As I write this entry, I am about to walk over and speak to Brad & Daphne before they head to the airport in order to board a plane heading to South Korea. Long trip. Pray for their traveling mercies, please. Thank you.
The celebration of life service for Oscar’s son, Paul Petersen, takes place today at noon from the More Life UPC. Keep praying for Oscar and family.
Jimmy Tagert’s mother was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Praise the Lord!
Visited with Sarah Thornton yesterday morning and she was doing good. She has a pain block that is supposed to work for seventy two hours so she was in no pain at all. She realizes that will change but her attitude is great. Pray for her recovery.
Buford Young is in the hospital. I attempted to visit with him yesterday morning but they were doing a test. I am not sure the reason for Buford’s hospitalization but do ask that you pray for him.
Ethan Nelson’s sister, Shelby, is in a regular hospital room now. It appears she will be in the hospital for another week to two weeks and then go home to heal. After she heals some they will begin physical therapy. Pray for Shelby as she has a long road in front of her.
Rusty Suthoff’s maternal grandmother is “actively dying” per the medical professionals. Pray for the family as they wait beside her.
Debbie Kendrick’s mother remains in a convalescent facility and is not doing well physically. Debbie and her family so value the prayer support of others.
Marisa Felps has a cousin, Jana, in Michigan is not doing well physically either. She is losing weight and is now down to around eighty pounds. The doctors cannot determine the exact reason why this weight loss is taking place.
Thank you to each person who helped cook, serve, set up, clean up, et cetera for the Irma Hamilton family yesterday. You did a wonderful job. Also, thank you to each person who attended the visitation and/or service.
Men’s breakfast in the morning from 8:00 – 9:00AM in the fellowship hall. All men invited to attend.
Soccer league play tomorrow morning beginning at 8:00AM.
Bus worker’s meeting and visitation tomorrow beginning at 8:30AM.
Lord willing, our entire family will head to the happiest place on earth this afternoon. I am happy to be with family but not real happy about the place as I am not a big fan of WDW. Lisa and I will be taking care of Brad & Daphne’s three children in their absence. I am tired already! Prayers will be appreciated for our travels too.
Yes, I am leaving today and, yes, Lord willing, I will be in the pulpit this Sunday morning, 5/7. How is that possible? Can you say hologram?
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
