“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)

Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 106-107

Miss Kathleen’s procedure went well.  It was longer than the doctor expected but he did what he had hoped to do.  She had three blood clots in one leg and they took care of those as best as they could.  She remains hospitalized.  I will visit with her this morning to get an update although she was awake and alert very soon after the surgery yesterday.

Gary Huhn’s heart cath revealed no blockages and all is well.  The doctor said the stress test gave a false reading.

Courtney Cavin’s dad was admitted into a hospital in Birmingham.  They have sort of started all over doing various tests.  He continues to be a very sick man.

Nanette Fontenot sent me an e-mail last night saying that their daughter, Kelli, has been admitted to the hospital again because of headaches.  This is a recurring problem for Kelli.  Pray for some relief.  (Yes, Nanette wanted to know if “we” could go visit Kelli together but I told her that I also needed to visit Miss Kathleen figuring that would settle the issue.  Said she did not mind making that visit with me too!  Wow!)

Mariam Moates sent me an e-mail saying that her husband, Jimmy, has been sick in recent days.  They are now going to do a PET scan within the next month.  Pray for Jimmy to feel better.

Katelyn Jackson Johnson is traveling home today.  Pray for her safety in travels.

We had a nice attendance for our prayer time last night.  Thank you to those who take part in this ministry.

Also had a productive meeting last night with a group of six church leaders last night regarding our student ministry.  We will be having a meeting on Tuesday, May 17, at 6:30PM for those involved/interested in our student ministry going forward.  That meeting will take place in the auditorium.

We have now had a total of two folks sign up for the “breakfast for mama” this Saturday, 5/7, from 8:00 – 9:00AM in the fellowship hall.  We need a pretty good estimate on a total by this Thursday in order to buy the proper amount of food.  Please e-mail me (tcturrentine@gmail.com) if you plan to attend.  (Stop reading and do this right now, please)

“Potluck with the pastor” takes place tomorrow immediately following the morning service.  Fish fry with the fish and drinks provided.  You are asked to bring the sides and desserts.  Carol Lucky is coordinating that part of the meal so if you have a question please contact her directly.  We hope to have a really nice number.

“Parent/child dedication” this Sunday, 5/8, in our 10:30AM service.  If you are going to participate, I need to hear from you no later than tomorrow, 5/4.

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