Prayers of the People
Caleb Rodriquez - Thank you all for your prayers! Caleb is doing good, lots of pain (thank God for meds)!

Those of you who know Caleb, this will be funny to you:

The procedure was done in the office, as the nurse asked him to lay down to inject some medicine, he quickly tells me:
"Mom, tell Justin I love him...in case I don't make it!"

He survived and did not think it was FUNNY when I told him the tubes were a pretty PINK color and when the doctor played along!

Continue to pray for healing! ester


John Coon - prayer for health

The People of Haiti - continue to pray for the country and those who are there to provide humanitarian aid.

Beverly Sanders - gall bladder surgery last Wednesday; it was more involved as there was a tear in teh stomach which was repaired. Continue to pray for healing.

Gary Elliot Family - Gary passed away this week at 59 years old.

Everette Boyce - I just received notice that my Brother-in Law, Everette Boyce, Methodist minister in Bandera, TX, was involved in a motor cycle accident yesterday. He is in critical condition and in intensive care at University Hospital in San Antonio. He has a brain hemorrhage, bleeding kidney, multiple face and head fractures and lacerations, and 6 broken ribs. Please pray for him, his wife (who is Paulette’s sister), their children, and other relatives.
Thank you for your concern and prayers.
