The person who has been on my mind the most since yesterday late morning is Miss Cristy Leytham. Received news that she has been diagnosed with cancer in her esophagus and upper stomach. On the surface, it does not look favorable. However, it did not look favorable for the Israelites when they faced the Red Sea or for David when he faced Goliath. So, we know God is able!
Kevin Sprinkle’s brother, Archie, has leukemia and is in a Birmingham hospital. He is receiving chemotherapy and will undergo a bone marrow transplant once a matching donor is found.
Andrea Timberlake’s father is in a local hospital. I do not know all of the details but will find out this morning in a visit.
Ed Whitehurst continues to make improvement. Larry & his mother had a good visit with him yesterday. Still has a long ways to go but he has come a long ways since last Thursday too.
Edna Glover’s brother is in a Hattiesburg, MS hospital.
Bob Henley is at home and continues to decline physically.
David McElwee remains hospitalized in Birmingham. Sandra will send me an update in a day or two I am sure.
So, our prayers are needed big time in these situations and others too. Pray without ceasing.
Our young adult Bible study groups get an A+ for their mission work last night. The sorted and packed medicines last night for the February 2014 trips. Outstanding job! Some of them did not leave the house until almost 11:00PM and they worked up to that hour. It was a last minute request and I appreciate their great attitudes and work!
We have a member of the Friendship family with a financial need. A love offering will be received this Sunday, 12/15, during the morning service. This is an anonymous situation. Pray and give as the Lord leads.
Pray for the American pastor who is imprisoned in Iran. Read the comment on yesterday’s entry for more information.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
