TUESDAY, 8/16/11
Louise Morris made a significant turn for the better yesterday afternoon. I visited her yesterday morning and she was sound asleep. Judy called later to say that Louise was awake, was talking, and was moving her right side. Amazing! To God be the glory! I will see her again this morning.
Lisa & I visited Bro. Robbie late yesterday afternoon. He had a stent placed inside a stent and was doing well. He should come home today. Bro. Jerry visited him yesterday morning as I was in Mobile for a funeral service as well as hospital visitation – thanks to Bro. Jerry for covering for me.
Miss Vinnie Brewer’s brother, J.W. Nowell, was to have a surgical procedure done yesterday in Hattiesburg, MS. I will get an update today. Pray for him.
Our granddaughter, Emmy, got a favorable report from the doctor last Friday. Her count was down and the doctor wants to wait two months before checking her again. We are grateful to God for His mercies and to you for your prayer support.
Tony Hacker is still scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Belinda Skelton is scheduled for surgery on Thursday. Pray for these folks as they go through these procedures.
Carla Kyser continues to recover from her latest chemo treatment. Brenda Timberlake’s sister, Lisa, receives another chemo treatment tomorrow. Belvin McDonald is better. Pray for these folks and all others who are battling cancer.
Amy Huhn’s mother had a scan last week as she has some enlarged lymph nodes. They are awaiting the results of the scan. Pray for her.
Jim Thome of the Minnesota Twins hit his 600th major league home run last night. That puts him in an exclusive club by becoming only the eighth person to ever reach that mark. I have seen seven of the eight members of the 600 club play via television. The only member I never got to see play was Babe Ruth but Les Hacker has told me much about watching the Babe play.
Enough about baseball – I am so ready for college football that I watched a NFL preseason game last night between the Texans and the Jets. I stayed with it because Greg McElroy was playing for the Jets. (I do not care for the coach of the Jets.) Joe David Bailey is so wrong when he says the NFL is superior to the college game! Kent State versus Bama aka clash of the titans in week one – cannot wait!
Interesting read about the body found in the bank chimney in Abbeville, LA. It was determined that the body has been there since 1984. No one reported the guy missing, no one heard any cries for help, and no one ever detected an odor. Wow!
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
