Thanks Bil
Please continue to pray for Stacey Scarle as she soon begins chemo.
Good news concerning Andy Taylor. He may be able to come home soon. I can just hear him saying, “Ain’t God good!’.
“The thought of my pain and my homelessness is bitter poison.
I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue,
fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
The Lord is all I have, so in him I put my hope.”
~Lamentations 3:19-26 TEV~
There are many in our area with heavy hearts today. Some are listed here, but some are not listed here. Pray for those you know who have needs and for those you don’t know of, but who have needs.
From Ashley Raborn
Please keep Sammy Ott in your prayers. He will start chemo treatments tomorrow at M.D. Anderson.
Sammy has been diagnosed with leukemia.
I was given incorrect information about Mr. Bill Conleay passing away. He’s still very sick and in ICU at North Oaks. His son, Randy, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday.
Jimmy Schwartz feels very tired and saw a doctor again yesterday. Please keep praying for Jimmy and his family.
Both Jesse Dean and Jason Dean have been having back problems for a while. Jesse has scheduled surgery for next month. Jason is trying to wait a few months to have his surgery. Pray for the Dean family.
Continue to pray for Mrs. Ann Chapman. She still has problems with her neck. Most importantly, she has a wonderful attitude about her problems and leaves them all in God’s hands.
Momma will be moved to rehab this weekend. Paperwork is still being processed, so we don’t know where or when yet. Pray for Momma to make a good adjustment to another new place.

I hope you take time to read some of these articles. They are very inspiring.
Let God take your hand and lead you through this day.
Anna Lee
Carry each other’s burdens,
and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
If anyone thinks they are something when they are not,
they deceive themselves.
Each one should test their own actions.
Then they can take pride in themselves alone,
without comparing themselves to someone else,
for each one should carry their own load.
~Galatians 6:2-5~

Heart to Heart with Holley
| In God’s heart I am…accepted |
Posted: 17 Aug 2011 07:16 AM PDT
Hey you,
the one wondering if you’re enough,
if you’d be loved if anyone really knew you—
turn your heart this way for a moment,
then lean in and listen close…
Acceptance?
You’ve got it.
You don’t have to look any further
than the hands of the One who made you,
the heart of the One who loves you.
You’re welcomed, held,
cherished just as you are
and encouraged to grow
into all you’ll become.
So hold your heart and head high;
look the world in the eyes and say…
“I’m His. I’m loved.
I’m already accepted today.”
–excerpt from God’s Heart for You, Embracing Your True Worth as a Woman by Holley Gerth {available as a book or ebook}

Robert Louis “Bob” Giesey
(August 20, 1928 – August 14, 2011)
He passed away August 14, 2011 in Amite, LA where he had been living in the past year. There will be a memorial service held at the First Presbyterian Church of Natchitoches on Thursday, August 18 at 2pm. There will be a visitation at the church after the service. His ashes will be scattered at a later date.
He was born and raised in Chicago, IL, playing football and other sports in high school and college. For a while, he was also signed on to the Green Bay Packers, but was later drafted and sent to Fort Polk, LA where he met and married his loving wife, Helen, in Leesville, LA. A week after their marriage, he was sent to Korea for 11 months; they always joked that they brought a photo of each other to the train station to ensure they’d recognize each other. Mr. Giesey worked at Valley Electric for 32 years. He also was a member of the Masonic Lodge for many years including several leadership positions. He was a volunteer in the Natchitoches Civil Defense, and worked parttime with the local Sheriff’s department periodically. He never met a stranger and was loved by practically everyone who met him. His humor, bright smile, and sparkling eyes were well noted, even by nursing home staff in his last years.
Bob, aged 82, was very involved with his children’s lives. He supported his wife in forming the first Girl Scout troop at Parks Elementary School in the late 1960s, as well as assisting in activities like cook outs and camping trips. He also was a Webelo Scout Leader at Oak Grove Methodist Church in the early 1970s. Additionally, for several summers in that time frame, he coached Little League Baseball teams including All Stars. He created a fall season football clinic for elementary and jr. high school boys so that they could learn the fundamentals of the game—this also included having one game at the conclusion of the month-long clinic including being refereed by high school football players which was a big thrill for these boys—many local athletes of that day credited him with their success on their football teams in high school. He was a chaperone for the NCHS band during his daughter’s years there, and was an avid athletic supporter at NCHS for his son’s football and baseball teams.
Bob was also very active in the First Presbyterian Church. He served as a deacon for many years as well as the Sunday School superintendent for over 20 years. He participated in practically every event held at the church, including church dinners, cleanings, Bible school, greeter, lay assistant, Santa’s helper, and he created an informal worship service held before Sunday School during the 1970s that included singing old-time hymns.
Mr. Giesey was preceded in death by his wife of 51 years, Helen Kelly Giesey and his parents, Robert and Estelle Giesey.
He is survived by his daughter, Jacki Giesey, of Amite, LA; his son, Bill Giesey, and wife, Angela, of Cocoa, FL; and one grandson, Erik Giesey, of Cocoa, FL. He will be missed.
In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to either the First Presbyterian Church of Natchitoches or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Please pray for Mrs. Linda Headrick’s family. Her mother, Mrs. Evans from Baton Rouge, had a medical problem this morning. The family is traveling to be with Mrs. Evans now.
“(I) do not cease to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers:
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give to you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of Him.”
~Ephesians 1:16-17~

Weekly Prayer Highlights (SBC)
August 17, 2011
* Praise Lord for making Himself known to a small group of women involved in a church plant in easternHungary!
* Pray for the salvation of a couple in Portugal who stayed after dinner for two hours for an eager discussion about faith, Jesus, and having a relationship with God.
* Thank the Lord that more than 60 radios were distributed in 20 market towns in China so that the Iron Pea people could hear the Good News; word has come that so far, 34 have put their faith in Jesus Christ!
* Pray that people in Japan will come to know the One who is called the Wonderful Counselor as “heart care” specialists listen and offer solid life advice and hope.
Last week I wrote about climbing the impossible. And as I set out on my bike last Sunday, I felt sure no hill could stand in my way.
And then.
As I tackled the last steep incline, I felt a pop beneath me and skidded to a halt miles away from home in the blazing summer sun. I spotted a police car parked a few yards away. Timidly, I approached the vehicle and cleared my throat.
“Can I use your cell phone?”
The phone rang without an answer. The policeman looked at my bike quizically and asked, “Think it will fit in the back seat?” I shrugged my shoulders, “Worth a try.”
We wedged that bike into the back like a sardine. The policeman cleared the passenger seat, pointed to it and said, “I usually don’t let people ride up here.”
I nodded and slipped in the door. I tried to reassure him that I was not, in fact, an intimidating traveling partner. “I’ve never been in a police car before!” I declared.“That’s a good thing,” he responded sternly. I noted he drove above the speed limit–probably because I smelled so bad.
As we pulled up in front of my house, my wide-eyed husband came to the front of the garage and looked at me as if to ask, “What did you do now?”
We popped my bike out of the back seat and I was home. The policeman answered my thanks with a single sentence, “Have a nice day, ma’am.”
Safe on my sofa, I reflected on the difference between last week’s ride and this one. Sometimes we do climb the impossible. We push through and realize we’re stronger than we ever knew. And sometimes God, in His loving care, makes a way for us to be carried instead just when we need it most.
Either way, He promises we’ll finish the ride.
Either way, we get Home.
And, in the end, that’s really all that matters.
God loves us enough to carry us through the difficult times in our lives. I’m so thankful for that and know you are too!
Anna Lee
