Andy Hamil is certainly near the top of our prayer list as he continues to decline physically.  However, his mental awareness remains sharp.  So, his decision to not have company or to talk on the phone is his exclusively and we should all be respectful of his decision(s).  Honestly, his voice has gotten so physically weak that talking on the phone is difficult for him.  Could that get better?  Sure.  Will it?  Only God knows but it does not seem likely based on the current situation.  Let me say this, when Andy will not allow “the boys” singing to be played due to the noise factor then you know Andy does not feel well at all!  Keep praying for Andy & Betty.  Remember, per Andy’s request, no visitors/company.

Personally, I commend Clara Broadus for being such a loyal friend to Andy & Betty for years.  Thank you, Clara.

Carol Lucky is not happy about being in the hospital but knows that is where she needs to be for the time being.  Carol has such a kind and sweet spirit about her.  Keep praying for Carol & Terry!  She is faithful to pray for others and is deserving of our prayer support.  She should receive another dialysis treatment today.  Pray without ceasing!

Want to talk about a person with a positive attitude even in a less than ideal situation?  Go visit Edna Pearl Morgan!  She is making good progress in her recovery and has plans to be in our morning service this Sunday, 8/23.  Wow!  She is blessed with a great husband who is right there beside her!  Pray for Edna & Phil.

Tim Knighten’s brother, Mark, remains in ICU and needs our prayer support.  It has been a confusing week plus for Mark and his family regarding exactly what is taking place in his body.  Continued prayers appreciated.

Pastor Roy Crouch has a paternal Aunt, Lisa Crouch, who is in the hospital and is in need our prayer support.

I have a friend who has been told they have cancer in one kidney.  They meet with the doctor today to make some decisions.  Pray for wisdom on behalf of the doctors.

The donkey is being shipped out.  Still waiting to see the outcome of the surgery on Chino’s finger.  Deidra is in a cast for four weeks.  What?  You did not read any of this on this blog!  I could speculate on which one is the most stubborn – the donkey or Deidra but suffice it to say that Deidra is just like her Mama!

The story of four females.  One with a broken wrist who has done everything as ordered and now needs no PT; one with two broken ankles and the therapist is so impressed with how she is following instructions and doing so great in her rehab; one with a surgically repaired shoulder who initially had to be be reprimanded by her doctor for not following instructions; one with a fractured wrist who refused to have an x-ray because she knows more than the medical folks (or her dad or her doctor sister) but is now sporting a cast for four weeks.   Interesting the difference in people.  What is the moral of this story?  IDK!

Regular schedule on our campus this morning and evening.  Remember, 6:00PM starting time tonight.  Come join us!

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
