Talked to Tim & Peggy Knighten yesterday.  Tim has heard from M.D. Anderson and is waiting for them to set an appointment there for Tim.  Keep praying!

Steve Morris sent me a message that he will meet with an oncologist on Monday, April 25.  Pray for wisdom for the doctor along with Steve & Virginia.

Spoke to Jeanette Bates.  She is doing well and hopes to get rid of her walker this Wednesday.  Pray that will become a reality.

Miss Kittie Camp will have fluid drawn from her lung(s?) on Monday, 4/18.  Pray that all will go well.  I am in hopes that Miss Kittie will be able to join us for one of tomorrow’s services.

Larry Whitehurst told me yesterday that he is improving daily.  He plans to be in one of the services tomorrow.  Keep praying.

Larry & Judy’s son, Rodney, receiving his first two radiation treatments this week.  I was wrong (imagine that!) about his schedule.  He will receive a treatment every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday for the next five weeks.  Pray for all to go well.

Edna Pearl just called to tell me that they have been on the proverbial roller coaster with Terry Brinkman.  He has now undergone another surgery.  He has a few issues and they are searching for answers.  Pray for Terry, the medical folks and Terry’s family during this time.

Brad Turrentine is one of my first cousins.  He just learned that he has two masses – one behind each kidney.  The doctor suspects a malignancy.  Brad contacted me on Thursday asking us to pray for him.  Please join me in praying for Brad.  He is a strong believer in Jesus and a great guy!

Just called my sister, Melissa.  She has passed seven kidney stones this week and still has stones in her kidneys.  The doctor has seen something on her liver and is concerned.  She will have a test(s) next week.  Please join me in praying for Melissa.

Our Easter Saturday was a huge success!  We had just under five hundred folks in attendance!  The CAB was filled!  Eggs were everywhere.  Thanks for Bro. Dylan and all who helped in any way.

Soccer seems to be going well today.  Soccer and well in the same sentence – oxymoron?  (Asking for a friend)

Worship services tomorrow at 6:00AM (Bro. Jerry Hovel preaching); 8:00AM (Bro. Abel Garcia preaching) and 10:30AM (not much in the way of a preacher).  No other services or classes tomorrow!

We will be continuing the sign up for our crawfish/shrimp boil which will take place on Sunday, May 8, beginning at 5:00PM.

Lisa and I had a good trip to Hartselle.  We left Thursday morning and got home last night.  It was good spending time with Mama and other family members.  Even went to a political rally – Tracie Turrentine for Superintendent of Education!  We are grateful to the Lord for a good, safe trip.  By the way, Lisa basically slept all the way home.  Once at home, I had to pick her up out of the car and carry her to bed – my aching back!  Just saying!

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