Today’s Bible reading – 2 Kings 6:1-7:20 Acts 15:36-16:15 Psalm 142:1-7 Proverbs 17:24-25
I was called to the hospital by Gary Walton yesterday morning as his sister was going to be removed from life support. That became a reality later in the afternoon and she passed from this life very soon thereafter. Two of her sons work with Gary installing pools and have been to our house many times over the past several years. Gary and the sons will meet with the funeral director this morning with the hopes of having a service tomorrow, 6/25, at noon from Serenity Funeral Home. Pray for the family during this difficult time.
While I was standing in the hospital hallway waiting with Gary’s family, I saw Michelle Stork and Jamie Moore Creel. Jamie told me of their house being struck by lightning on 6/9 and the extensive fire damage that it caused. Their youngest daughter had come to our VBS that day and they were very grateful she was not at home.
I also saw Anna Marie Morgan and asked about her parents, Steve & Ashley. Steve was actually in the hospital having a heart cath. I visited briefly with him afterwards and everything was ok for him.
Jerry & Gloria Whitmore contacted me via a phone message and e-mail late yesterday afternoon to tell me that Robin Corley’s doctor has given her a grim prognosis. Lord willing, I will be visiting her later today.
Rusty told me yesterday that, because Becky Sellers has not been having adverse side effects from the chemotherapy treatment, they are going to continue that course for another six treatments or so before beginning radiation.
Keep praying for Jimmy Moates. He continues to be at home.
Don Bates passed away. His daughter, Jodie, and my wife, Lisa, were best friends in high school. There will be a visitation tomorrow night, 6/25, from 6:00 – 8:00PM at Serenity Funeral Home.
I was at the hospital until almost 5:00PM yesterday which means I did not get to our prayer meeting until 5:40PM. If you came prior to that, please let me know for my records sake. I apologize for my lateness.
Speaking of being late, I have not been posting as early as normal and three of our thirteen readers have been hammering me! I apologize and will try to do better.
Regular schedule this morning and tonight. The fare for the 7:30PM Bible study will be something purchased and brought in as my wife is out of town. I am not a cook.
How did the TNBA go last night? I will just say this – I pulled out my “surprise” and the score of the first game that I participated in was 9 – 3 and only took about five minutes to complete. Evidently Johnny Five, TJ Vice, Bradley Phillips, Joey Guidry, Randall Broome, Marcus Hatcher and others got wind of what was coming as they all stayed away. I will just end it there.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
