“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty,

for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You.

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom,

and You are exalted as head over all.”

~1 Chronicles 29:11~

Pray for Smiley Conerly as he has heart tests and learns what he needs to do.

Pray for Jeff Tolar of Florida as he continues to have back problems.

Pray for Betty Taylor as she sees her cardiologist Friday.  Pray for her mother, Mrs. Ruby Ziggler, and family as they adjust to Mrs. Ziggler being at rehab in McComb.  They cannot stay with her as they could when she was hospitalized.

Debi and George Bales’ son, David, has seen doctors all week.  They have learned the cancer is deep but not the stage of the cancer.  David will have surgery Friday of next week with some treatments scheduled to follow. Pray for the whole family as they face this “journey” they were not planning.

Robert and Ora Lee Wilson’s great grandson had a “seizure”-type problem.  Additional tests have shown nothing for which to be concerned. Thank God for this good report.  Pray for Ora Lee as she faces surgery on her leg.

Mrs. Bonnie Strickland and Debi Bales mother, “Miss” Lucy, will both be moving to nursing homes to receive the care they need.

Wednesday Afternoon

I’m so glad I’m a senior adult and got to go to the Senior Adult Revival this week.  We were in Grangeville this morning.  That beautiful little church was backed with men standing across the back.  Once again, we had a glorious time of worship.  We were led by a talented local group, Andy Taylor, and Jacob Williams.  I’m already looking forward to next year.  I hope you will plan to attend if you missed the services today.

Lillian Russell learned she had a pre-cancerous growth that was found in time because of the procedure she had done this week.  Let’s thank God for her good report and for all the preventive health services we have available to us now.

I was asked to announce that the annual Fall Fest at Osyka will be October 5th and 6th.  On Sunday, October 6th, there will be local gospel entertainment from 1:00 – 5:00 P.M.

 

Wednesday

“…It is not by sword or by spear that the LORD saves,

Tuesday Afternoon

From your computer you can surely see my smile because of attending the Senior Adult Revival in Roseland this morning.  How wonderful it was to be with other Christians to worship God!  It is wonderful to have so many Christian friends together in one building.  I am looking forward to the service at Grangeville tomorrow.

Yesterday, the stent went well for Mr. Pat Hoosier to open a blocked duct.  Cancer was found in the pancreas.  This allows the doctors to pay attention to an area that had been undetected up to this point.  The girls are now asking for prayer for their mother who will see a doctor about scheduling surgery on her hands.  She put their daddy first, but now it is time for her to get some needed attention.

Yesterday morning, the senior adult revival at Line Creek Baptist Church was wonderful.   Music, preaching, fellowship, and food – what a great way for Christians from all over Two Rivers Association to gather together!  Tomorrow, the revival will be at Roseland.

Another association meeting was held at 1:00 Monday afternoon at  East Fork.  The WMU heard from Kay Bennett who works on our behalf in New Orleans.  Her ministry has taken on a lot of new responsibility working to help stop human trafficking.  We learned so much!  Our hearts were touched by the stories she told of people who had been helped.

Missions – Don’t forget to collect usable children’s shoes, school uniforms, jackets, and blankets for those who might need them.  Place your donations inside the main or office entrances to FBC,K.  I will make another delivery to Re-Store soon.

The Fall Food  Round-Up for the La. Baptist Children’s Home is Monday, the 16th.  Call the church if you need to know what items they need the most.

Kaye Robert’s brother, Jimmy Alford, will be at  Ochsner in the New Orleans area today to have additional tests and to set up surgery.  Pray for him and his family as they continue this journey.

Pat Hoosier will have a stent put in a blocked bile duct today.  The GI doctor is not sure if this problem is due to tumor growth or a stone.  In the meantime, Pat is very nauseated, but still smiling.  Pray for the family as they continue to rely on their faith.

Pray for Bobby Drude and his family.  He is facing heart by-pass surgery.

Hymn of the Day

September 8th was my grandmother’s birthday.  She was know to most people as Jennie Lee Wilkinson Draughon.  I was named for her (Lee) and her mother (Anna Elizabeth).  In our family, she was know as “Ganky”, because her oldest grandchild (yours truly) learned to say that before she could say Grandmaw or some other such name.  When I was growing up and she visited, we talked long after we got in my bed.  One night, I learned her favorite hymn was “Near to the Heart of God”.  Needless to say, that became one of my favorite hymns too.

Sunday

  “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;

for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,

but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

~Galatians 6:7-8~

 

Austin Rose (from his mother, Lisa)

Had a successful week of chemo and we get to go home tomorrow (Sunday) This was his last regular round!! We come back in two weeks for the first maintenance treatment. It’s hard to believe but he is so close to done.
Side effect of these particular drugs is a sunburn like affect on the palms of the hands and bottoms of the feet. Luckily not quite as painful as last time. Ice packs help and it will all be a memory soon enough. — with Austin Rose.

Two young boy, Connor and Eli, are home for a change.  Lara is still in Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, but receiving good reposts.  I’m so thankful to post good reports on all of these young people.

TeamKid will begin tonight at FBC,Kentwood.  This will replace AWANA, but is very similar.  Bring your children ages 4 – 5th grade out at 5:30.  There will be a place for every member of the family, so bring the whole family.

The Beth Moore study of Deuteronomy will begin Monday, the 16th at 6:30 P.M. in the fellowship hall.

The Senior Adult Revival will be Monday – Wednesday.  The first day, we will meet at Line Creek.  Lunch will be provided each day.

The associational WMU meeting will follow the revival tomorrow.  It will be at East Fork at 1:00.  I hope many of you will be up to making both of these important events tomorrow.

You have one more week to get food to your local Baptist church in our area for the Fall Food Round-Up for the La. Baptist Children’s Home.  Remember the 16th.  I previously posted a list of their needs, so look back on The Prayer Link to see what they need the most.

Remember, to continue to bring children’s shoes and school uniforms to the church.  I will organize your deliveries and take them to Re-Store which in located between Cooper’s Bakery and Boston Restaurant in Amite.  We will be collecting blankets and jackets next, if you would like to get an early start on sorting through things at home.

If you would like to being anything for the family that had a fire and lost everything last week, please refer to the list I posted earlier or a list at the church at the office entrance.
