Pastor's Blog

Wow, life can change without notice!  This morning I visited with Miss MaryJackson and she was doing great.  She was in a regular room and expecting to be discharged within a day or two.  I had not gotten back to Grand Bay good when I received word that she will receive a pacemaker this afternoon.  Not sure what brought all of that about but do ask you to join me in praying!

However, the bigger surprise came when the doctor came to talk to Cecil & Joey following Warren “Blow Joe” Guidry’s heart cath.  He has multiple blockages, was admitted to the hospital and will have open heart surgery in the morning.  His only symptoms have been shortness of breath over the past couple of months.  Wow!  So, pray for Blow Joe, Cecil & the family.

Unknown to Blow & Cecil and Sammy & Myrtle Bowden, their family had planned a surprise fiftieth wedding anniversary for them.  It was to take place tomorrow night in our fellowship hall.  However, that celebration has now been postponed until a later date.  Please pass the word to anyone who you think may have had plans to attend.  As you know, we only have thirteen readers of this blog so we need to get the word to everyone else.  )BTW, Sammy & Myrtle were married on November 19, 1966 and Warren & Cecil were married on December 10, 1966.)

I had planned to drive to Birmingham tomorrow morning  in order to pray with David McElwee before his open heart surgery.  I am flexible and will now be staying in Mobile for Blow Joe’s surgery.  Sandra, I plan to see David at some point this weekend.  Praying for you guys!
