After open heart surgery, new Aortic valve, and a pace maker, God has chosen to add another challenge; small cell lympathitic lymphoma, which translates to blood cancer. Need prayers that this new condition remains under control and does not spread. The doctors remain positive that it will remain under control. No medication at this time. Thorough 6 month checkups are scheduled.

Please pray for my sister who has been transferred to the ICU in Iowa City with double pneumonia due to covid. They currently have her connected to two oxygen machines to keep her levels up.

My mother in law Jene Valle lives in Louisiana and is having some major health issues. She can no longer live on her own and has been temporarily placed in a care center down there until she is well enough to be moved to a center in Iowa. My husband Richard and his brother are down there trying to clean out her house and put her affairs in order. It is an arduous and daunting task. To make matters worse, she is not accepting the fact that she can no longer live on her own and is resisting every effort to help her.

Please pray for her health and also for my husband and brother that they get the answers they need and that they can keep their patience while dealing with an impossible task.

My grandson, Everett (7) asked the question; “will I go to heaven (or something of that nature). He is not presently being taken to Sunday school; I was at a loss for a meaningful answer and simply responded that it was a difficult question for me. I did have the opportunity to speak with his Mom (our daughter-in-law) later in the day. I mentioned to her that Everett could be told Heaven is where a great treasure is (a store house of all good). He is wise to want this “good”!

I know my comments were inadequate. Everett needs to know that trusting in Jesus is the only way!

I think that most effectively would come from his parents.
