Today’s Bible reading: Genesis 46-47
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)
Jason Taylor is having another procedure today in hopes of crushing that kidney “oyster shell” that has been giving him such problems. Pray they can get it this time.
Neal West’s father, Mr. Albert West, had surgery last Friday. I was unaware that he had remained hospitalized until yesterday when I received a call that he had passed from this life. Obviously, the arrangements are incomplete at this time. Pray for the West family.
Mary Hall’s father, Mr. Travis McDonald, passed from this life yesterday morning. Per his request, there will be a private family time only. Pray for Mary and her family during these days.
Miss Carmen Reyer is in the hospital. She has been there since Monday.
Miss Dollie Trout remains in the hospital. They will do more tests today.
Tommy Johnson’s mother also remains hospitalized. She is battling pneumonia again but was feeling better yesterday.
Tena Hovel’s mother, Mrs. Alford, is still in the hospital. She was undergoing a test when I visited yesterday but was not going to be discharged.
Miss Rebecca Perkins was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.
Holly Lybarger had another chemo treatment yesterday.
Richard Glass is set to have heart surgery at some point tomorrow.
Jimmy Tagert’s step-father, Mr. Hickman, will have a heart cath today and they are thinking surgery is going to be required due to a problem with a valve.
Learned yesterday that the former principal of Grand Bay High School, Mr. Albert Stewart, passed away and was buried this past Tuesday. Mr. Stewart was very, very kind to me and I will never forget that fact. Actually, he is the one who allowed Lisa to graduate early so we could get married. Lisa has not cared for him since! Do you blame her?
Good services yesterday. Really nice attendance in our morning service. Ditto for our 7:30PM Bible study. Our 6:30PM group ended up with a good number when all was said and done.
Our first GRACE Ministries team of 2016 leaves this morning. Pray for them in their travels. Pastor Bob Harvey is leading this team and Evangelist Michael Mason is serving as team pastor.
The rumor mill is building! Heard again last night that soccer is coming to the Friendship family! Soon! I am going to fight it just based on principle but it is gaining steam. Folks, my reputation will be absolutely ruined!
So, this past Tuesday night Rusty Suthoff is eating supper on my dime while complaining about the lateness of that morning’s blog entry! He is working the midnight shift this week and had checked the blog at 5:30AM. I did not post until closer to 6:00AM that day. Really? My question is, “shouldn’t Rusty be working instead of on being on the internet?” Dave Sellers, you may want to check on that! Just saying!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus!
Dr. Rex – got you covered. Thanks!
