Tired

Thursday was the time appointed for Bro. Ricky Boler to have the cancer removed. The surgeon said that the surgery went well although it was long. They will test the tissues but his professional opinion is that Bro. Boler may not need additional treatment. Hallelujah!

He has had some severe pain and there is a long road of recovery ahead of him but we are thankful for the help he has received so far. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for him, his wife and his church.

Praise God for all that he has done and will continue to do.🙌🏽🙌🏽

Tired
KJo and I went to the hospital about mid morning. However we intended to be there much earlier. While driving on I-20 a few miles west of Meridian, Mississippi we heard an awful and sudden racket coming from the back passenger side.

Kelly got stopped quickly and we went out to examine the situation in the rain. We were shocked to find a large piece of wire or fence of some kind sticking out of the middle of the tread.

About the time we discovered the source of the problem, a man named Cooper pulled over in front of us and came back to help. While he was getting the Jack set up, I pulled out the spare as a Mississippi state trooper pulled in behind and also offered to help.

They worked together to remove the tire and install the spare while I did my best to hold the umbrella to keep a little of the light rain at bay.

Cooper then led us to a tire shop in Meridian  before he went on to work. The tire shop took about an hour to get us taken care of, but they plugged the tire. 

I am thankful it was able to be repaired, because the tire is only five months old. This is what it looked like once they got it up in the Jeep. 



Cooper helped us tremendously, even giving us his phone number in case we needed any more help. He was extremely kind to us and generous with his time.

We are thankful to the men that helped us and ultimately to the Lord for helping us. It would have taken a long time and would have been a miserable process for me to change that tire with the wind and rain alongside the road in my suit and tie.

It worked out perfectly. 

Thank you for reading today.
