Today’s Bible reading – Job 16:1-19:29 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 Psalm 40:1-10 Proverbs 22:1

Miss Mary Jackson remains in the hospital.  Hopefully, she will be discharged tomorrow.  She is so ready to get out of the hospital.

Miss Doris was kept in the hospital Sunday.  I was unaware of that but will visit her this morning.  She was taken by ambulance from our second morning service on Sunday (my preaching can have that effect on folks!).

Brian Amonett is in a regular hospital room.  I was able to meet him yesterday when I visited.  He is thankful for the prayer support.  He was set to begin hyperbaric wound care yesterday.

Miss Johnson (Tommy’s mother) was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  She was a happy camper!

Eddie Whitmore will receive a chemo treatment today which will last until Thursday.  Obviously, this is one that comes home with him. Pray that all goes well.

Caroline Ford’s daughter, Cynthia, has been having severe pain.  She was admitted to the hospital on Saturday but discharged on Sunday.  She is scheduled to see a doctor on Thursday.

The family of Miss Exie Woods will meet with the funeral directors this morning to make arrangements for her celebration of life service.  I suspect the family of Russell Johnson will do the same if they did not do so yesterday.  I will post the arrangements for both of these once they are completed.

Prayer meeting tonight from 5:00 – 7:00PM in the auditorium.  Obviously, we did not meet last week due to the revival service and it seems like it has been an eternity to me since we last met.  Please enter/exit the West side door.  Folks, we cannot ease up on our praying.  Come and go or come and stay but do pray!

Thank you to the folks who attended the GROW visitation meeting last night.  GROW begins this coming Monday night, 8/31, at 6:30PM.  I appreciate Bro. Jerry Hovel leading that meeting.

Maria Wainwright got me three more chickens as I was down to three.  The three I had are Baptists!  (I am beginning to believe that all chickens are Baptist)  How do I know they are Baptists?  Totally not accepting the new three – will not let them eat, mad because they are trying to roost in “their” spot, et cetera.

Tried to watch some of the NFL game last night.  Totally not interested as the game was boring unless you enjoy seeing the officials throw a penalty flag on every play.  So ready for the college games to begin.

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