Good afternoon LifePoint family,I hope everyone had a great week.Many of you have asked about how Pam is doing.  For those who do not know, she was involved in a pretty serious car accident on Monday.  Unfortunately, a man was sitting at the stop sign at the intersection of Cemetery and Britton roads and did not see Pam coming and pulled right out in front of her.  She was not at fault, but a wrec...  Read More

Hey gang,I hope everyone is having a great Saturday evening. We don’t have much to share this week, so this email will be short.I do want to thank those of you who prayed for me this week.

Finally – August 2026 is no more!!  Surely cooler weather is near.  It’s much like the little boy who wanted a pony for his birthday but did not receive it.  Sadly, he walked out to the barn.  When his dad went out to see how he was fairing, the little boy was furiously digging in the hay and manure of one of the barn stalls.  The dad asked, “What are you doing?”  To which his son replied, “With t...  Read More

Hey guys, I apologize for having to send a follow-up email, but I forgot to explain something concerning tomorrow’s special building fund offering.Some have asked if they can pledge an offering tomorrow based upon money they will be able to give in the very near future.  Some are looking to come into extra funds in a few months and want to go ahead and make a pledge based upon that amount.  The an...  Read More

I want to express a special thank you to Gary Davis and the welcome team for helping to navigate us through last Sunday’s confusion at UCO.  Also, I so appreciate the willingness of our hospitality team to “roll with it” and for working so hard to move all the breakfast snacks to the first floor.  I know all the changes were inconvenient, but because of the Oklahoma Coaches Association conference ...  Read More

So far, we’ve received no bids on the week's stay in beautiful Pagosa Springs, CO.  We realize this could be because the announcement was so short notice.  However, if you have the week of Aug 1-8 open on your calendar and you’d like to beat the OK heat, this would be a great way to do it!  Don’t forget that all the proceeds go to our building fund.  (Click the cabin image below for more details!)...  Read More
