Late Wednesday night

Hi Friends. We just arrived home from the SC District Campmeeting in Batesburg. I wanted to write a few words before heading to bed. Today was a good day. After having my first Chemo treatment yesterday afternoon, I was anxious to see how I would fare today physically. I was able to eat a good breakfast, then headed to the church office with the good intentions of working an entire day. I was able to get some sermon preparations done, and a wedding ceremony written for this weekend, but about 1:00 p.m. I began to fade. I packed up and headed for home. When I pulled into the driveway I was amazed to see how nice and manicured my lawn looked! I went inside and asked Vicky who had cut the grass. She didn't know anything about it. What a blessing. Some "angel" on assignment from God blessed us by doing our yardwork! I had planned to get up early tomorrow morning and cut the grass before going to work. Vicky was worried because the temp. was 97 today with a heat index of over 100. Thank you God for sending someone to bless us today! Although I wanted to read & reply to some emails this afternoon, Vicky insisted that I take a nap. After resting for a couple of hours, I felt much stronger. The only real after effects of my chemo has been fatigue, dry mouth, and some minor shortness of breath. I've maintained a good appetite, and have suffered no signs of nausea! PRAISE BE TO GOD!

At 6:00 p.m. we mounted the Harley and met the church bikers for our ride to the campmeeting. We were so thrilled when we pulled into the meeting place to see the entire group of about 20 bikers dressed in what my mom calls "war clothes"!! They had on red shirts (the blood of Christ) and white pants (the purity of the Holy Spirit) and were ready to do WAR against the Devil on behalf of my healing! What a sight!! I'll post a picture on the website soon. We made the 45 minute ride to the campgrounds in good order. The service was very anointed tonight. Of course it helps the worship leaders and preacher when 3 rows of fired up bikers are sitting in the front center section!! After some fellowship at the camp canteen, we rode back to North Augusta and went to our separate homes. What a nice evening.
Today my friend and church member, Bobby Boggs, issued me a new PRAYER PAGER that now has a tollfree number for my out of town prayer partners to use. Outside the North Augusta area, you can dial 888-869-7914 and press "733" when you pray for me and my pager will alert me to your prayers!! It also has nationwide coverage so that I can receive pages next week while attending General Assembly in Indiana. What a blessing your prayers and pages have been to me this week! Of course, the local number is still the same:510-HEAL!
That's all for today. Thanks for caring. Thanks for loving. Thanks for Praying and believing in miracles! I love you! Pastor Scott
