Pattie Suthoff remains in the hospital but is thinking that she “could” be discharged today. Now, that is her “thinking” and not the doctor talking. She sounds pretty rough but says she is much better and Bernard concurs.
Lois Kirschenman got a favorable report from her test yesterday. The tumor has decreased in size, there are no new “hot” spots and she does not need any more chemo. Praise the Lord!
Vera Bosarge asked us to pray for a young girl who is a friend of Vera’s niece. This young girl has a brain tumor and will have surgery next week.
Pastor Eric Everhart from Michigan posted last night that he is still experiencing pain from his surgery but is looking forward to getting home today. It is a little before 6:00AM and that team is leaving the mission house in a few minutes headed to the airport in Guatemala City. Pray the Pastor Eric will have an uneventful trip home and will mend nicely. (By the way, a team from Lakeside Baptist in Birmingham leaves for Guatemala and the mission house today so pray for them too. The will be led by Pastor Breck Ladd)
We are going to observe the ordinance of baptism this Sunday evening as a part of our evening worship service. All baptismal candidates should meet in the office at 5:30PM, bring a change of clothes, and a towel.
How did my meeting go with the guy from the state office? Wow, he was “hammering” me pretty good until I simply said “Jack Bailey!” He looked at me in disbelief and asked if I knew Pastor Jack. The “Pastor Jack Bailey” who is very well known withing the state office? When I answered in the affirmative he simply said that we were doing “great” and I could have any state office I desired! Mama always said it was not “what” you know but “who” you know. I am now a believer! Thanks Pastor Jack!
Grouper season opened April 1 and Tony Hacker “failed” to tell me before they went fishing last Saturday. That is okay as they caught no grouper! That should be a huge lesson to Tony and Larry Crawley!
Brad, Daphne, Deidra, Titus, and I began planting a garden yesterday afternoon. Soy? Did the “county worker” thing! He did want to know when we could begin to eat stuff from the garden. Can you say Rusty Suthoff?
Nanette Fontenot contacted me yesterday to remind me that we did not used to just date but that we almost got married! She wanted me to clarify that for all thirteen of our readers. (What difference does it make?)
Gotta go. Mowed grass until midnight last night but did not finish. Lisa says I have to finish that task and then buy groceries. Charles has already called wanting to know if I am going to mow his yard today. Eddie sent me an e-mail saying his grass in OB looks ragged. Soy wants me to wash his vehicle. Does anyone have any Calgon?
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus!
