TUESDAY, 8/22/17

“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5

Good morning from Birmingham.  This entry is a bit late and for that I apologize.  I wanted to get to the hospital before blogging.

Bryan Creps and his wife, Lisa, and their children, Kortni & Aaron, are good friends and are very involved in GRACE Ministries.  Lisa is a great niece of Norman Richerson.  Bryan is having major surgery on his chin as he was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer.  The surgery is scheduled to take eight to ten hours and involves removing his chin, taking a bone from his lower leg, skin from his leg and arm, et cetera.

I was able to stop by and pray with Robert Baria yesterday morning.  Of course he was not awake but did try to open his eyes whenever I spoke to him.

I visited with Scott, Jennifer & Craig Kirschenman.  The thought process was that Craig would be moved to a rehab facility either yesterday or very soon.

Also visited with Linda Johnson.  Linda is Vic’s (Coley’s dad) wife and is the sister-in-law of Tommy Johnson.  They were planning on putting a pace maker in place yesterday but they decided to treat her with medicine instead.  She will be in the hospital for a few more days.

I then went to another hospital and visited “complicated” Tina Wilkinson.  She is ready to go home but wants to be ready to go home when she is discharged.  Tired of going home and then back to the hospital.

As Lisa and I were heading to Birmingham yesterday we made a stop in Troy, Alabama and visited with Cora Martin.  What a delightful visit!  Miss Cora looked very good and is doing very good.  It was great to see her.

We also stopped in Millbrook and visited with Ken & Kathryn Huff.  They recently moved from Louisiana in order to be close to their daughter, Mandi, and their new granddaughter, Ruby.  They had lunch cooked and it was a feast!  I mean a feast!  Of course, Mandi & Ruby were there too so it was a great visit.  Really nice folks!

We were able to meet Craig & Jennifer Moss for supper last night.  That too was a delightful time.  It was our first opportunity to spend quality time with them since Craig’s dad passed from this life.

We hope to see the Dendy’s while we are in Birmingham.  These folks have sat in front of us at the Alabama games for many years and have become great friends.

So, I will be at the hospital for many hours today.  Not sure if we will get home late tonight or early in the morning.  I want to be here for Bryan and family, if needed.

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