Tropical storm Ida made landfall on Dauphin Island around 5:40AM this morning and is presently in Mobile Bay. For us, we got a significant amount of rain and some wind gusts but there doesn’t appear to be any major damage. I am not a “lifer” of this area but this is my first experience with such a storm this late in the hurricane season. I thank God that all seems well in regard to this weather system.
Miss Vivian was in good spirits yesterday and was scheduled for a scan in the afternoon. She has a swollen right lung that is puzzling the doctors. Teddy Ray Jackson’s mother, Jean Jackson, was in ICU but was doing better. The family seemed encouraged. Wayne Hickman, Chuck Hodges’ stepfather, is in the hospital as he continues to battle his cancer. Pray for these folks in the hospital and keep praying for Carla Kyser & Miss Joyce Bosarge in their respective situations too.
Terry Stephan is leading a team from a group of Mobile Baptist Association churches to do ministry in Guatemala this week. I am assuming they got out of Mobile okay yesterday morning. Pray for them as they minister.
I apologize for the lateness of this post but we did not have internet service during the night. Murphy’s law is in full effect in my life these days!
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
