I mentioned on here that my pastor from my family church, retired while I was in Africa. He and his wife had served for many years in African missions, first as missionaries to Somalia, then after they were forced out of that country, as regional directors. They were very supportive of my going, ensuring that I would be fully supported. The pastor’s wife gave me a lot of good council when I was preparing to go – she prepared me for what I could face. When I got home, they had moved. I wanted to go to visit and tell them about what I had been doing, but, though I saw them at my second sibling’s wedding (he performed the ceremony) I haven’t been able to get there. Last night, we got a phone call saying the pastor’s wife had died from a massive stroke. Pray for the pastor – they were never able to have children, so he is left very alone.
Please pray for my M-i-L Betty. She has had a rough time recovering from hip surgery. She is going to the doctor this afternoon because the home therapist says her incision looks infected, and isn’t healing properly. She also has some nerve issues and recovery isn’t progressing as it should. She’s worried and upset and could use some prayer.
Also for my wife, who is obviously upset, and missing her Mom and the distance makes things worse. Thanks.
13 year-old Shane in brain surgery today far from home with just mom.
He’s had seizures his entire life. With Obamacare, family was dismayed to have to change their healthcare provider from the docs who had cared for him his whole life.
New docs did a rework and told the parents he has a very rare disorder–why wasn’t this treated years ago with surgery?
Scary, but relieved. Please pray. The story of God at work is very interesting.
I am fasting today for a special intention. Please i don’t get a migraine.
