Mrs. Susie Wales popped her hip out of place.  She’s being taken to the Lake by ambulance.  The family requests you pray this can be easily fixed.

Jimmy Alford (Brother of Kaye Roberts, not David’s brother)

 He had the port put in last Friday and was supposed to start chemo today.  But, they wanted to run some more tests first.  They’re checking to see if he has a particular gene that would give them a better idea of which chemo to use.   They’re ready to get started.

Wednesday

“All humanity will come to You,

the One who hears prayer.”

Austin Rose  – Life has changed so much for this family in just a few days.  Isn’t it comforting to know God hasn’t changed?

Update on Austin … He had surgery this morning to put in a temporary vascular catheter. Used it to start dialysis tonight. Tomorrow he starts a week long chemo treatment followed by another week of more intense chemo. He then gets a week break before next round. If he is doing well he may get to go home for a few days. One day at a time though. Steve and I are absolutely amazed and in awe of how many prayers are being said for him. We have a tough journey ahead so please keep praying for a complete healing. And in my prayers I will thank GOD for each one of you!!

VBS at Mt. Nebo – Tuesday night the y had 90 children and 133 total in attendance.  Praise the Lord!

Tuesday Addition

Update on Austin Rose (His parents grew up in Amite.)

Update on Austin…. For all of my friends who are praying for Austin ( and there are so MANY that it warms heart ) please continue to do so. He has been diagnosed with Mature B-cell leukemia/lymphoma. While we are shell shocked, we have been told there is a 90% cure rate and that is what we are hanging on to! Mature B Cell is aggressive so it requires aggressive treatment…he will have his first round of chemo today or tomorrow, depending on his strength. He will undergo surgery this morning to put in a vas cath ( catheter) in case his kidneys have trouble after chemo processing all of the cancer cell debris. So that is where we stand right now. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and ask Our Heavenly Father to grace us with a complete healing. From the bottom of my heart… Thank you so much.

Sunday – The Lord’s Day

“Jesus answered,

‘It is written:

“Man shall not live on bread alone,

but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’”

~(Matthew 4:4 NIV~

I received word and/or pictures from several Vacation Bible Schools.  I’m so thankful churches realize the importance of VBS to the children.  Thank-you to everyone who worked in any way at any church to provide for the children.  More mission teams are home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes and a heart full of memoriers.  You can’t go wrong when you tell others about what’s in God’s Word.  Stay tuned.  There are more VBSs coming!

At 6:30 tonight there will be a youth concert at The Lord’s Church.  All area youth are invited to participate.

Pine Ridge United Methodist Church will have their monthly, fourth Sunday, breakfast this morning.  Donations will be received for Pat and Ken Norton.  This church has been doing the monthly breakfasts for a long time.  They’ve helped a lot of people.  That’s a great local mission project!

Jack M. Linzay Sr.

Jack M. Linzay Sr., 81, was born in Lecompte, Louisiana, to Lee Howard and Essie Pittman Linzay on February 20, 1932 and passed from this life on June 22, 2013 at Dubuis Hospital, Alexandria.

Jack attended Menard High School where he was captain of the football team. He then went on to proudly serve our country in the United States Navyduring the Korean Conflict on the USS McNair, at which time he circled the earth two times.

After returning from the Navy, he met the love of his life, Martha Ann Crutchfield and they were married August 18, 1956. He then went on to attend Southwestern Louisiana University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Industrial Arts. Jack then began working for Southern Farm Bureau in Lafayette Parish and soon moved to Tangipahoa Parish, where he was agency manager for seventeen years. While in Amite, Jack was instrumental in helping to establish Oak Forrest Academy in 1969 and served as the first school board president.

He was a deacon at First Baptist Church in Amite, and was actively involved in several mission trips and church construction projects in Mexico while serving. In 1979 Jack moved to the Alexandria area, where his life-long dream was fulfilled, by opening his own building and contracting business. Jack had a special talent and passion for custom cabinets and millwork and was a member of the Central Louisiana Home Builders Association. Over his lifetime, Jack served on many building projects and construction of several churches and buildings, including but not limited to, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, Word of Grace and Trinity Christian Center.

Jack was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish but his greatest joy was spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of fifty-six years, Martha Ann Crutchfield Linzay; four sons, Jack M. Linzay Jr. of Alexandria, James “Jim” C. Linzay and wife, Jill of Pineville, John H. Linzay and wife, Rita of Lecompte and Jeffrey S. Linzay and wife, Tammy of Dry Prong; thirteen grandchildren, Brittany, Ashley, Rachel, Jason, Amy, Jessica, Hannah, Emily, Amy, Christopher, Mathew, Michael and Danny and four great grandchildren.

The family asks that visitation be observed Monday, June 24, 2013 at the Hixson Brothers, Alexandria, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and continue Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. until service time.

Services celebrating his life will be 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 25, 2013 in the Chapel of Hixson Brothers, Alexandria with Dr. David Remedios and Dr. Joshua Joy Dara officiating. Burial will follow at Alexandria Memorial Gardens.

Memorials may be made to Trinity Christian Center, 3466 Hwy 112, Forrest Hill, LA, 71430.

Saturday Evening

I have two deaths to share and a request to make.  All of these involve people from Amite.

1.  Denise Labarbara Rose, who grew up in Amite, requests pray for her son, Austin.  This is the latest information from her.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for all of the prayers! Austin has been feeling poohy for about 5 days. Finally, after seeing that a rash had developed, took him to emergent care. Ran blood work to check for mono, which was neg, but blood counts haywire and kidney levels off. Taken by ambulance to Scottish Rite. More blood tests but while we wait for results, he is being treated for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and HUS. Keeping him overnight for observation. Please keep praying that he responds to the antibiotics.

2.  Mrs. “Sook” Stevens from Amite passed away today at Hood Memorial.  She has had a lengthy illness, but had a good day yesterday.  I’ll post an obituary when one is available which will probably be tomorrow.  Pray for her family and friends.

3.  Mr. Jack Linzay, formerly of Amite, and a close friend of some of my family members passed away.  He fell and broke a hip a couple weeks ago.  His wife, a former nurse, has kept him going for years when there was little home of his survival.  He passed away this morning, so an obituary is not available yet.  Pray for this family who reside in the Alexandria, LA area now.

Note:  Denise and all her siblings were my former students, as well as several of the Linzay boys.   “Miss Sook” was married to a telephone man who worked with my daddy many years ago.

Friday Afternoon

Mrs. Susie Wales was admitted to Greensburg Hospital this afternoon.  She’s in room 109.  I asked her if the worship music, the company, or the food last night at the cabin made her sick.  It wasn’t that at all!!!  This had been coming on a few days, but she didn’t tell anyone until today.  Pray this doesn’t keep her down long.

Jesse Wall did well in surgery and is coming home tomorrow.  Pray for a good recovery.  I think this week was harder on him than the next few days will be.

Friday

“Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before Him.

God is our refuge.”

~Psalm 62:8~

Thursday Addition

Pray as the investigation continues in Boston.  Pray for the thousands of people who experienced these explosions.  Pray for them to be comforted today and in the coming days.  Pray for those investigating the situation.  Pray for safety of all those working to solve the problem and for other innocent people who may be too close to harm and not realize it.

Pray for the people of West, TX.  The plant explosion took many lives last night.  Pray for the survivors and the families of those who were lost.  Thank God for people who responded quickly and for churches, schools, and other places that are open and available for those without a home.

Thank God for people who share the Gospel during times like this by meeting physical needs as well as spiritual needs.  May many people grow closer to God because of there terrible events.  Good and God and shine through!
