A friend's son going to Iraq / My dad's back
PostPosted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 1:58 pm
My dad has known this friend who is a pastor for over 20 years. His son is all finished with his basic military training, so in two days he's is going to serve in Iraq. Please, pray hard for him that the Lord protects him.
Also, please pray for his dad. He lost his wife in about the mid-'90s I believe and he's never been the same. If his only son dies, I think it's going to crush him, and I'm not exaggerating. Please, pray hard for them both, they really need it in this time.
Finally, could you also continue to pray for my dad's back? He's still in a lot of pain (if you don't know the story, it was broken about 20 years ago). Today he would hurting so much he was pale-looking (he puts up with it very well, but he's constantly in pain) (it doesn't help though that we're getting a big weather front moving in. That always really makes his back hurt). Sometimes it's so bad it causes him to throw up. Thank God he's been approved for a special unit to be put in his back that should really reduce the pain and help a ton, but he's not scheduled to have the surgery for another month yet. Please, pray that God will work this all out to His glorious will and that He would help my dad's pain to be lower until the operation, and then that the operation would be blessed and not have any problems.
Thanks, and God bless.
