“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
Ginger Welch is Julie McGath’s sister. She suffered a heart attack this past Saturday night and has been unresponsive ever since that time. She is in CCU and on a ventilator. The doctors plan to move her to another floor tomorrow and then remove the ventilator. Obviously, it is a bleak situation. Pray for Ginger, her husband, Dan, and their family.
Daphne & I visited with Mark & Courtney yesterday. Courtney has really declined physically over the past couple of days. However, she is on minimal pain medications and seems to be resting well. Courtney, Mark and the family certainly need our continued prayer support.
Larry Whitehurst called me early last night to tell me that there had been some going back and forth concerning his surgery date. Amazingly, his surgery is now scheduled for next Wednesday, 1/17, in Jacksonville, Floria. That is much earlier than the original plan. Larry is good with it but he has a lot of stuff medical wise to get done in Mobile before he goes back to Jacksonville. Pray for Larry.
I spoke to Edd Gillespie via the phone late last night. He has meetings, consultations, tests, et cetera at M.D. Anderson over the next four days. Pray for wisdom on behalf of the doctors.
I watched the game last night and basically gave up on Alabama in the second quarter. Just felt like Georgia had it going and it was not meant to be for Alabama. Lisa basically chewed me out (cannot repeat what she said)! However, she did not change my opinion. I was fairly confident that the kicker was going to miss the field goal at the end of regulation too. (Coach Saban totally missed by not offering Daniel Carlson a scholarship. Why can Alabama not get a reliable place kicker?). Needless to say that I was wrong and I am very happy to have been wrong. Loved Tua’s post game remarks as he kept referring to Jesus – sweet! I only personally know four Georgia fans and they are all classy folks.
I am now sad as the college football season has ended. Hurry up September!
I am also happy to report that I have not watched any of the NFL games this season. Not going to either. As a matter of fact, Lisa I were in a restaurant the other day that had a television showing a Saints game. I asked her to sit facing the television so I would not be tempted to watch the game. I value the American flag over football and it is not even close.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
