TUESDAY, 8/17/10
Larry Blackwell did fine through his surgery yesterday morning and was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Pray for him to have a quick recovery.
Leslie Williams e-mailed to say that her maternal uncle, Doyce Richardson, passed away Sunday afternoon. He had been diagnosed with terminal cancer but his passing was much sooner than anticipated. A dear friend of Leslie’s mother, Dora Graham, also passed Sunday. Pray for Leslie’s mother as she travels to Texas for these funeral services and deals with these losses.
I have spoken to a few of Dan Van Vels friends via the phone but haven’t been able to speak to his wife, Gloria, yet. Pray for Gloria and her family.
I was called to the hospital last night just before our visitation began. I cannot share any of the details but ask that you join me in praying for this unspoken need.
Willie Johnson finished the sheetrock on the bannister yesterday and John Curl/Kenny Lingle will paint it tonight. Then, it will be ready for Chris Howell to begin laying the carpet. Folks, we are getting there!
Bobby Henley is smiling today as the Nationals signed the first pick of the MLB draft, Bryce Harper, to a contract last night. He got $9.9 million for five years including a $6.25 million signing bonus. He is projected to be in the minors for a couple of years which means he will be under Bobby’s watchful eye!
I told you the Dodgers were toast. Last night, they were leading the Braves 3 – 1 going into the bottom of the ninth and got beat 4 – 3 after having been blasted 13 – 1 the night before after having blown a 9 – 2 lead against the Phillies over the weekend. Steve Morris, stop smiling – your Cards have dropped back to second place behind the Reds!
What really matters in the sports world is that the college football season begins September 2 and Bama plays their first game on 9/4.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
