Spoke to Larry Whitehurst via the phone around 4:45PM.  The doctor told him that his tumor is basically the size of an egg and must come out quickly.  Surgery is set for Thursday, May 12, which is the earliest the doctor and surgical room are available.  The doctor also said these tumors are not usually malignant but he obviously cannot make any promises.  So, pray as Larry waits until 5/12 for his surgery.

My younger brother, Freddie, lives in St. Clair County.  One of his neighbors was killed early this morning as a storm roared through their community.  A tree fell on the mobile home and landed on the lady as she was sleeping.  The folks in the northern part of Alabama have been hammered all day with violent weather.  We need to pray for them.

Bernard Suthoff just called (1:00PM) to say that his father-in-law, Mr. Calvin Gillespie, passed away.  Bernard & Pattie will be heading to the Dothan, AL this afternoon so pray for safety in their travels.

Chuck Rockwell did not come home from the hospital yesterday but is in hopes that today will be the day.

Larry Whitehurst had his appointment with the doctor changed from this morning (8:30) to this afternoon (2:30PM).

Visited with Chuck Rockwell yesterday morning.  He was doing “good” but had not gotten up for a walk at that point.  He was supposed to come home but I did not hear for certain that he was discharged.

Larry Whitehurst sees the doctor today for a consultation.  Carla Kyser has another scan (I think tomorrow).  Kellie Fontenot Stork is scheduled to deliver her baby tomorrow at noon.  Randy Tillman has a tumor in one of his lungs.  He sees the doctor for a biopsy next week.  Belvin McDonald continues to receive treatments too.  I saw Ross Hatcher last night and Betty Clair is supposed to see the specialist again today.  Pray for all of these folks!

Our monthly “potluck with the pastor” takes place today.  Thanks to Betty Creech for setting up the tables and chairs.  Thanks to Cecil Guidry for cooking the hams.  I hope many of you will join us for a great time of food and fellowship.  Bible study begins at 10:00AM followed by the meal.  Remember, Lisa & I are providing the meat & drinks while you are asked to bring the trimmings and desserts.

Thank God for the rain yesterday!  We are “supposed” to get more today.  God is good!  Our sod and garden loved yesterday’s rain and I loved not having to water them!

Wow!  Kobe basically played on one leg last night and led the Lakers to an important victory.  Reminded me of Willis Reed back in the day!  If Bro. Chris would get me good seats, I would go to NO for tomorrow night’s game.  Go Lakers!

We are on a normal schedule today/tonight.  The missions committee members are asked to meet with me at 6:00PM.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
