“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)

Today’s Bible reading:  Leviticus 14 – 15

The visitation with the Barbara Tillman family takes place today from noon until the 2:00PM service time.  Visitation and service at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.  Pray for Grant and the family.

By the way, the celebration of life service for Miss Jo Evans was just that exactly.  Pastor David Perry did an excellent job!

Speaking of those who have passed, Gilbert Reynolds passed from this life.  The visitation with the family will be from 5:00 – 8:00PM tonight at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.  The service will take place tomorrow at noon from First Baptist Grand Bay.  Pray for the family.

Visited Miss Carmen Reyer yesterday and she seemed to be doing well.  We talked about Bro. Louis’ passing and how her life has changed.  She was in good spirits.  Everyone else that I visited in the convalescent home seemed to be doing well also with the exception of Miss Barbara Nevin.  She was not feeling well.

Visited Miss Jackie Goff yesterday too.  In my opinion (and her words), she was doing very well.  Nice visit.

Marisa sent me an update on Carla’s visit with the doctor.  She was dehydrated and the doctor sent her home with some liquids.  Some of the test results came back good while other tests are pending.  Carla is real fatigued.  Carla needs our continued prayer support!

Mariam sent me an update on Jimmy Moates’ condition.  Yesterday, he began a series of twenty radiation treatments.  The doctor plans on introducing him to a new drug in March.  Pray for Jimmy.

Mariam also told me that Richard Glass is getting a little stronger daily.

Pastor Alvin Tucker is better.  He has agreed to be treated.  He remains hospitalized but is making improvement.

Received word from Guatemala yesterday that a gentleman, Rolando Echeverria, was diagnosed with liver cancer on Monday.  He is actively involved in the first church started by GRACE Ministries (seminary campus) and is also involved in the seminary’s Saturday program.  Pray for Rolando.

We had ten folks show up for our prayer time last night.  I so appreciate those who take the time to come and pray.  We are meeting from 5:00 – 6:00PM on Tuesdays.

This is an APB!  The compact disc of Diane Enriquez playing the keyboard has disappeared.  It is basically what we use each Tuesday night during our prayer time.  Does anyone know anything about this disappearance?  If so, please let me know.  At this point in time, we are willing to not prosecute if it is safely returned!

Our TNBA got off to a good start last night.  One of our guys was injured (major gash on his left arm) during the first of the three full court games.  He did not make a big deal about it but when the others saw it after the third full court game they decided to not keep playing.  Eddie A even offered to carry him to the ER but he decided to just go home.  You ask, “who?”  I reply “Hippa!”  Folks, the TNBA is for men only!

Regular schedule this morning and tonight.  Lasagna, peach cobbler and ice cream for the 7:30PM Bible study.

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