Hi everyone....I know that most everyone here knows Texas Cowboy. This post just went up on Logan's thread...PLEASE join all of us in praying for his daughter.

I need to ask all of my family and friends to please come together in prayer for Texas Cowboy's daughter, Faith. Most of you know she has MS. She is having a really bad time right now and is in the hospital in ICU.

We have seen so many well wishes and the miracle of prayer come true.... and now TC and Faith need us.

Dear God, we come before You united in prayer asking for Your healing and mercy in behalf of Faith. Give her strength to overcome this present setback, and keep her safe and free from pain.

Grant Your healing powers to her. Assist her medical providers to greater knowledge and wisdom in her treatment.

And Father, please comfort TC and grant his wish for the health for his very precious daughter.

In Your name we pray......

Logan, Beth & Nana

And then, TC saw the post, and put this up.........

Faith went into ICU on Saturday for some tests to determine the cause of her seizures. MS is such a baffling disease!

They've thought for almost a year now that the seizures were caused by her MS, but now they think it may be heart related.

She still has the tubes in her neck where they did the blood cleansing, and they were concerned about infection. I don't know how long she will be there, but I'll be going out to California as soon as I can.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Yours will be mingling with mine.

God bless you.

Thanks everyone, BG.

I'm adding my prayers to the family here supporting her an her Dad!! I just got this in an email...

A true story by Josh and Karen Zarandona


Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go

rock climbing. Although she was very scared, she

went with her group to a tremendous granite

cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the

gear, took hold of the rope, and started up

the face of that rock.





Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a

breather. As she was hanging on there, the

safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and

knocked out her contact lens.





Well, here she is, on a rock ledge, with

hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet

above her. Of course, she looked and looked

and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge,

but it just wasn't there.





Here she was, far from home, her sight now

blurry. She was desperate and began to get

upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to

find it.





When she got to the top, a friend examined her

eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was

no contact lens to be found. She sat down,

despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting

for the rest of them to make it up the face of

the cliff.





She looked out across range after range of

mountains, thinking of that verse that says, "The

eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the

whole earth." She thought, "Lord, You can see

all these mountains. You know every stone and

leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens

is. Please help me."





Finally, they walked down the trail to the

bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of

climbers just starting up the face of the cliff.

One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody

lose a contact lens?"





Well, that would be startling enough, but you

know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving

slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it

on it's back.





Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist..

When she told him the incredible story of the

ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew

a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens

with the words, "Lord, I don't know why You want

me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and

it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You

want me to do, I'll carry it for You."





I think it would probably do some of us good to

occasionally say, "God, I don't know why you

want me to carry this load. I can see no good

in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if you want

me to carry it, I will."





God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the

called. Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of

existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning

each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing,

but with Him...I can do all things through

Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)
