FRIDAY, 6/3/16
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)
Today’s Bible reading – Proverbs 1-3
Sharon Jardee is scheduled to have surgery today. She has some heart issues so there is a higher than normal risk for her being put to sleep. However, without the surgery then she is looking at almost certain paralysis. Pray for Sharon as she goes through this surgery.
Sharon’s sister, Ruby Gulley, will have a procedure done this morning that will hopefully help fight the infection in her amputated leg. If not, more amputation of that leg will be required. Pray for this to stop the infection.
Coley Johnson’s father, Vic, will have a heart cath today.
The Frontlines Mobile team is traveling to Washington, D.C. today and tonight. Pray for all of them but especially for Dylan & Elizabeth as they will arrive late tonight. This will be spiritual warfare in a major way!
Becky Sellers had to go to the doctor’s office yesterday to get fluids because she was dehydrated. If that does not help by today, they will possibly admit her to the hospital. This chemo has really had some tough side effects on Becky.
Becky’s uncle, Charles Suthoff, remains in the hospital. He seemed to be doing well and told me yesterday that they are looking at getting him into a rehab facility on a short term basis.
Mary Lee Owens was sleeping when I visited yesterday so I do not have an update on her situation.
Jimmy Moates’ scan showed no new cancer but did show some activity around the rim of the existing tumor which had increased in size. He will begin radiation again next week.
Rick Bradley’s aunt, Sue Mills, has been in a medically induced coma. They took those medicines away from her a couple of days ago but she has still not awakened. Pray for her.
Carla Kyser’s latest scans showed no change. They are giving her a new medicine to try and get her blood pressure up. If that works, they will try to give her a chemo treatment next week.
The joint ministry opportunity with Jonny Gaston went well yesterday morning. Thanks to Jonny and my wife, Lisa, for their help. Planting seeds and expressing thanks in a tangible way.
Thirteen members of Bro. Johnny’s mission team did not get rebooked on flights yesterday. They are now set to arrive in Guatemala late tonight. Pray that will be the case.
Our two Summer interns, Karoline & Anna, arrived safe and sound yesterday. Many thanks to Kirk Lightfield and Lazaro Suruy for providing their transportation from the GC airport to GRACE mountain.
What a tragedy concerning the soldiers from Ft Hood yesterday and for the Blue Angels pilot. We need to pray for those families.
If the weather folks are correct, we should see some rain beginning as early as tonight and continuing off and on through Monday. My garden needs the rain but not strong winds. God knows and I trust Him!
I watched most of the NBA game last night. Still believe that when all is said and done the Cavs will be the champions. Again, I hope I am wrong! (What was up with Curry & Thompson last night – Phillip Turner & Rusty Suthoff can “almost” shoot as good as they did last night! Note that I said almost!)
The garden and yard are calling my name. Will be leaving in a bit to be with Sharon during her surgery. I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
