Today’s Bible reading – Deuteronomy 7:1-8:20, Luke 7:36-8:3, Psalm 69:1-18, Proverbs 12:1

Gauge & Mary Holmes’ infant son, Jack, was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon.  He is in PICU with a high sodium count, low blood sugar count, dehydration, weight loss and has been placed on oxygen.  He certainly needs our prayers as he was born on March 17.

His maternal great grandfather, Jack Love, had a heart cath yesterday morning.  It was already known that he has a valve problem.  That will be addressed surgically on April 14 & 15.  In the meanwhile, he has to be very careful.

Paul & Deanna Wetterer became grandparents for the second time yesterday afternoon as Jennifer gave birth to John Luke.  He checked in at 5 pounds 6 ounces and is 20 inches long.  All is well.  Congratulations to Jordon & Jennifer!

Eula Mae’s daugher, Diane, did well through her surgery but was in a lot of pain afterwards.  She is at home recovering.

Virginia Morris’ mother, Lupe Rivera, had hip surgery yesterday in Iowa.  She did well through the surgery but, when they went to remove her from the ventilator, she struggled.  So, they kept her on the ventilator and placed her in ICU.

Ginny Easterling is going to have a chemical stress test today to help determine why her blood pressure remains too high.

Tina Sprinkle had a good day yesterday.  She is making improvement in her recovery from surgery.

Archie Sprinkle could be moved from NICU to a regular room today.

Linda Johnson is looking to be discharged from the hospital.  I am not sure if that means going home or to a rehab center.

Art Elliott is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow afternoon – serious procedure that will put him in ICU at least overnight.

We enjoyed a good day in our services yesterday/last night.  Last night’s 6:30PM crowd was more talkative than normal which was a good thing.  (The morning crowd is always talkative!)

My niece, Jamie, and her two sons, Grayson & Jace, were here for a couple of days (Spring Break).  They left for home late yesterday afternoon.  It was good to see them even though I actually saw them very little.  Of Eddie & Sue’s daughters, Jamie is my favorite!

Got an e-mail from Sommer Brock a couple of days ago.  I thought she had forgotten about us.  As usual, she was wanting to borrow money (or something like that!)  I have been forsaken by folks like Gena Davis, Sandra McElwee and others who “claim” they are long distance readers of the blog!

My bracket shows UF, SDSU and UW winning tonight’s tourney games.  (I did not have UD or Stanford advancing this far)  Bro. Chris and Joe David Bailey have all eight of tonight’s teams winning in at least one of their brackets.

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