My friend just let me know her husband’s tests showed he has colon cancer. They are waiting to hear if it has spread or not. She said they are all in shock still and the news has not sunk in yet, and she also seemed solid in knowing God has a plan and has something to teach them through this. Please pray for this Calvary family with 3 young boys and also his mom (Grammy) who lives with them. 

Thank you for praying for my dad. It’s been a long busy week but he’s doing well in regards to the bypass/open heart and valve replacement.  However, there was a complication with the reintroduction of his blood from the bypass machine back into his arm.  It resulted in the surgeon having to operate on his arm to save it.  It’s added time and complications but he’s healing and we hope he’ll be released for home in the next day or so.  

Please pray that I would not be sick.

Praise that my mom went home from the hospital after 12 days she is doing great and feeling stronger each day. Thankful that I was able to return home yesterday. I see God’s hand in making my trip home possible as my son Tristen suffered the loss of a friend in a tragic car accident last night. We talked through it and with broken hearts ask for prayers for everyone involved as there was another vehicle involved and another family lost a wife and mom. Tristen questioned if he had witnessed enough to this friend and if he was saved. I know God can bring good out of tragedy.
