O Merciful God,
We thank you for our blessings and ask for forgiveness for our sinfulness. It seems humanity is an enigma. We are capable of so much good and so much evil. And it seems that some of the evil we do is in the name of goodness. Cleanse our motives, O God. May we seek to follow the model of Jesus as we relate to our neighbors and to you. In Jesus name, AMEN.

Let me give you a quick update on my medical issues. Carolyn and I went to Dallas yesterday to meet with a genitourinary oncologist at Baylor. He is one of two in Texas and there are no doctors in Oklahoma with this very specialized practice. Frankly, we weren’t too encouraged after our last oncologist visit, but this was much different. This physician was very positive and has outlined a series of different therapies we will do. I am enrolled in the immune therapy program although it will be a few months before that will begin. As I said, Carolyn and I are very encouraged and optimistic about what lies ahead. There is no “cure”, but there are a variety of treatments which will allow longer life and good quality of life. Thank you for your love, prayers and cards. We are very blessed.
Phil Adams’ funeral will be Friday at 2:00 p.m. Please continue to lift up Phil’s family in your prayers.
WWNF meal and chapel begin tonight, PLUS a preview of the programs. I am glad we are back on a regular Wednesday night schedule.
This Sunday we are doing something new. We will install our deacons. If you are a new deacon or a deacon who is continuing to serve, you are invited to participate in the installation service during the 10:15 a.m. sanctuary worship. This will occur at the beginning so the R & R participants can attend the R & R service after the installation.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
