Tuesday

“All the nations You have made

will come and bow down before You, Lord,

and will honor Your name. “

~Psalm 86:9~

 

Mrs. Nadine Council sent an update on her son, Chris Council, and new information about Dr. Earl Council.

  • Chris – had last radiation treatment last Monday; no new signs of lymphoma; taking antibiotics for inflamation of stomach; blessed that problem was found at this stage, not later; cancer in eye is treatable
  • Doc – pain in legs and lower back; in rehab; trying shots with surgery a last resort

Please keep the Council family in your prayers.

Pray for Rufus Williams as he has a heart cath. at Lacombe at 7:00 this morning.  Pray for Margie as she waits during the procedure.

Jadon Pailet is now seizure free for a year and a half.  Continue to thank God for the progress Jadon has made since surgery.  He is looking forward to school starting in a few weeks.

Austin Rose update written by him mother, Denise:

I know it has been a while since I posted but “no news is good news”. Austin has been having very good days. We are almost finished with this 3rd round of chemo. And “if the good LORD is willing and the creek don’t rise” WE WILL BE GOING HOME THIS WEEK!!! So Ready!

Patricia Nicolosi Manzella (Pat) formerly from Hammond was involved in a serious car accident on July 15th and is in critical but stable condition at University Hospital in Jackson Mississippi. Pat currently lives in Kentwood and works at Sunflower. She needs your help. We are organizing a blood drive in her name at the blood center in Hammond. Please donate blood and or platelets on her behalf. The family appreciates everyone and thanks you in advance.  Mrs. Pat is in need of blood donations. If you can help, please contact the local Blood Center in Hammond.   (Mrs. Manzella lives on Bethel Road.)

Pray for the ladies who will be working to organize material in the library at the associational missions office the next couple of days.  We hope to make it more usable for everyone and a lot easier for the secretary and others to access materials.

While shopping this week, keep your eyes open for 100% cotton or flannel fabric that can be used for children’s hospital gowns.  Patters to look for are sports related, cartoons, holidays, and other things you think children will like.  There are two drop boxes at FBC, Kentwood.  Susan, the wonderful lady who sews the gowns, will be in Kentwood that day to supervise a “cutting party”, so bring the fabric in by Sunday.

Girls, youth, and ladies will be donating purses for us to fill and give away through the Re-Store shop in Amite.  We will need lots of things to go in the purses to make them special – pens, small notebooks, files, tissues, reading material, etc.  We hope to have enough to make each purse like a gift box.  Christian literature would be wonderful.  Tracts will also be included.

Boys and girls from several area churches are at R.A. and G.A. camp.  Pray for them and their leaders that they may all grow in the Lord.

Please say a prayer that our dad can begin to get the nutrition he needs to strengthen his body to be able to take his chemo treatments. The feeding through the JPEG tube has proven to be a real challenge for him. On a thankful note, we have some great professionals working with him to get him where he needs to be. Thank you Michael Davis, RN and Ray Glasgow and staff for your efforts to get us where we need to be.

Oneida’s son Willey and his wife Eudora are here to visit for the weekend. Please pray for traveling grace for them as they begin their journey home on Sunday.

Thank you each and everyone.

Melissa Johnson got a good repost yesterday.  Her arms are now strong enough for her to begin driving again.  This is a major milestone for her.  Thank God for the progress He has allowed in her recovery.

Tangipahoa Baptist Church has had VBS all week.  Bro. Greg challenged the children to bring $1,500 for the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home.  The did, so he had to eat night crawlers.  I watched the video.  After the third worm, he took a big swig of Tobasco Sauce.  He certainly kept his end of the deal.  Also, the children collected materials and packed health kits to be given away through Re-Store in Amite.  Thank God for the children who participated in these two projects this week.  May God richly bless each of you.

I haven’t posted anything from Baptist Press lately, so you have missed some good articles.  You would probably benefit from reading from BPNews.net.

Larry Carruth (From Becky C. Lindsey)

Please keep Dad at the top of the prayer list. We see his oncologist tomorrow and are really not certain of the report we will get. Prayers always work and noq more that ever we are requesting our prayer warriors to shine. Please pray for Daddys comfort. Let your prayer request simply ask for God’s will to be done. There is not another man that has been faithful to the call of Jesus Christ. I believe in miracles and I hope we receive one. Thank you for your support and all that you do. If I do not message you, I hope that you will remember to keep his name foremost in our daily prayer request. He needs all we can get….

 Austin Rose (From his mother, Denise)

Well we didn’t get to go home today… Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Good news is that he had a spinal treatment done today and no sickness!! AMEN.

Amber Prine Ragan ( (From her mother, Kathy)

I would like to start this post off by wishing our hero, Amber, a Happy Birthday today! We were able to spend the last two days together in Houston along with my grand-daughter, Ashlynn. We had a great trip along with a good report from MD Anderson. Everything seems to be moving along nicely. Her blood counts were good and she can now start seeing her new oncologist in Baton Rouge for her chemo management. She will need to return back to MDA for follow-ups, but not every month. This is what we were hoping to hear . She did not have an MRI this trip. They will start doing MRIs every two months.
Today Amber will celebrate her birthday. This past year has been a tough one, but we are so blessed to be where we are today. I continue to be amazed with her strength and positive attitude. For those of you that know Amber personally, know that she is a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend to all. Please continue to keep her in your prayers as she begins her third round of chemo tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Amber, I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love to all,
Kathy (Ree Ree)
