Steve Morris met with the nephrologist and was told that if his malignancy is contained to the kidneys then his case is curable.  Said they will not know about the effectiveness of the left kidney until the right kidney is removed.  He is in kidney failure.  Keep praying as Steve will see the oncologist on Monday.

Edna Pearl updated me on Terry’s situation.  The trach they tried to use on Tuesday proved to be defective.  So, they had to revert to placing the vent tube in his mouth.  Plans are to get a new trach today.  Pray that happens and will be effective.

Talked to Miss Kittie via the phone.  They drained a lot of fluid off of one lung yesterday.  She said that she is breathing better now.  Keep praying for Miss Kittie.  She has gone back to Montgomery with her son, Jeff.

Heard from Jeanette.  She is not totally free of the walker but is now going between it and her cane.  Sonny saw his doctor and was told that he does not need surgery at this point – answer to prayer.  Keep praying for Sonny & Jeanette.

Tim Knighten heard from MDA and has an appointment on Tuesday, May 10.  He and Peggy “could” be there for up to five days.  Pray for Tim.

Elaine Brown is taking a chemotherapy pill and radiation simultaneously.  Pray for her to do well with this regiment.

Keep praying for Myrtle.

Keep praying for Rodney Whitehurst.

Keep praying for Donnie Felps.

Bro. Abel called me yesterday to share that his son, Gideon, is now on the Pensacola Christian College varsity soccer team.  Congratulations to Gideon!  Bro. Abel was super excited.  I think his excitement is more about getting to go to Buccee’s each time Gideon has a home game.  LOL!

I “think” that covers it all.  Pray for these folks and those mentioned in the earlier entry.

I pray that you will have a great rest of your Thursday with Jesus.

I begin with sad news.  Elizabeth Westbrook sent me a message fairly quickly after last night’s service to share that her paternal Uncle, Brian McMann, unexpectedly passed from this life.  He and his family live in Grand Bay.  Brian was forty nine years old.  Pray for his wife, children, parents, and the rest of the family.  Obviously, arrangements pending.

Carol Lucky spent a couple of days in the hospital but was discharged yesterday.  Pray for Carol to continue to do well.

Buddy Brewer had to have three stents placed in one leg while the other leg had naturally bypassed the blockage.  All went well and Buddy came home – praise the Lord!

Steve Morris meets with a nephrologist today.  Pray for that to be a productive and positive meeting.

My cousin, Brad, called last night while I was with the McMann family.  He told Lisa that he will be having surgery but I do not know the details at this point.

My sister, Melissa, has had two tests and everything came back normal.  We are thankful.

I need to get updates from some others and will then post a second entry later today.

Let me make a major point of clarification regarding Lisa and Priester’s Pecans.  Lisa does not buy pecans there!  Preister’s has a gift shop and they sell the “cutest” things!  You have to pass through the “cutest” things in order to get to the restrooms (how convenient is that?).  Lisa’s money is spent on “cute” stuff and not pecans!

As I figured, the no mask mandate on planes put in place by the Judge in Florida is most likely not going to last long.  I will go from a happy camper to a not so happy camper!  Just the facts!

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