Prayer Request Update - 11/1 - 2:58pm

I sent out a message over the weekend, regarding little Carter Townes (3 years old).  He lives in Clarksville. His parents are Charlie and Timberlee Townes. He was diagnosed with A.L.L. (leukemia) over the weekend. He is at Children's Medical Center/Dallas. 
There is a blood drive for Carter Townes on Tuesday from 12 to 4 at Lamar County Electric. Please go give if you are anywhere near there!

Corey Gray has a bleed out where the surgery was done on his skull last month. He has had a "lung heart attack" and there is a dark spot on his lungs where he's been deprived of oxygen at some point in time recently. There are MULTIPLE clots in both lungs...top and bottom.  She said that he hasn't been eating or drinking for the last few days and is VERY weak. They are giving him morphine for the pain. 

Weekly Update - 11/1 - 1:38pm

DON'T FORGET.....Set your clock BACK one hour this coming Saturday night.
  • Ed Bullard is not doing well at all.  He's had a CT scan and they have scheduled him for surgery this afternoon to open him back up and clean out infection.  He's been in a lot of pain.
  • Please continue to keep Webber Woodall's Dad, W.L. "Red" Woodall, in your prayers. 
  • Remember Hazel Cross, Sherry Welch's Mom, as she continues to recover from a stroke.
  • Visitation for Glynn Lowe will be tonight from 6-8pm at the League Street Church of Chist in Sulphur Springs.  His funeral service will be tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10am also at the League Street Church of Christ in Sulphur Springs.
  • Debra Usry's friend, Richard Buck, has been missing since last Friday when he went hunting.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the annual Trunk or Treat last night!  There were over 900 children who attended and had a GREAT time!  The weather was perfect and no broken bones!  Thank you ESPECIALLY to Tanya Welch for all the hard work in preparation for last night.

Debby McNeal sent this message today:  "I want to thank everyone for their prayers for my father, Elmer "Butch" McNeal. Prayers were answered but not as we hoped. Dad passed away last night during a procedure to relieve a pneumothorax."  Please keep Kay, James & Debby in your prayers during this time.  Services have not been planned as of yet.

Prayer Requests - 11/1 - 10:12am

Continue to remember Webber Woodall's Dad, W.L. "Red" Woodall.  He is still in grave condition in Red River Regional/Bonham.  The doctor says his unstable condition prevents them from putting in a feeding tube at this time.


Corey Gray was taken to Presbyterian Hospital/Dallas again on Friday.  He's not feeling well at all.  They did an MRI and spinal tap and sent him home.  He got worse during the night last night and has been admitted to the hospital with blood clots in his lungs.


Vickie Humphrey sent this message:  "I wanted to ask you to please add Barney Sawyer to our prayer list.  He had a tumor (skin cancer) removed from his lip.  It had grown down into  a nerve and they were not able to get it all.  He will have a scan at the Cancer Center on Friday to make sure that there is no other cancer anywhere else before he begins radiation treatments the following week.  He will have 7 treatments, assuming that the scan on Friday shows no other cancer."

Prayer Request - 10/28 - 8:05pm

Please keep Webber Woodall in your prayers as he is making very difficult decisions regarding his Dad.  And specifically pray that he makes the right decision.

Ed Bullard has been moved to PRMC/S-Room 316.

I received this wonderful message from a family member of Dalton Young:  He is awake.  He was asked to move his left thumb and he did.  His Dad told him that he loved him and he said "I love you Daddy.".
