THURSDAY, 8/6/26
Happy birthday to my mother-in-law, Ann Clark. How old? Yes! I hope that Ann will have a great day. She is truly a sweetheart and, in my opinion, the best mother-in-law ever. No one cooks a better dressing than her. It is the highlight of our Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Happy birthday, Ann!
We had a good day in our services yesterday. I can say with almost complete confidence that we will move the starting time for our evening services on Wednesdays to 6:00PM. Final call to be made very soon. If you attend our evening services, feel free to contact me via email to share your thoughts.
Well, things did not go as planned yesterday. Carol Lucky remains hospitalized. What happened? She did not get to dialysis until much later than planned and it has been determined that she needs some blood. Will she be discharged today? Great question. Time will tell. Keep praying.
Had a good visit with Andy & Betty Hamil yesterday. Andy has gotten weaker but his faith remains extremely strong. Betty is doing well. Pray for Andy & Betty.
We had a young lady pray to receive Jesus as her personal Savior about three Sundays ago. She has been absent since that Sunday. Found out that she sustained a broken foot which has limited her mobility. Her plan is to be present this Sunday. Pray for her, please.
Keep praying for Edna Pearl and Jeanette in their respective recoveries.
Volcano Fuego in Guatemala has calmed down. Here is the latest posting: Right now, on the evening of August 5, 2026: routine. INSIVUMEH ended the August 3-5 eruptive phase at 1:50 PM after 50 hours and put Fuego back at 4-6 weak-to-moderate explosions per hour. Two things have not gone back to normal: lahar risk in the ravines while it rains, and the closure of the Acatenango and Fuego hiking routes, which INGUAT was still keeping in force after the eruption was declared over. This is good news and we are thankful.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
