Saturday

 

Pray for the local guys in the National Guard who are headed to Afghanistan again.  Included in that number are Dawson and Chris (Dawson’s nephew) Primes.  They go to serve because of the love they have for those here in the States.  Pray for this group on a regular basis.

From Jeanne B. Tate

Please pray for a two year old girl, Laney Wilson.  She was born with a rare
brain disorder.  One of the problems is that is causes her sodium levels to
rise.  That is happening right now.  She is in the ICU in McComb, Ms.  If it
gets too high she can have seizures and at the worst a coma.  They have to
bring it down slowly or she could have seizures for going down too fast.
Her family would appreciate your prayers.  Thank you for your prayers.  May
the Lord be glorified.

From Frances Gay

Jim (Walley) is having surgery Monday at 7 a m (in Baton Rouge).  Pray that he has a good outcome and also pray for the Drs and caregivers. . . He will be in hospital for 3-4 days.

Jesse Dean‘s surgery went well.  He is home and recovering as expected.  Pray he heals well and the surgery was successful.

Local ministry opportunity: Shirts and pants for men at Kentwood Manor

There is a need for clean, usable clothing for men.  If you have some men’s shirts and pants to share, please drop them off under the stairwell when you enter the office/fellowship hall building (where you buzz to have the door opened).  Most of the men wear small – medium sizes.     Thanks!

I hope you have your reservations.  If not, ask someone who can help you.

From Ashley Raborn

Please be in prayer for Sammy Ott, husband of Tammy McGehee Ott. He will have surgery in Jackson, MS on Thursday to remove his spleen. This surgery will help his platelet count stay elevated. We are praying this will be a success to help his leukemia go into remission. Thank you.

Read the Bible in 90 Days – Day 28 

Read through the end of II Kings.  (I realized we have read more than 1/4 of the Bible is less than a month.  This plan has worked so well for me.  When you get deep in one section of Scriptures, you don’t turn to another book of the Bible and pick up where you left off there.)

Thursday (for Wednesday)

The bad weather got one of my routers.  It took a while to get it figured out.  I’ll briefly do what I had planned for Wednesday and them get back with you for today’s TPL.

 

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;

with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.”

Pray for Mrs. Catherine Yarborough.  She is dealing with some pain issues.  Pray she can do this without having to have surgery.

I saw Jill Brister Tuesday.  She had a case of cabin fever, but is feeling good.  Thank God for her progress so far.

Day 27 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days – Read through II Kings 15:26.

The severe weather went through Jason’s area again yesterday.  They got rain, hail, and strong winds (82 mph), but the tornado passed right by him before touching down and doing lots of damage.  Pray with me thanking God for all the people spared yesterday as the bad weather went through and for the needs of those who were touched by the tornadoes.

Mrs. Susie Wales is still with Chris and Kathy.  She has had a bad case of bronchitis and is still undergoing tests.

Dan Turner is going home from rehab on February 9th.  He will still need care 24 hours a day and continued rehab.  Pray for him as he strives to improve and for his family as they are there to help him.  Thank God for the progress Dan has made so far.

Tuesday Afternoon

Prayers are requested for Mark Konzelman. He will be undergoing a second surgery in the morning due to a injury to his hand.
