James and Susan are home from her surgery in Covington at 11:15. The surgery went well. Pray for them in the coming days as Susan heals and she works to regain the use of her wrist.
Bounus: I read that we should not think of ourselves as “stuck at home, but safe at home” during this pandemic.
Please be in prayer for Susan Rimes today. She will be in Covington at 6 A.M. this morning for wrist surgery to repair broken bones in her wrist. She should be home before noon. Susan will be thankful when the surgery takes away her pain. She looks forward to occupational therapy beginning next week to her her return to being able to use her hand. Please pray for Susan as she goes through surgery and therapy to regain use of her right hand.
Scott Tolleson, my cousin who has lived in Shreveport the past few years, passed away yesterday at the age of 64. He has suffered for many years with Huntington’s Disease. Today, he is rejoicing in heaven with family members, some of whom are like Scott and now healed of HD. Scott was the greatest soul winner I have ever known! He loved God and family with all his heart!

Let’s pray for churches as they meet and stream on-line today. Pray for pastors as they preach and congregations as thy listen to God’s Word being spoken. I hope today’s services make a difference in many lives. Pray also for our country. I can’t see how our present situation can end in a way pleasing to God, but I surely hope it does.
