I have decided that the absolute best time for me to post this week is 1:00AM each morning! Actually, it is basically the only time that I am turning my computer on each day. The good news is that each morning a new post is awaiting when you check it!
I left early yesterday morning and went to the hospital in Mobile for Clara Broadus’ surgery. The surgery probably lasted a little longer than they anticipated but I believe the doctors (she had two working on her) were satisfied with the results. I will get an update at some point today. I did not hear from Bro. Robbie’s surgery but assume all went well there too.
I spoke to Bro. Johnny Tucker via the phone yesterday afternoon and found out that he is having surgery this morning. Pray for him as his being put to sleep can always be a risky procedure because of his heart condition. He should spend one night in the hospital.
The service last night was blessed. It didn’t begin until 9:00PM and lasted until 11:30PM but we saw God do some neat things. We observed the Lord’s Supper and that was a solemn time of remembrance. I can see God doing some things within the lives of our students so please pray that tomorrow will be a great day spiritually.
Unfortunately, we had to send one camper home tonight. This is the second consecutive year that we have had to send Korie Fontenot home. We are going to have to think seriously before allowing her to come next year. Perhaps rules are made to be broken but we have our limits! (Of course the fact that her softball team left this morning for a tournament in Oklahoma City, OK probably factored into her being “sent” home too)
I am not a huge Tiger Woods fan but I will him his props. I read last night where he is having surgery that ends his golf season so that pretty much means that he won the U.S. Open on one leg. He is one mentally tough individual.
Well, I missed extending a happy birthday to Beth DeYoung and Amanda O’Bannon this past Tuesday, 6/17. I could offer excuses but suffice to say that I am sorry and I wish both of these ladies a belated “happy birthday!” I hope you had a great day!
Marisa Felps is celebrating a birthday today! Happy birthday Marisa!
Paula, from Casa Aleluya, and her newly adopted daughter, Emma, fly to the States tomorrow. Of course Paula has had custory of Emma for years and it has taken this long to get everything in order. Pray for these two as they begin a new life away from Casa.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
