THURSDAY, 6/16/11

Millie Spiller’s sister, Opal Scull, is not doing well physically.  Over the past several months, she has been up and down but she seems pretty low now according to Bro. Jerry.

Phil Morgan’s mother, Valerie Morgan, is back in the  hospital.  If memory serves me correctly, this is her third time within the past six weeks to be hospitalized.

One of Raymond Wilkinson’s brothers is in need of a heart cath.  It appears that could take place tomorrow.

My dad’s youngest brother, Henry Turrentine, passed away shortly before noon yesterday.  Lisa called me with the news as we were driving back from El Salvador.  Honestly, I got a really tough headache (very uncommon for me) afterwards and was literally sick.  Sleep was almost non-existent to me last night as my mind raced down memory lane.  Uncle Henry was a very simple man who loved his family and the outdoors.  He was an avid hunter and fisherman.  He has lived between my parents and his mother’s house all of my life.  He was very faithful to visit his mother every day when I was growing up and staying with her at night.  I can see him squatted down in Dwight Breedlove’s yard , smoking a cigarette, and hearing his wife, Peggy, step out on the front porch hollering, “Henry, supper is ready!”  Henry said he was a born again believer.  If so, that means he heard the Lord call “supper is ready” yesterday and he became absent from the body and immediately present with the Lord.

The funeral service will take place this Friday morning.  Obviously, I am not going to be there.  I hate it.  My dad only has one sibling remaining.  Pray for Aunt Peggy, sons Michael & Danny, my dad, Uncle Will and the family.  Thanks!

Things certainly got better for me as I got back from El Salvador to find Deidra at the mission house.  She & Soy decided to surprise me by having her show up.  Nice!  (Soy still wanted to sleep in the room with me last night but I said no way!)

It really got better when I heard from Daphne last night as they had just gotten a call from the doctor in Jackson, MS saying Emmy’s latest count (blood was drawn this past Monday) had gone down – praise the Lord!  (I just shouted a hallelujah!)  Another test will take place in two weeks and we are trusting the One who created Emmy!  Thank you for praying!

The Faith Baptist team left a few minutes ago and our first GRACE team of the summer is on the way.  Pray for both groups as they travel today.

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus!
