TUESDAY, 4/10

Merwyn Gunter was admitted to a local hospital Sunday morning and was having a nuclear stress test done today.  Ronnie Owens remains hospitalized as they try to determine which course of action will best help him.  Phyllis Bush also remains in a local hospital and is apparently battling a serious infection.  So, please pray for these folks.  I am encouraged by their strong trust in the Lord in spite of difficult circumstances.

My dad, my sister, and I met with the oncologist yesterday afternoon to discuss dad’s situation.  The lymphoma is in his bone marrow which necessitates chemotherapy treatments which will begin next Monday, 4/16.  Dad will have five consecutive days of treatments followed by three weeks rest.  He will do this for four to eight months. 

My dad is 71 years old and the doctor is confident that, with proper treatment, this cancer will not be the ultimate cause of his death as it is a slow progressing type.  So, we are thankful to God, to Dr. Lobo, and to the many of you who are praying with us about his situation.  We are counting our blessings and simply ask that you continue to pray for, and with, my dad.  Our prayer is that God would be glorified in all of our lives through this experience.

The ladies of the Friendship family are asked to remember the wedding shower scheduled for this Sunday, 4/15.  It is for Marisa Skipper, bride-elect of Curtis Whitehurst, and will take place in the fellowship hall from 2:00 – 3:30PM.
