I have a friend who was in a bicycle accident last night. He landed on his head and is in very bad shape. There is bleeding in the brain and they are not sure if he is going to make it.

Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Calling the Prayer Warriors to gather around Warren's bedside in prayer and supplication ...

Father, I pray you will make something beautiful out of Warren's life for your glory. I pray that this accident will not take his life. We unite as one to ask for a complete healing in Jesus' Name, amen.

start trimming the fat, swapping out (and figure the weights).

Cut out the bull, cut out the cow, the sheep; substitute goats with hair long enough to be worth cutting. You didn't forget shears did ya?

Keep the blacksmiths shop, but trim it down to anvil & a minimum of tools - bellows that must be made.

Mad Max.

Scratch anything made of wood. However, a small supply of wrought-iron stock is essential.

The Harvestor becomes a scythe with a wooden handle and cradle, thee spare blades (scratch the field rake)

Keep the windmill (and sawmill). Just try to keep the hardware to a minimum.

Books? Which ones can you live without? If you don't read, that shouldn't be a big issue; you won't have time to read.

Forget half the clothes you intended, double up on the amount of shoes, add the boots you need. Did you forget about childrens shoes? Are you going to rely on mocassins, mukluks, and such?

Add waxed thread.

Oh, did you forget block & tackle? What about glass & plastic lines? Rembember by this time that money means nothing: BUT CUBAGE DOES.

D'oh: bring an axe and a hatchet!

Scrap the axe. Bring a maul & various wedges. AND axe.

Yarn? Did anybody bring yarn? O.k. hold the fort: nothings falling apart just because somebody forgot to bring yarn?

Hey! What up? With that? Lets go! Lets go! Lets go!

Please post your replies to murdoog

murdoog, My prayers going up for Warren and his family. God's protection and healing for Warren...God's comfort for his family.  

Blessings,

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

[trussell]

Are you sure you posted this to the right thread?

[sweetiepiezer]

So sorry to hear that, prayers offered.

[murdoog]

I got a report last night and while Warren is far from out of the woods, he is doing much better than expected. He's in and out of consciousness and he is moving his arms and legs. (I had been really concerned about that last part).

He was wearing a helmet. Extrapolating from his current condition, I feel very confident saying he would be dead if he had not been wearing a helmet. All cyclists should keep that in mind.

Thank you God for taking care of Warren, and also thank all of the people who responded to this prayer request. You guys are great

[AnAmericanMother]

Wow! That is excellent news. If he can weather the first 48 hours, he has a much, much better chance. Partial consciousness and movement are also very good.

Thank you St. Jude for favors received.

We'll continue prayers here.

[Bahbah]

Prayers for Warren's full and rapid recovery.

[Pegita]

Unto You, O Lord, we return with praise and thanksgiving for Your mercy upon Warren. May he continue to improve daily, to the delight of his medical team, family and friends. May he be restored unto the fullness of health, O God, that he might continually praise and glorify You for Your goodness and mercy.

Blessed be Your Name, now and forevermore. Amen ...

[QuiMundus]

Prayer offered up from another cyclist in CT. May God's perfect will be done... And may your heart be at peace as well...

[deport]

Good news and continued prayers for Warren and his family.

[r9etb]

Good news. Praying for continued healing for Warren...

[tiki]

Prayers for your friend.

[OldFriend]

Will keep praying for the best outcome. Full recovery.

Just as an aside as to the miracles worked by the man above.

In CO a young man fell 800 ft. down an icy mountain. He survived with a broken shoulder and leg. He said he thought he was dead. Some brave people risked their lives to get him off the mountain. He said he believes g-d watched over him. He's right.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Prayers sent for your friend.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Thank you for the update, I posted before I read it, sending more prayers of Thanksgiving and for complete restoration for Warren.
