REMEMBER THE SICK

AMBER BUICE has a growth on the outside of her eardrum.  She has been to numerous doctors, and the surgery may be sometime in October.  

AUSTIN GRAVES, Celeste Peter's maternal grandfather, has multiple myloma, a blood cancer that attacks white blood cells and plasma.  The deformed cells turn into a tumor that attacks the bone  -- there is no cure for this type of cancer. 

SHIRLEY GLOSSON  is now recuperating at home after being released from the hospital. 

RICHARD HOLBROOK continues to do well after his recent surgery. 

IRIS NORRIS, sister of David Decker, continues in Cobb Hospital  trying to overcome her breathing problems and  other issues. 

THELMA PIRTLE has a severe ear infection, and it is  a staph infection.

DORSEY PRINCE hoped to be moved to a rehab facility Thursday so he can get some strength back. 

D.C. TIDWELL, Tommy's dad, is having problems with pain continuing in his foot and with problems with low blood sugar. 

James 5:14-15  Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. NKJV
