Thank God for all the progress Jadon has made. Thank God for parents who have been so good working with him. Thank God for all those wearing purple today as a reminder to pray for Jadon. God has pulled this family though some difficult times. They are so thankful. Keep praying.
“I have compassion on the crowd,
because they’ve already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
I don’t want to send them away hungry;
otherwise they might collapse on the way.”
~Matthew 15:32b, HCSB~
Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell is still in Ponchatoula. It is too wet in Moss Point to move in their new mobile home. Continue to remember her and Mr. John Alan in your prayers.
Mrs. Judy Liberto was in Sunday School yesterday – neck brace and all. It was so good to see her back in her class. Please continue to pray for her.
Keith Womack is also wearing a neck brace following surgery. Pray for him to heal nicely so he can continue his active live.
Mrs. Evelyn Bridges is continuing to have health issues. An injection in her back recently gave her trouble. Pray for the sweet lady as she deals with health issues.
Mrs. Pauline Strickland is doing better than she has in months. Thank God for her progress. Thank God for her family that has cared for her during this time.

Pray for the Houeye family (Charles, Bea., and Jennifer) as health issues abound. Pray for those who go into their home to help care for them.

Have a great day. Remember what really important in life!

Charles Ray Bennett called to tell me his mother, “Miss” Elizabeth, just passed way peacefully surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He said the wake would be Tuesday night at the Arcola Baptist Church with the funeral Wednesday morning. He said his mother was now with his daddy who passed away forty-nine years ago. I clearly remember that day when his military plane went down with all lost with it. “Miss” Elizabeth worked hard to raise those five children alone. Please pray for this family.
A few requests for you this afternoon:
“His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family
by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.
And this gave him great pleasure.”
~Ephesians 1:5 NLT~
The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
Psalm 118:24

Please add my great nephew Chandler to the prayer list. He’s 10 years old and having kidney failure, and in intensive care at Lady Of The Lake. Also please add Paul Wayne Little. He’s also having kidney problems, plus other issues. He’s in Lakeview. Thanks , Lloyd (Hayden)
Also, please continue to pray for Danny Horne as he tries to overcome his heart attack and secondary issues.
At our Third Thursday meeting this week, James Rimes shared that a couple of people said they had no fear of dying and were ready for death. Knowing how fragil life can be, Christians are only a breath away from Heaven. Little did any of us know that in less than six hours in a movie theater in Colorado, lives would be taken and those people would face their eternity. I pray they were ready! I pray you are too!

Hannah Kay Cash was born to Elizabeth (Hughes) and Shanne Cash this morning. Pray for this young, growing family.
I forgot to give you the next three of “15 Things God Won’t Ask”. Here they are:
4. God won’t ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed.
5. God won’t ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life.
6. God won’t ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you compromised your character to obtain that salary.
