PRAISE: After receiving a new heart, less than 3 weeks ago, Mitchell Pitcock is back home in Paris. His Mom, Joanna, said he is feeling GREAT! He's even been out and about here in town! God is GOOD!
My friend, Kaci Crawford, was admitted to PRMC/North - Room 467 today. (She's 19 and is the pitcher for the PJC Lady Dragons baseball team.) She's had some chest pains the last few days...went to Minor Emergency today. They did a test and said that she had all the symptoms of someone that had a heart attack. Dr. Hashmi did a sonogram and said that she has an extra chamber in her heart and she is having major arryhthmia. When we left the hospital tonight she was in quite a bit of pain and they had put her on oxygen. It's an awful lot to digest for a young woman who is a runner and has been in excellent shape. (She has an identical twin Kara - they want to get her checked out soon too!)

III John 2: "Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are stong in spirit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, once again, Patrick, for the reminder that we all need to slow down and do the will of God. Even the country artists, Alabama, sing about it: "Do you ever feel like you rush and rush until life's no fun? We are all in a hurry and don't know why." This week, make the extra effort to slow down...take time with God.
Thanks to the guys from the Youth Group that led us in the devotional time after our pot-luck today. We are SO very blessed to have such a talented bunch of young men!
PRAISE: It was wonderful too see Ken Smith AND Dolores Parker at church this morning!

PRAISE: I didn't know until Friday night that Zack Moss, who we've prayed for while he's been in Iraq, is back in the good ol' USA! He appreciates the MANY prayers that have been sent up on his behalf over this past year and is thankful to be home!
June Preston continues to be at home with hospice. She is now bedfast, but welcomes visits, cards and phone calls. Also, keep her daughters Kimi & Geri and their families in your prayers also.
Jerry Pearce continues his rehab in PRMC/North.
Alan & Sherrie Boyd's son, Shannon, will take his Physical Therapist Board Exam this Wednesday morning and Sherrie asks that we pray for Shannon to have a "ready recollection" of all he's learned this last few years.
Linda Erwin asked that we pray for her friend, Judy Mason, as she has surgery for breast cancer.
Lesa Bulls' friend, Stormie Scott's dad, Rick Evans, passed away. She also asked for continued prayers for Wesley Williams as he is contuning to recover from a kidney transplant this past week. Also Gwen Walker, who has been diagnosed with cancer - but has a good prognosis.

Charla Bishop asks that we keep Mike in our prayers as he will be traveling this week. And also for their daughter, Lindsey, as she starts new classes this week.
Kristi Garrett broke a bone in her right hand yesterday. She'll see an orthopedic Dr. tomorrow (8/31)....she is right-handed and a teacher - you know this is a big handicap for her.

Gina Barnett says that her friend, Joyce Wells, needs prayers during this time of adjustment - her daughter is leaving for college.
Mark Barnett's friend, Curry Scott, had a kidney removed on Friday, that had a cancerous tumor on it.

Prayer Request Update - 8/28 - 10pm
Dorothy Pearce sent this update today on Jerry: “After the surgery, that was necessitated by the blood clot in his leg, Jerry is now back at PRMC North, Room 331, and again undergoing intense rehab therapy for the effects of the stroke. He's not quite where they would like him to be at this stage (the surgery set him back and they had to virtually start over), but he's still trying hard. We continue to need and appreciate your prayers.” Please keep Miss Dorothy in your prayers too!
Debra Usry asked that we remember the family of Michael Ballard, who passed away on Wednesday. (He was a cousin of Lloyd’s.) Funeral services are pending with Starrett Funeral Home. Michael was retired from Campbell Soup.
Derald and Lesa Bulls asked that we add their friend, Gwen Walker, to our prayer list. (She is the Mother of Mark Walker and Gwynnita Walker Ponder.) She has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, and the prognosis is good.
Martha Crockett asked that we please be sure to keep her Daddy (Glen Reeder) on the prayer list. He is still in PRMC/South 733.
My Mommy, Louise McMillan, is about the same. Her speech is still a little confusing…Today she was sitting down, leaned forward and said “I almost hit my memories!" (She meant her head.)

Prayer Request Update - 8/26 - 9:41pm
Please continue to keep our sister June Preston and her family in your prayers. They are keeping her comfortable at this point. All of the family has been called in.
Laquita Lawrence is coordinating food to be taken over to her…if you would like to help, please check with her first.
Melvin Webb had his eye surgery yesterday and is already at home.
Charlotte Grooms sent these messages today: “My brother David Nelson had his colonoscopy yesterday, and it turned out fine. Also, Dusti Gaither is at home and will have blood work this morning and let's all hope that her counts are up and she can start real Kindergarten. Right now she is going to "granny’s school" but wants to go to real school. Thanks for all the prayers.”
Mitchell Pitcock will have his second biopsy tomorrow (8/26) and if it is okay then he will get to come back to Paris either Thursday or Friday. He will have to go back to Dallas weekly for biopsies for a while, then biweekly, etc. His Mom (Joanna) asks that we keep on praying. God has done a great work in this young man's life and continues to do so.
Lesa Bulls sent this message today: “Wesley Williams is still in ICU but if all goes well, they hope will get into a room either tomorrow afternoon or Friday!! His kidney is not functioning at 100% but she said that is normal at this point due to the trauma of the surgery. His heart stopped twice during surgery but they were able to get it started right back up.”
Our Benevolence Committee helped 30 families this afternoon…and the pantry is once again EMPTY. They are in need of everything!

Prayer Request Update - 8/26 - 9:20am
June Preston's condition has drastically deteriorated over the last couple of days. They have now started her on morphine to keep her comfortable.
Kathy Daniels' brother, Richard (Ricky) Adams, would like for you to add him to our prayer list. He is having surgery about 4:00 this afternoon. It is about a 3-4 hour surgery.
Lesa Bulls' sent these 2 requests: "Please add Wesley Williams, who just received his new kidney. Steve Sparks (principle at Stone MS) his father, Charles Sparks passed away. "
My Mommy, Louise McMillan, fell on Monday night at the nursing home. She has a huge bump and abrasion on the back of her head. (One of the nurses had forgotten to put the alarm back on her bed and turn it on.) She has really had a rough couple of weeks...but continues to just smile and be happy.

Prayer Request Update - 8/21 - 8:33pm
Dorothy Pearce called the church office this afternoon and said: "Jerry has a blood clot in his leg. They are moving him to the PRMC/South for a procedure to put a filter in his vein to hopefully catch the clot if it breaks free. He cannot take blood thinners at this time due to the stroke. He will probably move back to the north campus on Monday. Please keep him in your prayers. Dorothy did not have a room number for the south campus when she called the office."
Charlotte Grooms sent this message this afternoon: "The luncheon on Thursday for area school personnel was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to all the ladies that prepared food and to the ones that served. It was just wonderful."
My Mom did have a stroke last night. She's having a big problem communicating with us now. She is a VERY big talker, and right now, it's just gibberish.
Love you - MEAN IT!
