Agnes Britton

Ms Agnes fell this morning when she went to get the paper. Her neighbor helped her. Branson took her to the hopsital to get checked out. She had a broken hip, so they did surgery and placed a pin in her hip. She is in ECM room 256. Please remember her in your prayers.

Phil's Dad

Got this note from Shana today:
Just an update on Mr. Keenon. The nurses at dialysis had to call an ambulance for him yesterday. He was in severe pain, and his legs went numb. He has been admitted to H'ville hospital and is scheduled for back surgery on Tues., if they think he is stable enough. This is going to be pretty high risk due to all of his other problems, so please keep him in your prayers.

Rick's arteriogram

Rick is to have an arteriogram early tomorrow (Tuesday) in Huntsville. Keep him in your prayers!

Evelyn

Evelyn will be staying at our house until Monday, Oct 26. She has had a few bad days lately. She has been very weak. Today she had a good day. I stayed home from school with her, along with Curtis. I think Curtis being here cheered her up quite a bit. She doesn't go back to the doctor until November. She would love to come to Church, but the doctor told her not to be around a lot of people, her immune system is weak. Please remember to pray for her.

Anyway

(This poem was written by Kent Keith in 1968)

ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People need help but will attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway

[The apostle Paul appears to express the sentiment of that final line when he states: "But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord." -- 1 Corinthians 4:3-4]

Evelyn Ezell

Evelyn is back in the hospital, ECM room 565. She is having smoothering spells again, and gets really short of breath when she tries to do anything. They did a scan and found out the place in her lungs as grown. Don't know what they will decide to do just yet.

Doris

Doris is to have a scan on Wednesday to see how her treatments are progessing. She said she'll probably get the results Thursday. Let's keep her in prayer.

Lastest on Evelyn

Evelyn has to be at the hospital at 6:45 am in the morning. Dr. said she is third in line for her procedure, so it may be around 11:00 before he can get to her. She will have to be put to sleep for this procedure, and stay over night in the hospital. Please keep her in your prayers.

Evelyn Ezell

Evelyn has an appointment with a surgeon today (Monday). He is to go over the biopsy procedure and set up a date. It could be tomorrow, we just don't know. We are fairly sure it will not be today since her appointment isn't until 12:00. I will try to keep everyone updated on what we fine out.

Reminders

• Evelyn will probably have more procedures and tests on Thursday.
• Melissa will have back surgery next month
• Russell is still on the mend from breaking ribs
• Willa Jean has a "bunged up" leg

We were glad to see Phil appointed as a deacon Sunday. I hope he's blessed with many more years of faithful service to the Lord!

Reflections

I thought we had a great day at New Georgia yesterday. Gardner is really an uplifting person. I really appreciate his dedication to the Lord's work. I am also thankful for Russell and his sincerity.
Hope everyone has a great week in the Lord's service.

Hi from Tampa!!!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a quick post to touch base with you all. I'm still in Tampa... I have a new job at a women's fitness center (hard to believe... I know.) But I really love it. I'm even considering it for a career!

Anyways... I really want you all to know how much you have been in my thoughts and prayers lately. I am so sorry for all the pain that you must be going through. If I can be of any encouragement at all, please let me know! I love you all dearly.

Love,

Sommer

Arrangements for James Cagle

A Word of Thanks

I'd like to let everyone know that I am very thankful for all the support I've received since I've started coming to New Georgia and especially since my baptism this Sunday. It is wonderful to be surrounded by so many good, faithful people. I am so glad to be part of a much larger family in Christ, now. Thank you for the kind words and gestures. I look forward to learning and growing as a Christian with all of you.

Phil's dad

Phil's dad remains in Huntsville Hospital. He's to have a fairly serious vascular surgery first thing in the morning. Let's keep him and Phil and Shana in prayer.

Elaine's Surgery

The surgeon took out another very large mass from her abdomen. It was like the one she had removed in February. The doctor was "amazed" that it had grown back so quickly. He's hoping to find a chemo treatment that will be more effective. Keep her in your prayers as she recovers from this operation and they try to find a good treatment for her.
