“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh.

Is there anything too hard for Me?”

~Jeremiah 32:27, NKJV~

 

Macy Gueldner, Mary Catherine Gueldner. & Martha P. Drago

Macy’s counts are very low, during a week where they should’ve doubled. I guess the increase in chemo finally caught up to her. So, her chemo this week is on hold. They’ll check again next week, and hopefully she can get back on track. She’s in good spirits; she just doesn’t have much immunity. So we’re hoping to stay germ free.As for me (Mary Catherine, Macy’s mom), my doctor ordered an MRI of my entire spine. He’s afraid I have ruptured a disc underneath my fusion. He said, “You are a tiny person, and Macy is not so tiny.” We’re both hoping that my lower back problem is just temporary. We’ll see…I have some good news: my mother in law (Martha) has only 4 radiation treatments before the end of her cancer journey 🙂

The equipment of Eleanor’s test was not working, so she was released yesterday and will return to her doctor today for the test in the office.  Pray for her as she has tests there.

 

Martha P. Drago

I started my radiation treatments today at MBP in Baton Rouge. I will have to drive to Baton Rouge everyday for 6 weeks. Since the cancer was on the left side, receiving radiation on that side can affect your heart. My radiation oncologist wanted me to use a new technique that is only available at theBaton Rouge MBP. It’s almost like being on an episode of Star Trek the way it is a set up, but without going into all the detail, it calls for me to hold my breath while receiving the radiation. This moves my heart out of the way and in return no radiation to the heart! Not looking forward to the drive everyday but what is six weeks in the scheme of things! I would much rather have a healthy heart! There is a light at the end of the tunnel and with each day it shines brighter! I am so grateful for all of your prayers and support. I would not have gotten this far in the journey without God, family and friends! Please continue to pray for successful radiation with little or no side affects and safe travels to and from Baton Rouge each day! Macy is doing well, please continue to pray for her as well!

 

Betty Taylor

Pray for Betty as she gets a new medication in her eye today.  Her back is better now.

VBS at FBC, Kentwood – Day 4 and going strong.  If your children/grandchildren have not been attending, it is not too late for them to get in two great days of VBS.

I love to teach children about missions.  My own missionaries will be returning “home” next month.  Pray for them as they sort through things and pack for the return trip. I thank God for this year, the first, the grandchildren had in American schools.  Thank God for the new friendships that have been made, the new missionaries that have been trained, and the friendships overseas that will continue to thrive.  Pray for their ministry to be fruitful.

You have lots of opportunities to serve God today.   One opportunity is to freeze food to be given to some local families.  It comes in so handy so them can have some home-cooked meals when that is no longer able to happen in their home.  

  • Freeze about 2 cups of food in a quart-size bag.  
  • Label and date the bag.
  •  Freeze it.  
  • Sunday, bring the bags of food to my classroom before Sunday School.  
  • The food will be delivered to some very appreciative people Sunday afternoon.

Tuesday's Second Addition

This morning I had a MRI and visited with the neurologist at Ochsner in New Orleans who did my gamma knife brain surgery.  The doctor said:

  • My tumor is shrinking.
  • There is space around the tumor now.
  • The brain stem is no longer touched by the tumor.
  • It’s unlikely to give me any more problems.
  • Come back in five years.

I felt confident going into the appointment and confident coming out.  Thank God for His healing!

Jadon’s Journey

Sorry I haven’t updated on Jadon’s foot. We still really don’t know what is going on. It is a little better and he isn’t complaining as much. He has such a high tolerance to pain that we don’t know if it is still hurting him or not. All he says is he doesn’t want to go back to that hospital with all the fish tanks and get another cast frown emoticon We go to the brace doctor tomorrow to see what he says. Hopefully he has a plan.

Treatment today at the Cancer Center.Bloodwork was perfect. I am feeling good.Thanks to each of you for all the prayers and good thoughts!

Went to doc today and got good news. Still dont know about chemo or radiation., but pain level is very low and I am getting around much better. So things are looking good so far.

Doug Toney (husband of former classmate)

The Pulminary doctor said Doug’s lungs are very happy.leaving vent on which means sedation. This is good because he doesn’t need pain meds. Pain meds do not agree with him at all. Just continue to pray. Thank you.

….

Doug did not want to wake up today when they gave him a sedation vacation. They halved the sedation. Giving diabetic friendly nutrients via ng tube. Bicarbonate in drip for acidosis and another med for stomach. No infection in blood. A gastroenterologist will see him tomorrow and the surgeon will check incision drains in the morning. He is still very ill, but maybe a bit better.
Macy Guelder (Franklinton, granddaughter of former school friend)
Macy’s hair is starting to fall out again, and that makes my heart sad. I saw a few strands of hair on her shirt, so I ran my fingers through her hair and plenty more strands came out. There hasn’t been an increase in her chemo, so I’m a little surprised. Her hair has been growing since July, and it’s very thick, so maybe most of it will stay. We’ll see…

Rev. Franklin Graham
  • Our Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains arrived yesterday on the streets of Baltimore. They are there to pray with people, to encourage calm, and to share God’s love. There are dangerous gangs who want to control the streets and cause more havoc. Pray that God will use these chaplains in a mighty way and that peace will be restored to this devastated city.
  • The Supreme Court heard arguments today relating to same-sex marriage. God is the One who made us male and female, and He defines marriage as between one man and one woman. There is no argument with what God has ordained. It is shameful that our country has declined so much morally that our courts are confused and would even hear this argument. Join me in praying that God would intervene and give these justices a glimpse of His heart and that they would make this decision based on His standards. Remember, two men cannot make a child; two women cannot make a child. This is a fact. Everyone alive today is the result of the union of a man and a woman. It is just simple biology, and the courts can’t change that.

Lord’s Supper for Homebound

Last night, a number of people from FBC, Kentwood went to various homes for a time of singing, prayer, the Lord’s Supper, and fellowship.  I was a one of an eight person team that went to visit Mrs. Susie Wales.  (I would have loved to have been in each home, but all the visits were at the same time.)  “Miss” Susie and each member of the team contributed to the visit.  She told us over and over how thankful she was we were there.  She walked to the door and stood there waving until we backed out.  What a great night it was!

I’m looking forward to going to another home next week.

I’m  so glad Jesus is with me each day in all I do.  He can be a part of your life too.  Ask a pastor or a friend.

Friday

“We do not know what to do,

but our eyes are on You.”

2 Chronicles 20:12 NIV~

 

Please add Eugene Tackett to your prayer list.  He will be having several by-passes today. I know the family will appreciate your prayers.

Shira Easley made the transfer to Greensburg.  Pray for her as she gets needed help and therapy there.

James Frazier’s heart valve surgery will be today.  Pray for James, his family, and the medical staff involved with his care.

Death has claimed another young man from our area.  Eric Montegue was 42.  I’ll post an obituary when one is available.

Third Thursday at the Cabin

There are old sayings about a little rain keeping people from church.  Once again we had a terrible storm before and during some of our meeting.  We had a great group and a very blessed night despite the storm.  Thanks to all who participated and all who came to listen.  I know we were all blessed!

Don’t let rain today keep you for ministering to others.

Thursday

“For the Son of Man has come to seek

and to save the lost.”

~Luke 19:10, HCSB~

 

Mrs. Hazel Smith is always in good spirits.  She has some good days and some “not so good”. Her family is faithful to visit and help her daily.  She knows she has been richly blessed.  Please continue to pray for this sweet lady.

Mrs. Nita Russell Miller is home and doing well.  Each day, it seems, she is learning one more thing she can do again.  Please keep her in your prayers as she continues on the road to a full recovery.  She is back at home with her daughter, Faibra Cade.

Nita’s daughter, Cathy Russell, has improved greatly and is back to how she was before the hospitalization.  Please continue to pray for her.

Mr. James Frazier had been undergoing lots of tests in Houston this week.  He will have his surgery Friday.  Please pray for him and for his family.

Miss Shira Easley is doing well following her surgery.  The plans are to transport her to Greensburg this afternoon so she can continue to be cared for and and get in more therapy before going home.

Doug Toney had a problem with medication not leaving his body as expected which lowered his blood pressure.  He is getting extra attention and improving.  Please pray for all involved in his care and in his family life.

The Kentwood area had a hailstorm late yesterday afternoon.  It was one of the worse that many of us have experienced.  At this time, I know of no injuries or major damage.

We are looking forward to another “Third Thursday at the Cabin” tonight at 6:30.  I hope we have a house full!

FBC, Kentwood will celebrate the Lord’s Supper Sunday morning.  I’m looking forward to being able to do so with two of my grandchildren for the first time.  I’m so thankful they have made the greatest decision of their lives at a young age.  I’m also thankful all six of my grandchildren have godly parents who had taught their children about God.

The Friday Morning Bible Study will meet at 10:00 in the Fellowship Hall of FBC,Kentwood tomorrow morning.  You are invited to attend and study with us.

    • This was a song we sang regularly in Roseland.  I don’t think I have sung it in the last thirty years, but it certainly is running through my brain and my memory now.  What a special memory and a  wonderful destination!

I hope that you can sing this song and mean it because Jesus lives in you!
