As I walked into the house for our college/young professionals Bible study last night, I was met with the news that my uncle, Franklin “Punk” Turrentine, had passed away yesterday afternoon of an apparent heart attack.  Uncle Punk lived in Collinsville, Oklahoma.  Please pray for his wife, Faye, their three girls and their families, and my dad and the other two surviving brothers.  We are thinking the funeral service will take place on Saturday. 

We learned during our morning service yesterday that Dennis Smith had passed away.  Dennis is Edwin William’s uncle-in-law.  So please pray for Miss Margaret and this family during this time too.  That service is set for tomorrow at 2:00PM. 

I visited with Martha Patrick earlier this morning and her condition is seemingly no better.   The bleeding test showed nothing out of the ordinary so the doctors are convinced her blood loss is due to coumadin.  She now has a kidney infection and gout in one of her feet.  She is in good spirits in spite of this being her ninth day in the hospital.  Pray for her. 

I heard through the grapevine that Ben & Diane Vickers’ daughter, Jennifer, is giving birth to their second grandchild today.  Diane has gone to Jackson, MS to be with Jennifer, Nathan, & Noah.  (I am not sure if Ben went or not)  Pray for a safe birth of this baby.

Lord willing, Cameron Watson & I will attend the Faith Academy versus Cottage Hill Academy volleyball match this afternoon.  Jessica & Jamie Hall play for Faith and Erica Stringfellow plays for Cottage Hill.  All three were in our senior high Bible study last night.  So, I will be cheering for Erica, Jamie, & Jessica to do well but will remain neutral otherwise.  (I probably will mainly be praying for patience as I put up with Cameron!) 

I read this morning where firemen in Lansing, MI had to use a forklift to remove a man weighing nine hundred pounds from the second story of his house because he had to go to the hospital.  He is only thirty-three years old and has a genetic condition that causes continual feelings of hunger.  According to his brother, he has not left the house since 2003 and they literally had to cut a hole in the wall to remove him this time.   To me, this is a sad story.  I hope the doctors can help this young man in some way. 

I pray that you will have a good Thursday with Jesus.
