TUESDAY, 8/12/08
I keep forgetting to share two things that I have known for several days. First, Estuardo Morales (Pastor Max’s son-in-law) is not going to need surgery at this time. This is the opinion of Dr. Tony Matheu. Please keep praying for Estuardo and his family.
Second, I spoke to Pastor Terry Rainey about Josh Caldwell’s treatments. Josh continues to do well and has not had any adverse side effects thus far. Keep praying for Josh too!
I was wrong – imagine that! Danny & Liz Cole’s granddaughter had pre-op stuff done yesterday and will actually have surgery today at UAB. Pray for her.
Mary Brown’s sister suffered a major heart attack yesterday which did extensive damage to her heart muscle. She certainly needs our prayers during this time.
Shirley Bosarge was to receive a new stent in her bladder yesterday and then was expecting to go home from the hospital today. She is very intent on going home even though she still has a long way to go in her recovery. Pray for Shirley.
As of this writing, we have eleven folks from the Friendship family who have signed up for our summer ’09 GRACE mission trips. Ten of those have signed up to be on Bro. Jerry’s trip which means my trip should be very easy to lead! I am simply reminding folks from the Friendship family to sign up during August and to pay the necessary non-refundable deposit. Again, the airlines have changed the rules and we have to reserve seats early and have to be more definite in our numbers.
Speaking of signing up, this Sunday, 8/17, is the final day to sign up for the AWANA program which is scheduled to begin in September. This is for all 4K through 5th graders.
I am having a difficult time being interested in the taped Olympic events but have enjoyed watching the live events. Personally, I miss the “curling” events from the Winter games! If they would only show the women’s soccer games live then my life would seem more complete!
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
