Sunday Update

Bobbie Magee just called to say the doctors were able to settle “Miss”” Theople’s gall bladder down and allow her to get some much needed sleep.  That allowed them not to do the surgery last night.  She’s at St. Tammany in Covington.  Bobbie was unsure of when the surgery might be done.  Please continue to pray for “Miss” Theople.

Monday

Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous;

you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

~Psalm 5:12~

 

 

Pray for Wayne McNabb.  He will be readmitted to North Oaks Tuesday for by-pass surgery.

 

Miss Fay Shoemaker will have her aeorta repaired at Ochsner on the 21st.  Pray for her as she prepares for the surgery.

 

Ricky Mapes, son of Andy and Betty Taylor, is having some testing on his heart in McComb.  Pray for him and for his family.

 

Donna Fay Miller has been having a-fib issues for a while.  She had to go to the hospital in Baton Rouge yesterday morning.  I haven’t been able to get an update yet.

 

Betty Fussell is in Ochsner again.  Please pray for her, her family, her friends, and her medical staff.

 

Please continue to remember the victims of Hurricane Harvey.  Do your part.

Saturday Addition

Remember, President Trump declared tomorrow to be a national day of prayer.

It is a good feeling to be shopping for Operation Christmas Child in Hammond and run across another person from FBC,Kentwood shopping for OCC.  This has happened to us twice this year!

Unique baptism at FBC, Canton, TX where my uncle served as minister of music a long time ago.  This is one service that I think we all would have loved to have been a part of a couple weeks ago.

Sunday

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—

a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,

just as it is written:

“The righteous will live by faith.”

~Romans 1:17~

 

Bobby Forbes is better and in a regular room.  He will probably be ready to return to his home in Russelltown by Tuesday.  Continue to pray for him and his family.

Jeffrey Brister will have a complete shoulder replacement Tuesday.  This is another step in recovery from his motorcycle accident.

Today the Phillip Harrells celebrated their 76th anniversary.  He said they had company off and on during the day.  I thankful to God for the way He scheduled their guests so the company did not tire them out.

 

Read the Bible – II Chronicles 28-31 & Psalm 78

 

The work done at The Lighthouse today looks good.  I hope many of you get to stick your head in tomorrow so you can see the improvement that was made today.

 

Don’t forget to bring you $1.00 calculators tomorrow.  If you forget them, bring them later.  This coming week, we will be buying colorful bandanas .  They can be turned in on the 20th.  Those working with Operation Christmas Child will appreciate your participation.  More than that, the children who receive a shoebox will be super thrilled.

Friday Evening

I have so much to share this afternoon, so I will jump right in.

Mrs. Ruby Dillon had a good day today.  I’m thankful for that!

Darin Fontz was recently honored as an exceptional coach.  He is not able to coach this year because of his health.  We all know football coaches love this time of year.  Pray for Darin as he misses this football season and continues to battle cancer.

Bobby Forbes‘ surgery was more extensive than hoped for.  He was in ICU when David talked with Janie the last time.  Pray for both of them as he recovers from surgery and gets ready for test results to become available.

Mr. I.W. Simmons had surgery that went well.  He will get test results next Thursday.  Pray for him and his family as they await the report.

Rev. Jeff Mizell of Line Creek is not doing as well as he hoped for when he had surgery.  Weeks of resting his voice have not given the hoped for results.  Keep praying.

Debbie Wilkinson, wife of Lee, has been receiving treatment at M.D. Anderson.  Her doctor is now moving to Plan C which should be started in September.  Debbie has a very positive outlook and a strong faith.  Pray for her as she goes to the third option, which is experimental.

Mrs. Mildred Birch will need to return to her cardiologist because of “abnormal” results of a recent test.  Pray for her and for her doctor as they determine what needs to be  done now.

I was young when he and “Miss” Juanita with their sons, Chester, Rodney, and Little John, move in next door to our house.  Neither my parents nor the Pritchetts ever moved.  I think of them as my neighbors even thought I got married and moved out of my parents’ home fifty years ago.

Estelle received faithful care from her family for a long time.  Please pray for them because they will be so lost without her.  She is well today in heaven.

 

That’s all for tonight.
