And three Psalms, Lord Willing, Psalm 67 through 69. You can turn there if you're not there already.

And while you do, I want to kind of give you an update and also for the benefit of our online people.

First on Michelle, Artie's wife, Michelle Kendall. She is, I mean, the power of prayer. Truly, she almost died. It was that serious.

And so she is doing so much better and still in the hospital will be for a while.

Even when she gets home, she'll be on IVs for several weeks, maybe a couple of months,

just because of the nature of the infection. But she is so grateful for all the prayers. And I tell you,

it's the power of prayer. I know that has the propensity to sound cliche, it is not. God hears prayer, God answers prayer.

And we have been praying for her and certainly God has heard and hearkened under the voice of our cry. And I tell you, we had several people

from the church go out and clean the house for her, for her return home. It has to be sort of a

sanitary and disinfected environment. So they had to clean everything out, new bed,

new flooring, rip the carpet out, all kinds of stuff. So I tell you, you know, as a pastor of a

church like this, and there are not many pastors who can say what I'm about to say but you make the pastor

it such a joy and when I hear I was sharing with somebody that this is how the body of

Christ is supposed to function when somebody has a need and we come together and so there was a team of like eight

nine people that went out to the house took out a bunch of stuff cleaned the entire house

and just getting it ready for her to return home can I say it this way in a healthy way? It makes a pastor proud. Good proud,

not the sinful proud, but just you make me so proud to be your pastor. And so I just want

to say thank you to you as a church. So tomorrow morning Irene goes in for

surgery. She has been diagnosed with melanoma, skin cancer. You don't mess with melanoma. And so if the

Lord puts it on your heart tomorrow morning, please pray for Irene. We're looking for a good report to come from that.

Also, we mentioned Jeff Cottrell, Donna's husband, who was diagnosed a couple days before Christmas,

I think, with bladder cancer. And Donna is very grateful for all the prayers.
