Update on little Chloe (2 months old)
Chloe’s surgery went well, but was a little longer than expected! She is doing well. She will be critical for the next few days! Continue to pray for her and her family.
Laura DeBlanc
Continue to pray for this precious gift from God.
“The Lord answered her,
“Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,
but one thing is necessary.
Mary has made the right choice,
and it will not be taken away from her.”
~Luke 10:41-42, HCSB~
Jadon’s Story: Here we go again!
To all of my prayer warriors. I really need your prayers. My doctor is
putting me on prednisolone steriod again. I will be on this steriod
for 2 months. Please pray that this will work this time. I really need
a break. My seizures are keeping me up throughout the night and I’m
having them throughout the day. So please pray that these seizures
will go away. We know that our God can heal me and we know that
starting these steriods are in his plan. Now we have to patiently
wait while we follow his plan for my life. Please take the time to say
the prayer below.
Dear God,
We know that you have a plan for Jadon. We pray that the steriods
will give him relief. We pray that he will have few side effects and
that he will not get too agitated. Lord we know that you are healer
and we pray for healing for sweet Jadon. Amen

| “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these,” Luke 18:16b DHOBI WASHERMAN
and we would hang everything on the clothesline where they would dry in the hot desert air. I lived in El Paso, TX, so who needed a clothes dryer? When I got bigger, mom let me iron. There is a group of people in India known as the Dhobi (DOUGH-bee) and the name means “washerman.” For centuries, the Dhobi people have served others by washing and ironing their clothes. They pass down their commitment for this honorable work to their children. An iron is usually part of a Dhobi girl’s dowry when she gets married to a Dhobi man. Along with their occupation in life, Hinduism is also passed down to each generation. Each family makes sure to teach their children the proper way to worship the various family gods, such as Shiva, Ganesh, etc. In the Bible, we learn about Paul who was a tentmaker, Peter a fisherman, Dorcas a weaver, and Jesus a carpenter. In those days, they would have learned their skills from their parents or maybe they were apprenticed at a young age in a family business. Would you pray that the Dhobi will worship Jesus who can once and for all eternity make them clean and spotless? |
Have a wonderful weekend. Be sure God gets his fair share of your time!

Callie Cole
Just a note to update you on Callie’s first day of school. (She will only go once or twice a week from 9 till 1.) Callie had a good time. She was a little disappointed because she did not get to visit with friends. I explained that she will be able to go to break and visit some once the weather gets warm and stays warm. She is so cold natured that I just don’t chance unnecessary exposure.
She attended a class that she has never been exposed to so maybe we can determine her short term and long term memory deficits. Can she store new information? We are not sure. The school work she has been doing and doing well is probably a review of things she has studied. Time will tell.
Please continue to lift her up in prayer as her journey takes another turn. And remember to thank Him for the recovery that has taken place.
We are still believing there will be a full recovery but realize it is only in His time.
Much love,
Frances
Ora Lee Wilson‘s dislocated arm is doing well. At this rate, she may be able to begin physical therapy next week.
Please continue to pray for my momma, Dot Smith. Today was not a good day. Pray for Daddy, my sisters, and me as we try to do what is best for her.
“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…”
~Philippians 2.10~
Please add my cousin, Cecelia Ann Welch, of Osyka to your prayer list. She was admitted to Northoaks today with kidney problems. Further test tomorrow to find out exactly what the problem is. We would apprecriate all prayers.
Thanks, Debbie Crawford
Mrs. K. Sanders continues to improve. Keep praying for her.
TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB

“In an acceptable time I have heard You,
and in the day of salvation I have helped You.”
~Isaiah 49:8a~
WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for Chief Minister Rueben Meade of Montserrat (island in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Puerto Rico).
HAUSA OF WEST AFRICA (HOW-suh). “At night, we fall asleep to the sound of witchdoctors dancing and banging their drums. In the morning, we hear the Muslim call to prayer, awakening the whole town. Join us in praying that the Spirit will move in this place and the Lord will call the Hausa to Himself.”
SOUTH ASIAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES. Can you imagine a life that revolves around washing and ironing clothes? That has been the life of millions of families all across India for centuries. These are the Dhobi people of India. The word Dhobi means “washerman.” Please pray for the Dhobi who live in Andhra Pradesh and speak Telugu. These families teach their children to do what they have done all of their lives: take care of the clothes of others. An iron is even part of a girl’s dowry when she is married to a Dhobi man. Along with their occupation in life, Hinduism is also passed down to each generation. Each family makes sure to teach their children the proper way to worship the various family gods, such as Shiva, Ganesh, etc. Would you pray that the Dhobi will come to know the true God who can once and for all eternity make them clean and spotless before Himself, unlike the clothes that they have to wash day after day? http://prayerthreads.imb.org
Heart to Heart with Holley: Beyond the Clouds
Posted: 30 Mar 2011 08:31 AM PDT
I stare at the grey-rain sky.
The clouds have rolled in this week.
I feel it in my heart too–
little puffs of fear, worry, distraction.
But then I remember…
The sun is still there, just like always.
It’s as real as ever.
It hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s the same way with my heart.
Behind those emotions…
I am loved.
I have a purpose.
God is all and all is well.
That’s as true as it has always been.
Always will be.
Even more certain than the sun.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for
Roger Pittman’s surgery scheduled for in the morning has been postponed until next Tuesday. Someone else has a greater need for surgery in the morning. Roger didn’t have any idea who that person is, but you can pray for someone having heart surgery in McComb in the morning. God knows who they are.
From Margaret Creel
A Memorial Service for William Bobby Gill will be held Sunday, April 3rd at 2 PM, in the sanctuary of the United Methodist Church in Kentwood. Friends and relatives are invited to attend. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice.
Thank-you for praying us through a terrible thunderstorm this afternoon. We rode through hail for many miles. I was able to speak to some wonderful Christian women on a topic near and dear to my heart – missions! We are safely home now.
Rev. Jeff Phillips was injured in an automobile accident in Haiti. He took the time to write to say he is better. Continue to pray for him as he has surgery Friday.
Thank you for praying for me and my family… I am back at home in LA awaiting facial surgery on Friday, April 1st, to reconstruct the broken bones in my face. The brain contusion stopped hemorrhaging shortly after the wreck… so no further concerns remain with that. And Charity has recouped from her pneumonia as well.
Thank you so much for your prayerful concern!
All for Jesus!
Please pray for me tonight as I share with a group in Lexie, Mississippi tonight. Also, pray for me as I travel. I understand the weather is going to be ugly.
Virginia McKenzie just called to say Chloe’s surgery has been delayed until Friday because Chloe has thrush. This gives us more time to pray before the surgery. I pray we all do our part in supporting this little gift from God.
“Continue earnestly in prayer,
being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”
~Colossians 4:2~
Jadon’s Story: Medicine changes and new tricks
The increase in vimpat has made my seizures worse. They are more
intense and they are waking me up at night. We are going to decrease
my vimpat and increase my banzel some more. Hopefully this will help.
So here we go again. Please pray that they decrease. On a good note
I’m saying bye bye now. I’m more vocal than ever. I’m saying dada one
minute and bye bye the next. I’m also blowing kisses. Im just too
sweet. Love ya and thanks for praying.
(Thank God for the progress Jadon has made. He’s come a long way already. Continue to pray for his family as they fight his battle with him each day.)
Mr. Joe Williams is back at home. Continue to pray for Mr. Joe and “Miss” Othelle.
Pray for Roger and Lois Pittman today as he has pre-op procedures in McComb today.
Pray for little Chloe and her family in Kentwood as she has surgery on her heart today. Chloe is only two months old. Additional surgery will be required when she is older. Today’s surgery will be at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.
Continue to pray for my family as we care for Momma at home.
Mrs. Mary Evelyn Magee McDaniel of Franklinton passed away. She had a number of relatives in Kentwood.
will you go “one day without shoes” with me?
The last two years, I have gone without shoes for one day, supporting the creators ofToms in their efforts to engage American consumers in buying more than just a pair of shoes for themselves. Will you do it with me this year? It’s easy:
See. It won’t hurt a bit. Unless you step on a sharp object. So stay alert and become aware of how much we take for granted getting to wear shoes everyday.
Check out this “one day without shoes” video from Toms. Pretty cool. ALSO – if you can, purchase a “one day without shoes” T-Shirt from Toms and they will give a child a new pair of shoes.
Much love!
