• Maria O.-- Just wanted everyone to know that Ann will be leaving for Louisiana monday morning at 6am from Pflugerville with the Murphy's Disaster Relief Team. She will be traveling to Jennings, Luisiana (close to Lafayette) to help people in need after the severe weather from hurricane Gustav hits. Let's pray for a hedge of protection around Ann, her team and their vehicle, for safe travel and a safe return, for her to have phone service so that she can keep in touch with Shelly, for her to help others and spread the Lord's love while she is over there. We love you Ann!

• Maggie W.-- Thank you for the prayers for my cousin Santana in Illinois when the doctors could not figure out what was wrong. God does hear our prayers! Got this from his sister: latest update on Santana is he was suffering from a severe case of Auto Immune Pancreatitis manifesting itself with several grave side effects - one being pain of the sciatic nerve. When after so many tests and an administration of steroids to relieve the pain, the steroid attacked not just the pain, but the responsible cause, being a very ill and inflammed pancreas that was being obstructed from view in the testing by other vital organs and intestines. The Good Lord once again lets us know that when all of man's knowledge is exhausted, He is ready, willing, and able to step in and take charge! All of us united in Love and Prayer are witnesses of His Divine and GREAT Power. Please also pray for God to continue to diffuse Gustav and diminish the wind velocity, and for the levees to hold, for any people who may have chosen to stay behind and all those others whose lives are being interrupted.
• Maggie W.--Please pray for the Montanez Family. Here is what I have from Mrs. Montanez: Thanks for checking in on me & my family , we have been going through a rough couple of weeks as my husband has been hospitalized again for fluid build up , they had to tap him to drain the fluid and hopefully he will get to feeling better...I hope to have our lives somewhat back to normal next weekend so that I can attend church again , believe me I missed it this Sunday.
