Pastor's Blog

Xavier Blackwell did great through his surgery.  The doctors corrected everything and said that he would not need any additional surgery.  His dad, Adam, flies back to Germany tomorrow morning.  Xavier will be in the hospital for a few days.

I learned in our church service tonight that Miss Exie Woods has been admitted to a local hospital.  I called the hospital and confirmed that she is a patient.  I do not know the details but do ask that you pray for her.

Korie Fontenot will have surgery tomorrow morning at 11:00AM.  They are going to insert a plate in the bottom of her eye, work on some nerves and tissue, et cetera.  I think her mother, Nanette, may be a little off her rocker as she said they are going in through the roof of Korie’s mouth to correct her eye problems.  (Nanette is not the sharpest crayon in the box which is a part of the reason we did not get married back in the day!)  Nanette wants me to meet her at the hospital at 7:00AM – what’s up with that?

Terry Lucky had foot surgery this week (not sure when) and he will be in the hospital for a few days as they suspect he has an infection.

Barbara Kelley’s niece is in a local hospital too and is a very sick young lady.

Erik Blackwell came back from Birmingham with me yesterday and drove from Evergreen to the house.  I got home around 6:00PM which allowed me to attend the 7:00PM service.  Bro. Robbie did a nice job of sharing the Word.  Honestly, I think some folks stayed away because they did not think the Pastor (position, not person) was going to be there.  It may have been the Spring Break effect but I really feel it was some of both.  I continue to pray for all of us to become more spiritually mature.

The Hatcher girls i.e. Betty Clair and Kayla did not enjoy last night’s service?  Why?  Because I sat with them and they could not text or do Facebook!  LOL!  (They sure are sweethearts though!)

The Penguins have a pulse!  Can they rebound?  Time will tell.

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

Xavier Blackwell’s surgery is set for this morning.  I am not sure of the beginning time nor of the duration.  I do know that Xavier has to be at the hospital at 4:45AM.  Pray for Xavier, his family, and the surgical team.

Korie Fontenot has an appointment with an eye doctor today.  Pray as the doctors will possibly decide today whether or not see has to have surgery.

I was able to attend the funeral service for Sandy Hodges’ sister yesterday afternoon.  It was a service where Jesus was exalted.  Pray for the Johnson family.

My sister-in-law’s mother has been placed under hospice care.  Pray for her and the family.

Bro. Robbie will be preaching in the 10:00AM and 7:00PM services today/tonight.

We received a really nice rain yesterday afternoon – praise the Lord!  Our garden enjoyed it immensely!

The Red Wings are ever so close to being eliminated in the NHL playoffs as they are now down 3 – 1 to Nashville.  That wailing you hear from the North is coming from Tim and Ben Mast!

This is how gossip gets started – I thought I heard that my niece, Jamie,  & her partner in crime, Mandy,  had been smoking!  However, turns out they got smoked!  (Girls, winners do not take breaks from training by going on cruises!)

It is 1:00AM as I finish this entry.  I am about to leave for Birmingham.  Pray for traveling mercies for me as I plan on being back in time for the 8:00PM Bible study.

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