“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)

Miss Ruth Whitehurst, Larry’s mother, passed from this life early yesterday morning.  The visitation with the family will take place today, 1/16, beginning at 2:00PM and lasting until the 4:00PM service time.  Visitation and service at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.  The committal service will take place near Starkville, MS tomorrow.  Pray for Larry, Judy and the family during this time.

Rileigh Glass will have surgery in Birmingham today.  The surgery is expected to last four to six hours.  Pray for all to go well.

Raymond Wilkinson’s mother did well through her surgical procedure yesterday afternoon.  It is possible that she will be discharged from the hospital today.  Pray for Miss Brenda.

Lois Adkinson has been in the hospital for a couple of days.  She is a very private person and really was in hopes of being discharged before anyone found out she was in the hospital.  I visited with her yesterday afternoon and she hopes to be discharged today.

Pastor Mack Morris called me yesterday afternoon to share some details of his recent health issues/hospital stay with me.  God did some miracles in his life and he is blessed.  He is at home now but will be down for some time as he recovers.  Pray for Dr. Mack and his family.

Wow, the LSU football team got hit hard yesterday when seven juniors declared from the NFL draft.  Combine that with the loss of their seniors and Coach Brady and it could make for some tough sledding next season.  Time will tell.

The lows for Grand Bay are forecast to be 36, 28 & 31 Sunday, Monday & Tuesday nights.  High on Tuesday calls for 49.  Yes, yes, yes!  Folks, it is Winter!

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