My hip replacement was a huge success! God is so good! Please continue the prayers as my hip continues to heal and get stronger. What a privilege and blessing it is to belong to such a loving church family. Jeanie Robbins Dear First Baptist Church Family, Thank you for all the prayers and cards during my time of loss.
