We understand that Betty will get her teeth fixed in a couple of weeks.  We thank God for that answer to our prayers.  Pam is thankful for God’s blessings; that we are all able to be here together and that she learned a new bus route this week.  Linda is rejoicing in continued physical improvement.  She increased her treadmill time at the gym this week.

Ruth asks prayer for her sister-in-law who has been sent home from the hospital under hospice care.  Anna and Lupe are both out sick.  Ed fell and bruised his ribs some time before last Sunday.  He has wanted to come back to church but the pain has prevented him.  Pam reminds us to keep praying for Sandy’s knee to heal before her trip to Israel.

Pray also for our country and our troops serving oversees.  We have much to be thankful for regarding our nation, but we also have some serious problems that will be truly resolved only when we turn to Him.  Be blessed to be a blessing this week.  Follow Him daily.

Pray for Sharron

Bartimaeus Baptist Temple Posted on by

I’m asking the church to pray for the wife of a man that works with me.  This is part of the email he sent to a few of us today.  Later he told me he was taking her to the ER.  That’s all I know at this time.

Sharron is going to need some form of brain surgery soon. We will not know the full scope until after they do an MRI. It is in the process of being scheduled now.   A CAT scan done on Monday showed a mass 1.4 by 1.4 on the front part of the brain. From the cat scan they cannot tell what kind it is nor if its within the brain tissue or is between the skull and brain.
