a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed,

correctly teaching the word of truth.”

 Remember this:

and cover over a multitude of sins.

~James 5:20~

(As I prepared my Sunday School lesson for today, I found a note at the end that encouraged us to invited people to Sunday School next Sunday to learn of the resurrection and its impact on our future.  That certainly is  good idea.  This morning, hears a verse to give us more encouragement to do so.)

Keith Sumeral was involved in an accident on Highway 16, Amite Tuesday afternoon.  He is okay.  In fact, everyone who was involved will be okay.  Let’s thank God for watching over the occupants of both vehicles.

Bobby Lawson – Please continue to pray for him and his family.

Darren Fontz (son of Diane Strickland) has begun chemo.  Please pray for him and for his family.

Pray for John Dyer (not the local one, but Jana Creel’s brother-in-law) as they work to determine this problem.  So far, they have eliminated the possibility of Parkinson’s.

Martha Pevey Drago will be having surgery.  She wrote this last night.

Tomorrow is surgery day! One step closer to getting this over with!!! Surgery is scheduled for 8:30am. Please pray that all goes well and please pray for my doctors and all the medical staff who will be working on me!

Wednesday Afternoon

Dan Turner (Written by his mother)

Good morning! I have an update on Dan, and would like for you to include him in your prayers. You may also post this info on The Prayer Link, requesting from our family that everyone remember him in prayer. He is having an issue with spasticity in his left arm and leg. This means that the muscles are contracting to a most uncomfortable level, and invariably impedes the usage of both that arm and leg. God is already putting the pieces of this puzzle together as we speak in this way: A “new” doctor, whose specialty is Spasticity is moving his practice to MMRC as we speak! Dan is right now waiting on a phone call that will make available to him, a surgically implanted pump to deliver medication to the areas of spasticity. Up to this time, Botox injections have been administered at approximately every six weeks with varying results. Oral Meds for the condition are not as effective and
cause some unpleasant side affects. On top of that things are sometimes better, sometimes worse. This pump will deliver just the right amount of medication to just the right areas for a period of six months before needing attention for a refill. The thing is, that there will be a trial day to test this medication to see what level of affect, if any, the medication delivered through the spine, has on Dan’s muscle spasticity. He will go into the hospital for an overnight stay, the med injected, and then careful monitoring and testing throughout the day to be very exact at all junctures to see what the results are for relief. If the medication shows to positively affect the muscles, then a surgery date will be set for the implant. Dan is excited about this possibility of being able to have some more of his normal life back! Please join us in praying for this, yet, another opportunity for
Dan’s further healing. God is still moving doctors to Jackson, whom have had no plans to come to UMMC until now (now does that give us hope?) We are SEEING GOD MOVE, literally! …nurses, medications, medical equipment and HOPE for Dan’s cause! I have already told Dan that a mighty army of prayer warriors are speaking his name “Dan Turner”, to God many times a day in their personal prayer times, and also in group prayer time! Dan is SO thankful and asks that all of you please continue! Thank you!

Jadon’s Journey (Written by his mom)
Ortho doesn’t think it’s a fracture. She thinks that the tendon is tight and because Jadon is so active it is rubbing against the bone by his heel which is the area that hurts him to touch. The rubbing is causing inflammation which is causing him to not be able to walk. They put him in a cast for 2 reasons. 1 to let his foot rest so it can heal. 2 to help stretch the tendon. They casted his foot at a 90 degree angle to stretch it really well. He will wear the cast for 2 weeks and then we will go back to see what needs to be done next. He is so happy he can walk on it. I just pray it doesn’t set him back too much. He was doing so well!! The ortho seems to think we will have to do adjustments every time he has a growth spurt.
