A friend of ours, Shelly, has diabetes and has been experiencing complications for a good while. Tomorrow (10/21) she is having surgery to remove all of her toes on one foot. She is absolutely terrified. Please pray for her peace as well as a successful surgery and as quick of a recovery as possible. Also pray for her to be able to get her diabetes under control. She does not believe in God so I also pray that she finds him through all of her difficulties and finds the peace that only He can give.

Our friend, Omar, was diagnosed with Covid not quite a week ago. Today, he was put on a ventilator. He is in his 40s and totally healthy before this. He "should" be in the category of people who get it and it no more than a bad cold. Unfortunately, the virus doesn't care what it "should" do. He is the sole provider for his family. They moved here from India several years ago and became full US citizens just a few months ago. Please pray for a full recovery for Omar and his family. His daughter, Ziva, also had covid but appears to be recovered. Shemin, the mom, and Zuhayr, big brother, have not gotten the virus yet. Zuhayr suffered a major stroke about 4 years ago. He is a junior in high school now. I'm rather sure it would be very serious if he gets it since he was not able to fully recover from the stroke he had. Please lift this whole family in prayer.

Speaking of Hurricane Sally, there is a young man, Brad, who has been working on some steel screens for my yard (he does amazing work!). In the design process we have gotten to know each other and because he is a young man he feels a bit like a son. He wrote me on Wednesday to apologize (like he needed too) because his business had been destroyed by Sally. All the doors had been blown in, his equipment had been damaged, and he had no electricity but, in spite of that, he reached out to me. He said my order would be delayed. He apologized profusely. I told him no worries and that I would pray for him - so I am and I am hoping others will as well. Thanks.

I just wanted to update the post from August 13th regarding my children's former taekwondo teacher, Dave, and covid-19. After two rounds on breathing support and being in the ICU, he is now home with his family. I know he has a long road of recovery ahead of him but prayers for him surviving covid-19 and getting to go home have been answered.

My 94 yr old mother-in-law broke her fibula Saturday. She had surgery to repair on Tuesday. She had a bad case of shingles in May that has developed into PHN- severe random pain episodes along that site on her face and neck.

Is supposed to be discharged from Methodist West tomorrow to rehab floor at Kennybrook in Grimes. Of course no one can go to see her there because of the Covid shutdown.

Prayers for her and the staff there for their efforts to help her and that her PHN pain and leg pain to end.

Thank you so much
