It has been a long time since thunder awakened me but it is 1:30AM and what a thunder & lightning show we have had for the past thirty minutes.  I figured since I was awake that I might as well post an entry. 

According to the doctor, Billy Smith did well through his surgery.  Miss Vivian had the stent placed in her esophagus and, according to her doctor, she did well too.  She was in excellent spirits before the procedure.  They are scheduled to place a feeding tube in her stomach today. 

Mark Vice went to his ENT yesterday and will have a CT scan done today before going to his doctor in New Orleans.  I saw Mark yesterday and the waverunner definitely won that fight! 

Laurie Chandler’s uncle Gene Robertson is being buried in MI (see yesterday’s comments) which is a three day process.  She and her parents will return home either Friday or Saturday. 

The funeral service for Debbie Armstrong (David & Vera Bosarge’s neighbor) will take place at noon today from the Higher Ground Baptist Church. 

Ruby Douglas Foster passed away yesterday morning.  There will be a memorial service for her from our church auditorium but I am not sure when that will be. 

Mr. Shannon Young used to attend our church before moving to the Fowl River area.  He is hospitalized too and needs our prayers. 

Mike Parker’s dad, Bobby, (Knoxville, TN) came home from the hospital as he continues to battle cancer. 

Today is a regular Wednesday for us with the morning service and evening activities.  The menu for the young adults is lasagna & salad. 

I need to meet with the deacons at 6:30PM today – important!  The deacons will most likely be making one or two important recommendations/motions to the church family during tonight’s service. 

Tony & Dawn Hacker owe their lives to me as I kept them from great danger yesterday!  Dawn is blonde but I really don’t know what Tony’s excuse is! 

I found this quote about the latest wildfire in Southern California:  “The fire was believed to have been ignited by spontaneous combustion of manure at a ranch, a Sheriff’s Department statement said. Temperatures topped 100 and humidity fell to single digits while winds gusted to 30 mph, Nash said.”  Those horses and/or cows! 

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