Back to School on Wednesday

That's right a little bit of normal starts tomorrow when school starts back. Thanks to the Air Force National Guard the Piggott Schools will be up and running on Wednesday morning. It has been two weeks today since the ice storm hit and we still have no cable tv and not a single person has gone crazy in our house. I did hear the steelers won the super bowl and someone said there's a pretty big nascar race this weekend, I WOULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE CABLE. I really haven't missed it much can't you tell.

We did finish up our work at the community center today and it was wonderful to be able to serve others along side my family and friends. I am so proud of my family!!!!

Mom is doing good and seems to be getting stronger each day. There might be a chance of her coming home pretty soon. Thanks for praying for her and all the calls and cards. Pray for her because she don't have any cable at the hospital either. Life can be tough....i think we'll make it!We will have services this Sunday at 10a.m. so I hope all of you can make it to the service.

See Ya

Serving Meals at Community Center

We just finished serving 250 meals at the Community Center and it was so much FUN!! The scripture tells us that even Jesus didn't come to be served but To Serve. It is such a Joy to be able to help others at this time of need. The people have all been so appreciative of everything we have done for them. I want to encourage all of you out there that if you are feeling a little down and depressed find you a place and volunteer to help the needy and it should be just the medicine that you need to get the joy back in your life. Can't wait until supper and serve another 250 meals. I would also like to say thanks to the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and the Red Cross along with the National Guard for there help during our time of need.

Troubling times can bring us together or divide us as a community, those who survive are those who pool resources and work together. Thank you to all who have pulled together worked so hard to help others. You are never more like Jesus than when you serve others!!!!!!!

Mom is doing wonderful, she is back at the Piggott Hospital and we are so thankful. Keep praying for us.

Love all of you,

Kevin

Power is on at the Murray home!!!!

It is a Great day we do have power and hot water at the Murray house. That's not all, Mom is moving back to the Piggott hospital today as well. Can life get any better? Mom is doing so much better, it is a Miracle and we are all so thankful for all your prayers and support through all the sickness and bad weather. God is showing Himself to be faithful as usual. I am on my way to help serve meals at the shelter that is set up at the Piggott community center so if you are looking for something to do they need volunteers to help with meals, call me (870) 598 7211

Just a sample of how much ice is in Piggott, Arkansas.

Found a picture on the internet! I'll post more later.

Weathering the storm

The ice storm of 2009! Today is day 6 of no electricity. We are all doing fine at the Murray home. God is providing for us. We have gas heat and a nice generator and right now those are two things that not everyone in Piggott and surrounding towns have. There are several people having to live in shelters. We do have power at the church and it is so nice to be in the office this morning. I don't know if anyone will show up for church, but I am here ready to go. We are going to be feeding the folks at the shelter today so it will be a Great opportunity to minister to those in need. If you are reading this blog and are in need of anything please call 870 598 7211 and ask for some help and we will do our best to help you and your family.

Update on Mom:

On Wednesday we had to move mom to the Paragould hospital because they had to shut down the Piggott hospital due to no electricity. Her breathing has improved so much she is still not well but she is much better. She asked me to please tell all of you that she loves you and she is thankful for all of your prayers, cards, and flowers. We are thankful to God for all He has done for mom.
