Tuesday Evening

Wayne McNabb‘s heart surgery went well.  He is in ICU.  Gloria thanks you for praying.

 

Donald Bryant, formerly of Amite, had 8″ of colon removed Monday.  He’s doing well following surgery.

 

George Cutrer of Osyka had back surgery.  The surgery went well, but he is having to be monitored for A-fib now.  Pray his heart settles down soon.

 

David’s brother, Jimmy Alford of Holden, will be having additional tests to help locate the location of his cancer.  Please pray for Jimmy and his family.

 

Summer Clemons Blades said the weather was getting worse.  She and Megan are in their hotel room.  Pray for them as they face the full force of category five Hurricane Irma.  I know of another family with relatives there.  Let’s pray for all of them and the thousands of people who will face this story tonight and in the coming days.

 

Many Hurricane Harvey victims are still displaced and will be for a long time.  Pray for them and those who are and will be helping them for a long time.

 

When there are difficult times in my life and the lives of others, I find great comfort and assurance in prayer.  I trust you do too.

Tuesday Addition

Summer and Meg were unable to get a flight, so they will be riding out the storm at the Marriott.  Please pray for them there, their family members here, and all the many other people in the path of Hurricane Irma.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

                                                                                                          ~Philippians 4:6-7, (NLT)~

Please continue to pray for and assist as you can with needs as a result of Hurricane Harvey.  Also, pray for those who are in the path of Hurricane Irma.

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.

Saturday

Lord, let your ear be attentive

to the prayer of this your servant

and to the prayer of your servants

who delight in revering your name.

Give your servant success today

by granting him favor

in the presence of this man.”

I was cupbearer to the king.
