THERE IS GOOD REASON TO PRAY WHEN GOD IS DIRECTLY...PLEASE READ this message from Catherine...whom I asked prayer for a few days ago...and pray for her and Pastor Mark...and their family...thank you!
hey everybody....
just got some sad news from home (Charlotte, NC)
my mom called a few hours ago to tell me that
my stepfather Bob died in a car accident this morning.
they think he had a massive heart attack and just lost
control of the vehicle.
Mark & I are heading to NC tomorrow (St. Patty's Day)
to be with my mom & family for a few days....
We'd really appreciate your prayers right now.
(sigh) this is a painful and powerful reminder that each day
is truly a gift of God and we never know when our time on earth
is up.....
God bless and thanks for taking the time to read this
(and pray for my family, if you so desire....)
Peace,

Thanks so much, remember Jesus said, "if two or more agree on anything on earth, it will be done for them in heaven, etc" - that's a paraphrase, but you know what he said!:) blessings, Rick
+ 1 - 1 | § ¶Sick as A DOG - again!
Thanks for the prayers...those who did and knew about my "food poisoning" again...this Monday/Tuesday. I ate fish again...and man, I think it will be the last time for a while...again. Last time, October 25th, 2006 - the day before I flew back to the States I had food poisoning from the "artifical crab" meat that was in my fridge too long, I suppose...this time, I purchased and cooked...some raw fish that is suppose to last 1 month...but maybe they meant in the freezer...I don't know. I kept it in the fridge...or it could have been the dried squid that I purchased and ate a lot of, that same day...Monday. Anyway, it wasn't good or comfortable for that night and most of Tuesday. However, the highlight was Tanya finally arrived...around 8pm, because of traffic she couldn't get here soon and helped prepare some soup for me...as I fasted/didn't want to eat...for about 24 hours from the time I started to feel sick Monday night. All that to say...DON'T EAT THE FISH HERE! I love Sushi here and have not gotten sick on it, but people are telling me that it all has worms here...there is no FDA like America...to test it. So, now I am more depressed because I have no outlet for fish...I don't think I will buy it from the stores any more and I don't think I will eat Sushi with worms...so there you are. What's a sick dog to do?
