Visited Miss Exie Woods yesterday afternoon.  She obviously continues to not be able to communicate but does seem to be aware of her surroundings.  Her family is lovingly waiting beside her.

Miss Mary Jackson remains in the hospital battling cellulitis.  I will visit with her today to get an update.

Miss Johnson, Tommy’s mother, also remains in the hospital trying to clear her lung of the pneumonia and to recover from her fall.

Eddie Whitmore will receive another treatment tomorrow.  This will be second one of this new type of chemo.

Carla Kyser is waiting on the neurosurgeon to schedule an appointment.  Pray that this will happen rather quickly as she continues to have back pain.

Becky Sellers was her usual positive self yesterday.

The Lord blessed us with a good day in our services yesterday.  We saw two folks follow Jesus in believers’ baptism.  The Spirit was good.  The attendance was strong.  Pastor Alex did a nice job last night of sharing about the work of PTL in India.  I thank God for another good day.

The college football season is almost upon us.  Looking forward to it and looking forward to the cooler temperatures that come with it!

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