Friday Afternoon Update

Pastor Bill had a tough night. Spiked a 103 fever and has a sinus infection along with an mastoid infection. His heart rate was also critically elevated. The good news is that he squeezed Cherri's (daughter) hand today! Praise the Lord. He is stable but still critical.

Thanks for your prayers. Please keep the blog comments coming.

Dear Raws Family and Keswick Family,

The larger family of faith around the world is praying for you. I hope you are finding encouragement and strength in the number of your brothers and sisters who love you and are praying for you.

Today I am praying that the Lord will renew your strength.

Thinking of you and praying for you everyday.

Dear Ruth and Family,
We continue to uplift Pastor Bill and you in prayer every day. Squeezing Cherri's hand was more than just a sign of hope. It was a powerful expression of love! If we can be of help in any way, just call.

Dear Ruth and family,
This hymn came to mind as I was praying for you and Bill today.

May you sense God's sufficiency and wisdom as you walk through this path.

Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
