“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 – Jeremiah 51-52
Carla Kyser met with the doctor at UAB yesterday afternoon. They had nothing new to offer her but suggested she go back to a chemo used on her several years ago or the one her doctor in Mobile has suggested. The doctor said that she did not need to be on any chemo that would lessen her quality of life i.e. make her really sick. Folks, we need to bombard heaven on Carla’s behalf. Pray, pray, pray!
Per Reb’s comment on yesterday’s entry, Holly has treatments for three more weeks and then finds out where she stands regarding her cancer. Join Reb in praying that it will all be gone.
Becky is taking a lower dosage of chemo. Bernard continues with his daily radiation treatments. Pray for this father/daughter.
Miss Maxine Rogers seemed some better to me yesterday morning (being the doctor that I am). She had been given more blood and that usually helps pick a person up. She is very grateful for the prayer support.
Randy Collins was discharged from the hospital.
Work day this Saturday, 8/27, beginning at 8:00AM. Biscuit breakast at 7:30AM. The seven members of our Buildings & Grounds team will lead this effort. We will finish before noon. All hands on deck!
The “farewell/retirement” reception for Bro. Kerry Kelley will take place this Sunday, 8/28, immediately following our evening service. Our church hostess, Hilda Gunter, will coordinate this fellowship. We need folks to bring casseroles and desserts. We want this to be a well attended fellowship which is why we are having it this Sunday instead of the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
A student fellowship was on the calendar for this Sunday evening but that event has been postponed. Josh will announce the new date when it is finalized.
Regular schedule today/tonight. Dale Bosarge will be teaching our senior high students tonight. I believe that Carl Brinkman will be sharing with our middle school students. We will split for our 7:30PM Bible study. Cold cut subs with chips and pies are on the menu for that Bible study.
Larry, Curly and Moe had a meeting last night to work on the soccer teams. They give me zero information and then expect me to put it on the blog. So here is what I have from them regarding the soccer league up to this point – ! A concerned parent has informed me that the league play begins on Saturday, 9/10, and ends on Saturday, 10/29.
We got a pretty good rain early yesterday afternoon. I came home and started mowing a little after 5:00PM. The ground was pretty saturated. The lightning drove me inside just before 7:00PM and then the rains came again. I will have to find out from Bobby Broome how much rain fell here on the little hill behind the skating rink. Wait, you just mowed your grass last Friday. Sure did. Will mow it again this Friday, Lord willing. By the way, I had the same amount of help from Soy & Rusty yesterday as I did last Friday – just saying!
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
