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

Happy birthday to my great niece, Joslyn, and my great nephew, Jayden.  They are ten years old today, Wednesday, 10/23.

I had written Tuesday morning that I probably would not post an entry on Wednesday morning, 10/23.  However, I am actually posting this on Tuesday night, 10/22, as several things have happened today that need our immediate prayer support and I will not be available early tomorrow.

First, John Milton Ladnier was hospitalized on Monday night after having some discomfort in his chest.  Medical folks initial thought it was no big problem – wrong!  A heart cath on Tuesday afternoon revealed multiple blockages and the doctors are preparing to do open heart surgery consisting of five bypasses.  This could happen on Wednesday, 10/23, or possibly be delayed until Thursday, 10/24. Please join me in praying for John, Teresa, Brooke, Johnny Five and the family.

Second, John Milton’s sister, Myrtle Bowden, was told by the oncologist that she needs to begin chemotherapy treatments very soon.  Not sure of all of the details but do know that we need to support Myrtle with our prayers.

Third, Sonny Bates continues to receive a radiation treatment each week day.  Keep praying for him.

Fourth, my dad will be having surgery on Thursday afternoon, 10/24.  His bladder has simply stopped working and they are doing something called a TURP procedure.  You would have to ask Daphne or some other medical professional what all of that means.  I do know that they drained eight hundred and twenty ccs from his bladder late yesterday afternoon.

Regular schedule on our campus Wednesday.

As I write this entry, the Astros have an early 2 – 1 lead in the first game.  Come on Bobby & the boys!

I pray that you will have a great Tuesday night and Wednesday with Jesus.  Church, pray without ceasing!
