Pray For Me, Please!

The weekend dispatch is being preempted today by a serious prayer request. I woke up about 1:30 Sunday morning with a incredible pain in my left side. I did not sleep a wink after that. As the night progressed we came to the conclusion that is probably a kidney stone.

We found about 7 AM that a hot compress would dull the pain a little bit. I spent most the day with that on my side. All in all I had about 20 hours of horrible pain and some up-and-down fever with bone jarring chills. 

I did some stretching exercises in the evening that are supposed to help move the stone along. The place where the stone seem to be all day is still very tender, but the pain has lessened as of Sunday night about 10 o’clock.

I was not able to go to church and preach either service Sunday. I appreciate Pastor John DiZazzo and his folks extending so much grace and mercy to us. We also canceled our three night meeting in Missouri this week.

Now we are figuring out how to get the bus home. We have some people offering to help us, but I hate for anybody to make a special trip. I am praying for a good nights rest tonight and then things will probably look different tomorrow by God’s grace. 

We walked over to the church during the altar service and have the folks pray for us. Praise God for His help. 

Please, please, please pray for us. Kelly Jo began texting people about 7 AM Eastern time and we heard from most of them multiple times in a day that they in their churches were praying. We appreciate that very much.
