MONDAY UPDATE

I had to preach yesterday for Brother Shane Dye at Daviston Baptist Church. Brother Shane came down with some type of Bug and was very sick.

Most of our sick are home from the hospitals and are doing good. Mrs. Eula is home from Chapman and is reported doing very good.  Brother Rusty and Mrs Dell was in both services. Brother Ronnie was at the morning service. Things seem to be looking up for awhile at least.

Brother Rodney sent me a text a few minuets ago telling me about a dear pastor friend's son dying after a long battle with diabetes. Please pray for the Jarrells Family.

The youth go to Brother Tony's church tonight to sing, pray for them.

We need help with the bake sale coming up on the 19th.  If you can bake or make or buy please Brother Rick.

Until next time Remember God Loves you when everyone else has you down!

THURSDAY UPDATE

Baptize graphicsA great Revival Meeting comes to an end. Let us Pray  together that the REVIVAL will never end. There was a lot of decisions made. Christians need to pray hard and long that Satan will not be able to drag these that made those decisions back down.  It is as much our responsible to help these struggling babes in Christ and these revived Children of God to succeed.

We will be Baptizing all the Candidates for Baptism Sunday Night,September 23,2013.
If you are going to be baptized bring a towel and a change of cloths.

   I don't know how any of our sick are this morning, just keep praying for them.
Until next time may the God of Creation create in you a clean heart and a kind spirit.

MONDAY UPDATE

Good Morning from Victory!
We have had a great start to the Fall Revival. Yesterday was a real good start. We are trusting that the rest of the meetings will truly be Revival Meetings!! But to really be revived and blessed by God you must first be present. If you bring 15 and above visitors during the meetings you could win a Scofield Reference Bible. The one with the most visitors during the week wins.

 We have several members that have surgeries this week. Pray for Mrs. Flora Martin and Melinda.

Mrs Ruth and Mrs Hazel still need your prayers. Mrs. Eula is still  improving at Chapman's.
Until next time Remember to pray for and come to the Revival.

MONDAY -THURSDAY UPDATES

 First let me say that I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping the blog up to-date.  I have been painting the inside of the church this week and have been a  way from my computer. Almost done with the painting and now comes the hard part, the clean up. I always hated that part.

 Well any way let me try to tell what I know has happened this week. We have been having Cartage Prayer Meeting all week and they have been very good. Tomorrow night we will be ate the Watkins beginning at 6 pm. and Saturday night we will end with the men coming here at the Church at 8 pm.



Fall Revival begins Sunday morning at 11 Am (Don't forget Sunday School ant 10) and goes through Wednesday night. Brother Mike Ragland will be the guest Speaker. Keep praying for the Revival. I made this statement at the Tuesday night prayer service," You can't be revived until you have been Vived" I know that isn't a real word but it has a real meaning.
You must be saved before you can be revived. Christians need an old fashion, tear jerking, soul saving revival. Pray that this one will be it!!!

David Wilson had to have a stent put in Tuesday night. He started having chest pains sometime Monday night and was put in ICU. As far as I know he went home today.

Until next time Keep on a Praying!!

David went through surgery find and the doctors said everything went well.

THURSDAY UP-DATE


CALLING ALL VICTORY MEMBERS

WEDNESDAY'S UP-DATE

Good Morning People of Victory!
As we come to another anniversary of the attack on America (or should I say the attack on the world) we must realize that because we are free we must protect that freedom! Freedom is not FREE!!  It has been paid for by the blood of countless young men and women over the ages. It has also cost billions of American dollars as well. For reasons that I will never understand there are individuals that want to take that freedom away and they don't care how they do it!  Please take a moment  to pray, remembering the families of the ones that died on September 11.

On a happier  note:  Mrs. Eula Tapley gets out of the Hospital today but she has to go to Chapman's for 21 days. The Dr. wants to let her get her strength back before she can go home by herself. Thank God that she has improved so much!  For awhile it was touch and go!

Brother John and I went to see Jerry Baker last night. He  seemed to be doing good but he has a lot of fluid build up. Continue  to pray for him.

The Pritchards went to see Brother Bent and Mrs Vivian. Mrs Vivian has to go  to B'ham today and get some shots for her shoulder , other than that they seem to be doing well.

I want to remind everyone of the REVIVAL that is coming up. September 22-25 here at Victory!! Brother Mike Ragland will be here preaching both services Sunday and Monday -Wednesday nights.  COME AND BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU!!

We will be having Cottage Prayer meetings the week of September 16-19th. We will announce were as soon as we know.  I know that we will be here at the church on Wednesday night and the men will meet at 8 pm on Thursday night but Monday and Tuesday has not been  determined as yet.

Until next time May God be very near to you and your family.

MONDAY'S UPDATE

Good Morning people of Victory! I trust that you had a wonderful week end. We had 2 great service here at Victory Yesterday. If you wasn't here you should have been.

I have several things to report.

Mrs Eula remains in the Hospital but she has been taken out of ICU and put in room 284. The Doctor says that she is doing a LOT better. Thank all of you for all your prayers. God really came through this past week for her!!

Brother Rusty Burns was at church both services Sunday. He looked good and Mrs Burns said that he was doing a lot better.

Mrs Hazel gave everyone another scare Sunday morning. She went out side to the Garbage dump and fell and had to set off her life alert. She didn't get hurt, thank God, but it could have been very serious had the life alert failed to work.

Brother Ronnie Truett was at the morning service. He came in walking on his own without a cane or anything. He is doing so much better. Myron is still recovering from her surgery.

Yesterday at the morning service we honored all the grandparents. There was a good many that was at the morning service. Thank God fro Grandparents.

Brother Dewayne Bailey preached at the evening service and did a great job. His  wife Susie sang 2 songs that was a blessing to all.

Until next time: May the Good Lord smile upon you!  May you always have meal in your barrel and oil in your jar.

UP DATE ON MRS. EULA


Just got an up date on Mrs. Eula. She is not doing good at all! Her kidneys have stop functioning and they are having problems getting her heart to stay in rhythm.  They are going to start Dialysis in just a few minutes.  The doctors believe that as soon as they get her blood pressure stable and her heart in rhythm her kidneys will start back functioning.
Pray that they are right!  She has a ways to go. 

FRIDAY NEWS UPDATE

Good Morning People of Victory!
I hope that this day will be a great day in the LORD!

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31  


Today reach for the sky and don't let Satan rob you of the victory!  If there has ever been a time that we needed to wait on the Lord and allow Him to renew our strength it is today! As we approach the anniversary of one of the darkest days in America's history we need to remember that God is still in control and Satan is a loser waiting for his sentence. He can only do to you what you allow him to do!! 
 
I don't have a lot of updates on our sick yet. I will try to update as soon as I hear.  We have heard from Mrs. Kitty. She is doing good but has not heard from her test yet.

Thursday, September 5, 2013

UP DATE

Just Got a report on Mrs Eula. She is still in ICU. The Doctors seem to think that the Meds that they put her on the last time she was in the hospital about 3 weeks ago is causing her blood pressure and heart rate to go down.  Right now her BP is 90/28  They are going to have to get these meds out of her system and start something else. She has a kidney infection also. Keep here in your Prayers,.

UP DATE

Mrs Eula is being admitted to the ICU Unit.

UP DATE ON MRS. EULA

Brother John just got back from the ER. Mrs Eula has a very low blood pressure AND a very  low heart rate, about 45. They are running test and will know more in about 2 hours. Bro John said that she would go to sleep just sitting there talking to you.  PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

 I don't know anymore information at this time but will keep you posted!

Good Morning People of Victory!
We had a great service last night. If you wasn't here you missed a great time of  study and discussion.

I have a lot to report on this morning some good and some not so good.  Melinda and Justin both came in last night with pulled tendons. Melida fell and pulled all the tendons behind her knee. She has to go today for an MRI. Justin fell playing ball and tore the tendons in his ankle.  Don't Know what he has to have done. He is in a brace right now.  Brother Rusty had a bad day yesterday. He is not doing well at all. Mrs. Ruth Johnson had another fall this week. She is ok but she has fallen several times over the last month.  Mrs. Hazel had a bad day yesterday. She stayed in bed most of the day,  Ronnie Truett is doing well. He seems to be improving every day.

Lisa Wilson got her complete report yesterday and it was great!!  All the reports showed NO sign of cancer! PTL  I think that they are still going to UAB or more test to make sure. This has to be a big relief for her and the family!!

Myron Truett Had surgery yesterday to relieve a pinched nerve in her neck. She is doing well and will be coming home this morning. The surgeon  said that everything went well.

TUESDAY UPDATE

I hope that you had a great Labor Day!  I know I did (Ha Ha)  I got up early so I could fix our toilet. It has been giving us some problems wanting to back up and sure enough Sunday Morning it decided to really stop up. So Labor day morning I had to pull the toilet and fix it.  But after that we had a good day. I cooked out and had some of the kids over (yes I washed my hands). We had some really good ribs and ham and hot dogs and hamburgers and all the trimmings.  I am paying for all the work I had to do yesterday though My back is
hurting real bad, But that is normal after a hard day. Enough about me!

Lisa Wilson is still recovering in the hospital. She really needs your prayers.
They will find out later this week  the results of the pathological report. Pray that it is good!!
Ken Guice is doing good and is at home. Brother Rusty had a bad night Saturday  but I haven't heard from him this morning.
