Weekly Update - 4/22 - 9:31pm

I loved Patrick's lesson this morning on the "Final Instructions" from Jesus as he was about to ascend into heaven.  In Luke 24:36 Jesus stands among them and says "Peace be with you"....or as the Preacherman said "PEACE Y'ALL".

  • Butch Mills is in PRMC/South - Room 627.  He was admitted on Friday with breathing problems.
