Friday the 13th

Friday, the 13th. It brings negative thoughts to mind I bet. It shouldn't. I was born on Friday, the 13th. A friend also. Many born, many die. Surgeries, tests, job starts and endings. Life goes on.

I especially thought of writing because of individuals requesting prayer. I thought of names and thought I would list them here and perhaps you too would pray for them.

  • There is my husband Jim, who is scheduled to have his fifth MRI tomorrow morning. MRIs are costly tests - $2500 for each and this is no. 5 just this year. Of course our deductible has been met. And of course, so far with each successive MRI, the swannoma tumor the doctors are looking for cannot be found. There is one somewhere, because that is what is felt is causing his pain. So I pray the results will be positive.
  • A friend, Jan, is having eye surgery tomorrow. She and her family operate a funeral home. She has been told she has to lay flat on her stomach for seven days.
  • Jan's husband Short has recently been diagnosed with acute leukemia.
  • An elderly neighbor of friends George and Jani has also been diagnosed with leukemia
  • Molly McCoy, wife of Steve McCoy (http://www.stevekmccoy.com), whose blog I just happened across, was recently diagnosed with chiari malformation, which affects her brain functions. She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow.

As the Lord leads, His will be done. Amen.
