A CALL FOR SPECIAL PRAYER

It is 9:30PM on Wednesday night, 1/22.  Betty Creech just called to say that it “appears” they will be transferring Nikki Burwell to a Jackson, MS hospital possibly as early as tonight.  She apparently has a hole in her heart that is beyond what they are able to handle medically here.  Pray for Nikki and her family.

WEDNESDAY, 1/22/14

Today’s Bible reading – Genesis 42:18-43:34, Matthew 13:47-14:12, Psalm 18:16-36, Proverbs 4:7-10

A huge “thank you” to Emily Lundy, Joan Hart and Kayla Hatcher!  Why?  Those three made it possible for Carolyn Blaylock to get moved from the hospital to the convalescent home of Kent & Carolyn’s choice yesterday.  She was going to be moved elsewhere but these ladies moved into action on very short notice – what a tremendous blessing to Kent, Carolyn & family.

Karla & Harper were discharged from the hospital yesterday too.  When I visited late morning they were just sitting and eagerly waiting to get home.  Dale leaves Thursday night for a ministry opportunity.  (BTW, Kayla did not just send super burgers from Sam’s, she also sent some chicken nuggets for Harper!)

Tyler Williams was discharged yesterday as well.  If you thought Dale & Karla were eager to leave the hospital, triple that eagerness and you have Tyler!  He had cabin fever!  Claire was his nurse again.  Each time I see her at the hospital see is pushing a cart, machine or something.  As I was entering Tyler’s room yesterday, she opened the door pushing a cart which hit my leg and caused me great pain.  (Or something like that – LOL!)  Pray for Tyler’s continued recovery.

Nikki Burwell had emergency open heart surgery early, early yesterday morning.  They did a double by pass.  There were some complications and the surgery took a long time.  Pray for Nikki during her recovery.

Miss Ica Pearl Walley was in the hospital yesterday too.  She was thinking that she would be discharged in the afternoon but I do not know if that happened.  Pray for Miss Ica.

The funeral service for Edna’s brother takes place this morning in Laurel, MS.  Lisa and I will be attending and then will visit with my sweet cousin, Rachel, and her family plus will see Lisa’s Aunt Virginia.

I had two appointments last night.  Each appointment involved a young man sharing with me what God was doing in his life and how the revival services impacted him in a positive way.  Wow – what a blessing to this pastor!  Pray that God will use these young men to help flame the fires of revival among the Friendship family.

Regular schedule today/tonight.  Bro. Jerry Hovel will be preaching in the 10:00AM & 7:00PM services.  I hope many members of the Friendship family will attend.

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