“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)

Mac McGriff’s procedure on his heart went well on Friday.  Praise the Lord!  He was to spend one night in the hospital so I am assuming he was discharged yesterday.

Jeanette Bates messaged me yesterday to share that Sonny’s case is now going to be considered by a team of specialists who will then chart a plan of action.  So, it is not known at the present which direction they will recommend.  Pray for wisdom on their behalf.  Pray for Sonny.

Larry Whitehurst messaged me Friday to let me know that he had gotten good news while in Florida.  There was space between the left optic nerve and the tumor which indicates the tumor has decreased in size – hallelujah!  Larry’s words were “this has given us much hope!”  Praise the Lord and keep praying!

Lisa and I were able to spend time with dad Friday afternoon and yesterday morning.  He has made progress.  Lord willing, I will see him again this Friday, 8/30, and Saturday, 8/31.  Thank you for your prayers.

Regular schedule today – morning and evening.

Tonight’s service will feature the ordination of Grant Tillman as a deacon.  The ordained men will meet at 4:00PM in the auditorium.

Bro. Abel will hold at meeting in the auditorium today beginning at 5:00PM for all persons interested in helping with our student ministry.

Coach Collier and the Bobcats won their game on Friday night.  Congratulations!

Bobby & the boys remain hot.  Problem is that Les Hacker’s Braves are even hotter!  The good news is that the Nationals have a three game lead in the wild card race.  Pastor Wes Bates’ Cubbies are one and a half game behind the Cards in the NL Central but lead the race for the second wild card spot.  The Yankees and Dodgers have split the first two games of their series.  Jansen actually saved a game yesterday – imagine that!

Brad & Daphne replaced the modem in our house yesterday while we were away.  They also connected us to You Tube television.  There is a definite difference in the quality of the streaming picture versus Direct TV.  However, when all things are considered I am good with it.  I appreciate Brad & Daphne handling this for us and it is good to have access to the internet again.

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