“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

This entry will be short and sweet as Lisa and I are sitting in the Mobile airport about to board a Delta flight to Atlanta.

Cecil Guidry was discharged from the hospital late yesterday morning.  She is doing good and has such a positive attitude.  Keep praying!

Carol Lucky was admitted to the hospital.  Keep praying for Carol.

Max Peacock continues to recover at home.  It is a slowly but surely process for Max.  He too has a great outlook.  Pray for Max.

I posted the obit for Junior Bosarge’s mother.  No morning service on our campus tomorrow.  The visitation with the Bosarge family takes place from 11:00AM until the noon service.  If you can help with the feeding of the family, contact Tina Wilkinson.

We had seven folks take the COVID test yesterday in preparation of going to Guatemala.  Lisa and I both tested negative and are heading out today.  The others all are scheduled to depart tomorrow.  Delta actually took the flight to Guatemala City off the board for tomorrow which affected three of our team members.  The Lord blessed and they are all back on schedule just in a different way.  Pray for the others to get negative test results today and for all of us to have safe travels.  Pray that Delta accepts our test results and will let us board today in Atlanta.  If they do not, pray for the gate agent.  I am not responsible for Lisa’s actions!

Remember, we are “Caring for Castlen!”  We need items brought to the church either tomorrow night or Sunday.

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