Today's News and Prayers

Friends:

Happy Sunday! Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather today. Not bad, huh!

Let's begin with a thank you to Vince and Mary for bringing our donuts today. We appreciate you guys, Vince and Mary!

We're still looking for a snack person for next Sunday. Any takers out there? If so, let me know!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Let's get down to our prayers and praises. First off, Leslie Coltrain has landed a job in Round Rock! Let's say a praise that the Coltrain family will be reunited again soon. Rumor has it that Leslie will begin her new job on June 14th. Please pray that the move will go well and that they will sell their Waco home soon. We're praying for you guys, Leslie and Khalil!

Bernie Hookham would like for us to pray for Linda Bohannon, a secretary at RBDR. Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. Please pray for strength and courage for Linda. Pray, also, that the treatments she will have soon will take care of the cancer.

Shannon Smith is hanging in there with this baby! Let's say a praise for how well Shannon is doing. We also need to keep up our prayers that Shannon will make it as long as possible and that the baby will arrive 100% healthy. We're praying for you, Shannon!

Christina G. would like for us to pray for her brother and mother. They are currently in Los Angeles on vacation. Pray for a safe trip. She also has asked that we pray for her friend Brennan. He is in law school and has been having some difficulties. Pray for understanding and patience for Brennan as he waits to hear about his grades for this semester (or quarter, whatever law schools call them!).

Beth Ramsdell brought good news this morning about her Mom. The tests last week went well, but she will need to go in again in a few weeks. Pray that any future work will have a positive effect. Beth's Mom also has been dealing with a sickness that she acquired from some of their farm animals. Please pray that the medicine she is taking will help the situation.

Also on the Beth and Matt front, Beth received good news this past week regarding the baby-possibility situation. Please continue to pray that Matt and Beth will get additional good news.

Mary E. would like for us to pray for her friends Candy and Trace. They have been going through some difficult times. We need to pray for God's hand in this situation to help improve the difficult times they are going through.

Jennifer M. brought good news today that Jaret has shown some improvements with his anxiety difficulties, but we need to continue our prayers. Pray that everything the Mays are doing for Jaret will have good results.

We had two birthdays for youngsters this week. Raegan turned 7 on Friday, and Braden Fadal turned 7 today. Happy birthday, Raegan and Braden!

I would like to add a prayer for my brother, John Ross, who turns the big 40 on Wednesday. Let's say a prayer that JR will enjoy his big birthday and will find a way to endure all of the harassment that is inevitably heading his way!

Last but not least, we need to pray for the families and friends that are grieving the loss of the two Baylor students and the one Texas A&M student who died recently. Please pray for strength and comfort for all who are grieving.

Well, I believe that covers everything for this week. Dana and I hope that all of you enjoy the week. The weather looks to be terrific!

We look forward to seeing you again next Sunday,

Wes
