Linda Hilburn wrote: Jessie and I were blessed to have Donny’s daughter, Tabatha and her family to visit Thanksgiving. We had a really nice visit Thanksgiving day with Donny , Janice and Dennis over to join us. Janice had to have hip surgery the next day, but is doing real well from the surgery. Although there were cancer cells in the hip bone, her oncologist is unable to tell if the cancer is healing stage or advancing. He gave her the option to begin chemo again or wait a couple of months to do a bone scan. She chose the latter. Thank you for your continued prayer.

For those that knew our Uncle Glenn Utz and Aunt Mildred Hilburn, we lost Uncle Glenn on Father’s Day, 2000 and Aunt Mildred on August 9, 2001.

Joyce Barker McCaulay makes beautiful western shirts. She sells them at rodeos and to a lady who has a business. If you happen to watch the Rose Parade on New Years Day, 2002, look for a woman wearing a very fancy western shirt with gloves to match as that is one of Joyce’s shirts.

Inspirations and Prayer Requests!
It has been said that on September 11, 2001, America got a 911 wake up call from God (September being the 9th month and 11 being the day). Psalms 9:17 says it like this, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God”. The solution, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will heal their land” II Chronicles 7:14.

Prayer is requested for our President and the leaders of our nation that they would make the right decisions at this time of great distress; for our troops and coalition troops; for those who have lost their loved ones and for the people of our nation as a whole to repent and obey the Lord. Offer thanks to the Lord for His great mercy which He has shown to us in allowing us a chance to repent and turn from our wicked ways as a nation. Last, but not least, prayer for our enemies (Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” Luke 6:27,28.

Cain Family Miracles and Divine Interventions
The following article, titled “So I Found Out,” was published in the Mobil Refinery company newspaper where Elmer Ward worked for many years. It describes an incident that occurred at Olon and Ruth Myrtle Cain Manning’s residence near Morgan City LA during a visit by Rosie May Rebecca Cain Ward and her family.

It was bedtime on the Atchafalaya River. With my husband, I was visiting my sister and her husband on a two-room houseboat they had staked out there. We almost never came home.

The cool, moist air started it all. I have arthritis, and-since cool, moist air makes it worse- I closed all the boat's windows. before going to bed. How long I slept, I don't know. But I awoke, sick and vomiting, in the middle of the night. This certainly wasn't arthritis.

I called for my husband. He came in, realized something was wrong and rushed for the door. He passed out before reaching it. A few moments later he regained consciousness, managed to crawl to a window and raise it. Somehow - though deathly -sick and nauseated - I fumbled. my way to the door and threw it open. Fresh air poured in..

My sister was unconscious for three hours. All four of us had been overcome by fumes from a gas refrigerator on board.

I learned a lesson that night about sleeping anywhere without plenty of ventilation. I found out there are some things worse than cool, moist air.
