“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 – 1 Peter 1-5

Bill Kendrick is having outpatient surgery this morning.  I am still holding out hope that something can be done about his college football allegiance but it is a long shot based on his comment to yesterday’s blog entry.  By the way, Bill gave me a pass on attending his surgery this morning.  What a kind and considerate thing to do and he did not even know my situation (keep reading).

I believe I am correct in saying that Kenny Lingle had outpatient surgery yesterday.  I trust that all is well with him.

Carla Kyser was discharged from the hospital yesterday.  It is hoped now that she is home and back on her regular schedule of pain medicines that she will be somewhat “normal!”  Are you serious?  The girl has never been “normal” a day of her life!  (I am not even going to mention the fact that when I visited her early yesterday morning she slept through the entire visit.  How rude is that?  Just saying!).

Miss Willa Dean Johnson remains in the hospital.  I visited with Tommy’s wife, Kathy, early yesterday morning as Miss Willa Dean is in CCU and on a vent.  Pray for Miss Willa Dean as she is apparently battling pneumonia again.

Heard from Dave Sellers last night.  Becky continues to not feel well.  As I said previously, Becky really needs our prayer support during this difficult time.

Lisa Thompson had her test yesterday.  I do not know if the results were immediate or something that will be given at a later time.

Tim Knighten continues to receive his weekly chemo treatments and his daily radiation treatments.  Pretty amazing guy!  Not sure of the results of Peggy’s visit to the doctor.  She will eventually send me an e-mail update.

Confession time – I spent most of yesterday in the hospital with an anonymous church member having surgery.  As a  matter of fact, I am writing this shortly after 4:00AM and I am still at the hospital with the aforementioned church member.  She would not let me mention her surgery beforehand but has now agreed to it.  Who?  My wife, Lisa.  Surgery went well and she “should” be discharged today if all goes as planned.  Lesson reinforced through this ordeal – Daphne is a great nurse and Deidra is a horrible nurse!  However, Deidra knows the hospital cafeteria menu by heart and knows that today is “taco Tuesday!”  She is pretty excited!  I will give Deidra props for sending her dad a care box of goodies!  Thank you for praying for Lisa!

You cannot get this type information from any other blog.  My very reliable source tells me that there will soon be a Taco Bell and a Popeye’s Chicken in Grand Bay.  These will be located just North of the TA Truckstop.  Construction should begin in January.  (Has Pastor Jack Bailey ever provided such insights on his blog?  Exactly!).

Folks, do not shoot the messenger.  I only report.  Another one of my reliable sources shared this story with me.  My former girlfriend, Nanette Brooks Fontenot, was in Walgreens in Grand Bay late this past Saturday night.  Witnesses say that she was checking out and there were two, not one, packs of cigarettes on the counter beside her stuff and, upon seeing a fellow church member, Nanette began to declare those were not her cigarettes.  Now, I was on my way home from Chicago at the time so I obviously did not see this episode.  I will simply say this – why do you think I broke up with Nanette?  Think about it!

Coach Eric Collier is a modest guy.  I spoke to him at church this past Sunday to get his take on the OC position at Alabama.  Basically it came down to finances (Coach C wanted $1.5 and the offer was $1.1) and he was demanding the right to address the media each week.  The head coach would not agree to such a scenario so he moved on to the next candidate.  Now you know the rest of the story!

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