This past Saturday, my grandmother was called home to be with the Lord. She was 92 years old with 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren (with 3 more on the way). She was widowed in her 40′s with 7 kids to raise and dedicated her life to caring for her children and grandchildren. She was a remarkable, strong person who overcame many obstacles, but always found a way to laugh and had no problem telling you the way things were. Our family revolved around her. She truly lived life to the fullest for 92 years. She loved Mardi Gras parades and would hit you with her cane if you got in her way. She even tailgated a LSU football game in her 90′s. She was an amazing person who will be dearly missed. I will cherish my memories with her until we meet again. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. –John 10:27-30

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.”
                                                                Psalms 100:4-5

Happy Thanksgiving Ya’ll! Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving! Hoping for a Saints victory against the Dallas Cowboys! Geaux Saints!!!

Please pray for God to give comfort to the 11 families who lost a loved one in the explosion, for Him to work through those in charge of stopping the leak and provide them with a plan, for the fisherman and those dependent on the water to provide for their families, for the wildlife in harms way, for the land affected by the oil, and for a peaceful hurricane season.

SR 145 states that “citizens are urged to pray for a solution to this crisis, each according to his or her own faith, to pray for God’s continued guidance and protection and to join in the observance of a day of prayer, seeking God’s blessings upon both our state and nation.”
