On the top of my prayer list this morning is Tim Knighten.  He and Peggy are in Houston where Tim spent yesterday being tested, scanned, et cetera.  Today, he meets with the doctor to discuss the results of those tests and scans.  He and Peggy will then head home.  Pray for a great report and for traveling mercies.

Second on my prayer list this morning is Jason Husband and his surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning.  Pray that all goes well.

Keep praying for Chuck Rockwell as he remains in the hospital.

Larry Crawley is obviously still battling his malignancy.  Keep Larry in your prayers.

Buddy Brewer also continues his fight against a malignancy.  He is basically following the doctor’s recommendations so just keep praying for him.

I continue to pray for Keith Barrett daily too.  Join me in this prayer.

Please join me in praying for our friends, John & Kristie Potts, in Michigan.  Kristie is battling cancer and is taking a natural route to rid her body of this disease.  She has some scans coming up.  She is a lady of very strong faith.  Great couple.

I did not talk to Glenn Perkins yesterday but he and Margy obviously need our continued prayer support.

Keep praying for Decker and Sherry in Montgomery.

Leslee Herrington told me of a friend whose husband passed away very unexpectedly at the age of thirty-three.  Pray for the family.

Also, keep praying for Eric’s brother-in-law as he battles a brain tumor.

Bro. Abel has plans to do make up soccer games this afternoon.  That did not go so well yesterday so not sure how today will work out.

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