Phillip, Claire and Collins Turner welcomed Jack into this world on Monday afternoon.  Mother and son are doing well and came home yesterday afternoon.  Jack checked into this world weighing seven pounds and four ounces and is twenty one inches long.  Congratulations to this fine, young family!

Tim Knighten heard from his doctor at M.D. Anderson yesterday.  If I understand it correctly, there was no new growth in the tumor from March until May.  Therefore, if they will wait until August to do another scan and, if there is no new growth elsewhere, they will do surgery leaving Tim’s kidney in place.  So, keep praying for Tim and for there to be no new growth.

Amy Huhn’s father, Bobby Morrison, continues to need our prayers.  I visited with him Monday afternoon but he was asleep so I did not awaken him.  I am not sure if he remains in the hospital but do ask that you pray.

Miss Martez Richerson has been struggling physically more and more as the weeks go by.  She is at home receiving good care from Norman and the daughters.  Pray for Martez!

Marie Brooks’ sister, Libby, is at home under hospice care.  They has stopped all treatments and she is not eating or drinking.  Pray for Libby’s family including Marie and their brother, Lavon.

Myrtle was able to go vote yesterday and is doing some better.  Keep praying.

I have not heard from Steve Morris as to the results of his visit with the doctor.  What I do know is that Steve continues to need our prayers.

This afternoon should mark the end of Rodney Whitehurst’s radiation treatments this go around and tomorrow will do the same for Elaine Brown.  Keep praying for Rodney & Elaine in their respective situations.

Keep praying for Donnie Felps, Shawn Felps, Lynn Cosentino and Greta Stewart.  Pray for Marisa too as she is helping in all of these situations.

Obviously, we are all heartbroken over the situation involving the shooting at the school in Texas.  Pray for those families!

Regular schedule on our campus this morning and evening.

We need some additional workers in the nursery during Sunday School each Sunday.  My wife, Lisa, is going to take a rotation this Sunday.

The rain sounded so good throughout the night!  Praise the Lord!  I am happy for the farmers and the folks raising a garden.

On a personal note – I am very happy for my niece, Tracie Turrentine, as yesterday she was elected as Superintendent of Education for Morgan County.  I believe Tracie is going to do well in this position.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.  Enjoy the rain and stay safe!
