Prayer Reqeust Update - 11/28 - 7:20pm

PRAISE:  Ed Bullard came through his heart surgery fine.  He was already off the vent yesterday afternoon and was sitting up in a chair.

I received this message from Sandy Keith today:  "My precious Mother passed from this life on Wed., Nov. 25. We are leaving in the morning to make the trip to Florida where she will be buried. Her service will be on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Jones Funeral Home, Keystone Heights, Florida. There will be a visitation from 10:00 to 11:00 am with graveside services following at the Keystone Cemetery there in Keystone Heights. We will return home next week-end.  My love to all our family at Lamar Avenue."

Prayer Request Update - 11/24 - 10:40pm

Ed Bullard will have a quadruple by-pass in the morning.  He is "scheduled" to go to surgery at 6:15am.

Lindsay McCarter will have day surgery tomorrow.

The Joe & Suzanne Steece family was featured in the Christian Chronicle a couple of years ago.  They had quads & Mom blogs often to let everyone know how the kids are developing.  (They had 3 boys, Ben, Andrew & Ethan and 1 girl, Savannah.)  Little Sav has had to have kidney surgery before, but, today she had surgery to "uncross" her eyes.  Click on this link to read about this little family.

A couple of weeks ago our Sharing & Caring Class was asked to send cards to a 5 year old little boy, Noah Biorkman, who had cancer and wasn't expected to live to see Christmas.  All he wanted was to receive Christmas cards!  His parents have reported that Noah lost his battle Monday (11/23) peacefully.   Please click here to see his sweet little face and the story.

Prayer Request Update - 11/24 - 11:13am

Ed Bullard did have a heart attack.  He is in PRMC/North - ICU Room 9.  They are doing a corroded artery sonogram, a gallbladder test and will be doing a heart cath.  Please keep Ed and the family in your prayers....also the doctors and nurses working on him.
