The NIGH****CHMAN 5/10

Good evening all.  It was a pretty decent day.  Lunch at Brad's with the family.  The Rangers won.  Played two games of Yahtzee and won them both. 

I will check back later.

Prayer requests are listed below.

I do ask that you keep me updated on requests.  Often.  Please. 

Also, please feel free to just visit here.  Tell us about how your day went.  Your successes.  Your failures.  Your fun.  Whatever.  When I post this thread, I do not have access to any chat programs, so this sometimes substitute as that vessel for me.

Continue to keep your thoughts and prayers for the members of our Armed Forces serving around the world, especially during this time of increased awareness.  Please thank God for these men and women every day.  In addition, please keep the wives and family members in your thoughts.

Three wonderful people - Ramon, Yvonne, and Debra - are having their conference in May (15-17) in Galveston.  Prayers for a successful weekend of paying it forward.

I am just asking that you pray for Isaac Xavuer Vasques-Grimmett. He is a precious little boy who has been through a whole lot of difficult times in his 5 short years. We are praying for a miracle but if we can't get that... For God's mercy and grace to keep this precious little boy and his family from suffering too much.

Hi George;

I'm having my usual Sunday night panic. It's compounded by the fact that Michael's leaving for Atlanta in the morning. I'll be on my own until Friday afternoon. I've got a large list of things to do so hopefully I'll be able to keep busy.

We had breakfast with my mom and stepdad and then we finished painting the guest room today. One more room done and closer to having the house on the market. We weren't able to put the furniture back in it, so it will all be in the living room until Michael gets back on Friday.

Have a good night. Prayers for all who need them.

You are never on your own, as long as we are around.

George,
I just talked to my co worker and they are flying out tomorrow going to St. Judes. There is some clinical trial that Isaac is eligible for so they will be going for that. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and ask that you continue to pray that this trial will help him to get well and he won't have to do Chemo anymore after this. We just want this little boy to get well so bad!!.
Thank you again to everyone who has been praying for him. He is still a sick little boy but at least he is getting to go and see if something can be done somewhere else to help him get well.
Thanks again everyone!!
