Hi again, friends.  I’m writing you from Yazoo City as I complete the last of the 3 day layover before driving to Hattiesburg, MS, and the campus of William Carey University.  The school is hosting the MS Baptist Convention’s S.M.A.C.K. (summer music and arts camp for kids) where I will be leading the worship services and teaching a track time on puppetry.  Pray for God to move and hearts to be obedient to His Word.

Patty will be with me but we will be waiting to hear the oncologist’s plan of treatment for her dad.  I’ve told you that his cancer, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma has surfaced once again and with the visible swelling in the neck area, Dr. Young has been formulating a plan of attack and will share that at an appointment tomorrow afternoon.  Understandably, Patty will be working with me a bit distracted but really wants to be with me.  We will be in touch with the Dr as soon as the appt is over and go from there.  It’s in God’s hands.

It’s been quite a summer thus far and we are grateful for the strength and safety through all the presentations and travel.  Your prayers are a big part of that and we thank you so very much!

Blessings,
John
