MONDAY, 12/5/11
The Lord blessed us with a good day in our services yesterday. I appreciate the job done by our children’s choir in last night’s service. We had a strong attendance in all of our services yesterday. I was able to take part in our Spanish service for the first time in three weeks and that was a blessing too. We praise God for His goodness to us!
I am not sure if Richard Glass was discharged from the hospital yesterday. However, I do know that he will be having heart surgery in the near future. The doctors feel that he needs to get some strength before undergoing surgery. Pray for him.
Maxine Dupont was in our first service yesterday morning. She is so faithful!
It is my understanding that Miss Helen Ruth Brinkman is having some physical problems too. I believe she has gone to her son’s home in Florida for the time being. Pray for Helen Ruth.
Xavier Blackwell is set to have surgery in Birmingham on December 14. Pray that all will go well in the preparations and that his father, Adam, can get home from Germany where he is stationed with the military.
Teddy Ray Jackson’s father, Mr. Andrew Jackson, is hospitalized with pneumonia. Pray for him.
Of course, we want to keep praying for those battling cancer.
Bro. Jerry (knee) & Miss Gloria Whitmore (hip) are both in need of surgery. Pray that the doctors can fast track the surgery for Miss Gloria and that she will have a successful recovery so Bro. Jerry can have a knee replacement. They do not want to both be down at the same time.
This is the last day for Laurie & Melissa Vargas to be with us as they fly back to Guatemala tomorrow. Kim French is graciously taking some pictures of them today – what a sweetheart (wink, wink!). Lisa and I have been invited to take them to have supper with Bro. Johnny & Miss Judy Tucker late this afternoon.
Kristy tells me the first day of Upward games went well. Praise the Lord! Keep praying for this ministry.
Kim French & Jan Cummings (AU), Bill Kendrick (Ole Miss), and Chris & Courtney Cavin (USM) were all so very excited over Bama’s inclusion in the BCS championship game on 1/9/12. Their respective “clubs” will be meeting in the coming days to discuss creative ways to support the Tide in their bid for another national championship.
Me, I knew Bama was in all along. Joe David Bailey is my source and he assured me from the get go that it was a no brainer! Rusty Suthoff (LSU) is worried! He even skipped church last night and one can only assume he was simply too worried to be out in public right before the announcement!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
