Hello, FRiends.
I've been here a long time and have been privileged to participate on a lot of prayer threads over the years. Never posted one, though -- I'm not even sure where to do so! So, if this needs to be moved, please do so.
My R/L situation doesn't permit me to post a lot of details, but the Lord knows those. I love Him with all of my heart and mind and soul and strength and I do try to always love my neighbor in the same way I love myself. And I know how powerful the prayers of God's people can be.
On Monday I'm having some major, difficult surgery, which is somewhat riskier than usual because I am not in the greatest health. If you would pray for me and my family, I would be so grateful. I humbly ask that you please pray for my safety through the surgery, a safe and smooth recovery, and a good prognosis.
I especially ask for prayer for our teenaged son. This is one of those "my world is being rocked" moments for him. He's a committed Christian with a precious love for Jesus. Please pray that he experiences God's strength and comfort in a new and deeper, maturing way through this situation.
Thank you very much and God bless you for your faithfulness to Him and the needs of others, including those in the body of Christ.

Praying for you, your son, all of your family, your surgeon(s) and nursing staff. God bless you all.
Lord, please be with fightinJAG and his family during this difficult time.
Let them realize that You give each of us a certain time on this earth, and that even a relatively short life serving You is far greater than a long life outside of You grace.
Our hearts are with you all. We are joined as brothers and sisters through the spirit of God.
Thank You, Lord,
For Your healing Ways
Through all of our trials,
Your gentle touch stays
You give us our freedom,
To follow, or not
Just waiting and watching
As we wend our own plot
Listening for us
To call out Your name
As we pray that our lives
Will ne’er be the same
When ever we stumble
Whenever we fall
You’re there to forgive us
To help us stand tall
Thank You, Father
For letting this child
This “forever foundling”
That You let run wild
You bring us all, hopefully
Back to the fold
And lovingly tend us
A love that’s untold
Amen.
