Pastor John: Thank you for answering my prayer request, reference scriptures for dealing with grief and comfort. I appreciate the scriptures, they reset my brain on how to think about my twin sister’s death and how to deal with it. Surprisingly, I only have grief on my Birthday and Christmas (those special family days); any other day seems fine. I can talk about memories of my sister to others and visit her gravesite, etc., no problems. So, will forge ahead with the scriptures. (FYI) I got my “Armed and Dangerous” booklet in the mail today :-) Thanks much! No response is necessary…

I would love prayers from the church family for a speedy recovery, On Thursday, I was spray painting and went from the garage into the kitchen, my shoe sole got caught on the top step, and I made a 3 point landing on my face/nose/eyes, two replaced knees, a right hand, which were all bruised bad; thought I was going to bleed to death (a traumatic experience), but got through it. Long story short broken nose, eyes and hand and knees all bruised bad and swollen; it looks like I was in a boxing match. Not hospitalized and doctor said two week recovery; I feel it will be longer. Thank you everybody, I don’t normally ask for prayers for myself, but I know they do help. (I’m an at home member, being 80, and can’t always make it to the church, so watch Pastor John online.)
