“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: Numbers 33-34
Carla Kyser was not able to receive her chemo treatment yesterday due to low blood pressure. She spent most of the day in the emergency room and was admitted to the hospital last night. She appreciates so very much all of the support given to her by the members of the Friendship family and others. The request is that there be no visitors at this time. I know that you will understand, will not be offended and will fervently pray for Carla. Carla is a sick young lady and just needs time to get past this latest hurdle. She is in hopes that her stay in the hospital will be very short. I am telling you that her attitude last night after having spent the day in the ER waiting room was nothing short of amazing! What a sweetheart! (Do not tell her that I said that!)
Visited with Ruby Gulley yesterday morning. I can pretty much guarantee you that Ruby has no recollection of my visit. The pain medicines do a number on Ruby! She seemed to be doing well.
Visited with Miss Jimmie Hall too. She is very grateful for the prayer support. Keep praying.
Visited with Linda Green’s sister, Shirley. She looks like she has been in a major fight as her face is bruised because of her fall. She too is thankful for the prayer support.
Jimmy Moates has four more radiation treatments. The tumor is shrinking. The doctor is going to leave him on the current medication because his gene profile did not match the newer drug. The doctor is confident the present drug will work. Keep praying for Jimmy.
Charles Suthoff saw the doctor yesterday. He was immediately diagnosed with AFib. He will see a cardiologist tomorrow. Pray for my friend, Charles!
Continue to pray for Holly Lybarger too as she begins radiation treatments.
Regular schedule this morning and evening. The 7:30PM Bible study menu is poppy seed chicken, green beans, macaroni & cheese, rolls, blueberry pie, cherry pie and drinks. I am telling you that it is worth coming to this Bible study tonight just for the meal. Lisa does an incredible job with this particular meal.
Time change this Sunday, 3/13, which means you will need to set your time pieces forward one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. Basically, we will lose one hour of sleep! While Dr. Jack Bailey may look forward to this change in the time, I just wish they would leave it alone. I am totally good with the time we are on right now – works in Guatemala. Just saying!
Cool story – AJ & Alaina Westendorp are a young couple from Michigan. They are presently living in Guatemala City and were a part of our January 28 – February 4, 2016 GRACE Ministries team led by Pastor Bob Harvey. They just went back to the village where the team built the houses and stayed with one of the families for a few days. Slept in hammocks outside and just enjoyed life with the Guatemalans. If interested, I will forward you the e-mail they sent along with five pictures. Just let me know.
As far as I know, Tico returned home to Guatemala safely yesterday. It was good seeing him.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
