Darlene Moorman’s great-grandson visited this past weekend. Bless his heart, he went back home crying because he wanted to stay with mawmaw. He watched church with Darlene Sunday morning and he held his little arms up to the good Lord and said, “Praise the Lord!” Darlene said she just had to grab him and give him a big hug. It was so sweet. Five years old and praising the Lord. Someone is raising him right, Darlene.
Lila Myrick said to please put her niece, Kirsti Daves. on the prayer list. She had to go to the ER Sunday with heart palpitations and weakness in her arm. The ER doctor said she was hypoglycemic and her potassium is low. She has to make an appointment with her doctor Monday. Kirsti is Bobby Joe McClanahan’s daughter. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
Speaking of Lila, she went to Oxford early Monday morning for an ultrasound on the arteries in her neck. Hope and pray there are no blockages.

Joyce Stevens and Martha spent a few hours with Larry Stephens the other day. She said it was great to see Karen and her so sweet man and family.

Martha made it to Tillatoba Baptist Church Sunday. She said Bro. Harris preached a wonderful message. “With all the fears we may have in this world, He, Jesus, is still here,” Martha said. “He is above all the fear! Had me humming ‘Because He Lives,’ I can face tomorrow!”
Martha went by to check on Bobby McClanahan after church. She said he is in charge, working on getting well and up. He is looking good and is getting good care from his family and home health, said Martha.
Happy 19th anniversary to Ernie and Stephanie Holliday on April 16. A durable metal, bronze, has come to symbolize a long-lasting, resilient marriage. It's both the traditional and modern theme for the 19th wedding anniversary. Make sure you don’t get her any metal and bronze pots and pans, Ernie! Maybe jewelry.
Happy birthday to Mildred Kendall on April 7; Betty Fly Neal, Dot Arnold Champion and John Dukes on the 13th; to Malinda Ford Martinon on the 16th; and to my son, Timothy Sullivan, as well as Julie Kerr and Ginny Toole Sosebee, who share a birthday on the 17th. I hope you all have a wonderful birthday.
