Again I must apologize for not keeping you up on things but the truth is there hasn’t been much to report. \u00a0The concert at Bethel Baptist here in Enterprise went well with a number of friends coming over from Hillcrest. \u00a0I am blessed by our friendships the Lord has given us here and it was so special to have them take time from their schedules to join us on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The week has been full of the usual things this time of year. \u00a0Parties. \u00a0Yep, nothing says “I celebrate the King in the manger” more than fruitcake cookies, party mix, a pig in a blanket. \u00a0Sounds a bit cynical and perhaps it is but things have been crazy.<\/p>\n
Patty’s dad had his last, in the series, chemo treatment today and exam with the oncologist to determine how his kidneys are holding up (this has been an area of concern for some time now) as well as the stage of the lymphoma. \u00a0The report was great. \u00a0His kidney function is really as well as could be expected at this time in his life and we rejoice in that. \u00a0The oncologist is very pleased with his progress. \u00a0She said she could not feel the tumor in his neck any longer but wants to stop the treatments \u00a0yet saying it may be too soon to quit. \u00a0She wants to do a series of injections every other week for the next 6 weeks. \u00a0Another praise!<\/p>\n
We plan on driving to Yazoo City on Sunday where we will spend Christmas with family and then drive back to Enterprise on Thursday. \u00a0I will be leading worship at Hillcrest on Sunday the 30th.<\/p>\n
I pray your Christmas is spent rejoicing and celebrating the One who made it all possible!<\/p>\n
