O Lord our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the earth. We come before you, dear God, as your grateful children and as brothers and sisters of Christ. Paul tells us that through him we have received a great inheritance. You are our God and we humbly give you thanks. May your Spirit guide us as we seek to be and share the Good News. In Jesus name, Amen.

Please pray for Zander Brown, 10 month old grandson of Sherry Shaw. Zander is hospitalized in Tulsa with breathing problems.
We continue to pray for Steve Henson, Marietta Henson’s son who is at M.D. Anderson.
Margie Edwards, Janet Lohmeyer’s mother, has a recurrence of cancer. Please pray for Margie.
Joan Ingmire is at St. Mary’s with pneumonia. She should be released today of tomorrow.
Please pray for Annella Baker. She had another fainting spell yesterday with at Lifelong Learning.
Below is an email Carolyn sent to family and friends yesterday. With her permission I am forwarding it to the prayer list:
“Just thought you would want to know that we saw the doc today and John's test are right about where they were previously so that's good news. We will keep our Nov. 9 appt. in Dallas and get started in the trial. If that isn't working (they should be able to tell pretty quickly), they will pull him out and put him on a new drug that is similar in nature but is just now coming out.
The Provenge is still a wait-for-inclusion-in- the-program-"thing". John is enrolled in that program but has to wait til there is an opening. But, he's not losing weight (good and bad! grin ), has good energy and all that other good stuff so he's definitely holding his own.
The Enid doc who relayed this info to us today said the same thing the Baylor doc said - that people live with these bone lesions (he has 2) and lymph nodes (a small amount) for years. It's good to have confirmation of this from 2 different docs.
So, we are much, much, much more hopeful than we were after the time we went to Oklahoma City. We have hope founded in reality and not just wishful thinking.
We know that you are praying for us and we appreciate it so much. (I, personally, need to thank you for the special care you have given me in checking on me and making sure I'm not alone. - Thank you, Sharon, especially.) You are all lovely friends and no one could do better in that department. In fact, in times like this, we know how truly family we are. We really ARE brothers and sisters in Christ. God's blessings to us are immense anyway, and now we have this wonderfully made blessing of your deep love and care for us. We love all of you.
If I have left anyone out of the email that you can think of, please send me email addies or forward this on. I tried to cover as many bases as possible, but there are some whose addies I don't have that I'd like to write to.
We will keep you updated. Blessed be, Carolyn McLemore”
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
