What have we been up to?

Well starting with last Thursday my father was put into the hospital after almost blacking out during a stress test. He had been having some chest pains off and on so his heart doctor recommended a stress test and some other tests. They ran a heart cath on Thursday afternoon late and it came back clear with no blockages, however they still needed to find out why he almost blacked out. So they referred him to a doctor in Memphis, TN and transported him there Friday afternoon. They met with the doctor on Friday at Memphis and he stated that he would probably need to install a defibrillator. They went in on Monday afternoon and installed that device and he came home on Tuesday. He seems to be doing good. They are worried about the hospital bills and the fact that he will not be able to continue working at his current job, but God knows all about it and God will supply the need! Just please say a prayer for them that God give them the peace that only he can. One more thing--when the Doctor in Jonesboro done the heart cath he was amazed to report that the main artery that was clogged 100% in 1999 when he had his heart attach is now only 30% blocked. To God be the GLORY!

This week we began our Youth Week and boy have we had a good time. The services have been absolutely wonderful to say the least! God has surly visited us in a mighty way. Tonight we wind down with a social at Trumann as well as watching "Facing the Giants". I've seen it before, but it's just such a good movie that you can handle watching it time after time. Then Saturday we are having an afternoon at the park with a singing and preaching. It should be a very nice warm day for that. Thankfully no rain is in the forecast. I hope all of you out there have had a great youth week as well. God bless each of you!
