His amazing grace gave us another day.

Should He do that make it a good one if He doesn’t look me up when you get up there and let’s spend a few moments worshipping Him together.

Either way tomorrow will be a new day or a trip home! Enjoy whichever one we get! God bless.”
