Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family, Happy Mother’s Day a day early!

Some health prayer request updates: Julaine Appling again spent 2 1/2 days. She has learned that the carcinoma in her shoulder is curable. She will soon begin 6 months of oral chemo treatments. Pray for grace and strength as she goes through this. Darryl’s tsurgery went well. The doctor said things were “tight.” He will be in pain as he recovers. Pray for he and Karrie. Pray for God’s will concerning his future/continuing employment. Kathy R had a CT scan that they said was clean except for a couple of small nodules. They will biopsy them. A team of doctors will discuss her case early next week. After that she may know treatment options. Again, pray for healing, grace, and strength. 

Last night I heard a song that touched pretty deeply given the events of the past year in the lives of many of us. The words went like this:

I know you’re hurt
I know you’re angry
And I know you don’t understand
Why you’re here
How did this happen
How can this be part of His plan

I don’t know what He knows
So I can’t tell you why
But I know the love He shows
And His ways confound the wise and…

He heals
Broken hearts, broken bodies, broken minds
He heals
By His love, by His blood, and in His time

I know the pain
I know the waiting
And I know you feel all alone
There’s no words
To be spoken
That’ll make sense of it all

You may be standing in the rain
But the sun will shine again
You may not feel like it now
But He has you in the palm of His Hand and…

He heals
Broken hearts, broken bodies, broken minds
He heals
By His love, by His blood, and in His time

So don’t give up
Just hold on
You’ll find out
Before too long that…

He heals
Broken hearts, broken bodies, broken minds
He heals
By His love, by His blood, and in His time

Embracing Truth, 

Pastor
