The NIGH****CHMAN - Sunday - 6/21
Our day was kind of rough after the celebrating. So I will start off with the fun part. Went to church, stopped at Brad's (they overslept and did not make church) to say hi. Then left to go to Penny's house. Mary got on the cell phone and told them we were on our way. Penny said they were almost at our house. Thank God for cell phones, otherwise they would have been at our house, while we were at their's. We ended up going to Spring Creek BBQ for lunch, then to the house to watch the Rangers together. They lost.
Brad called and said Oleta had texted him to get in touch with the pastor, she needed to see him ASAP. Her mother took a turn for the worse. Oleta spoke with the pastor, and they are going to speak to the doc's either today or tomorrow about lessening the medications her mother is on, in an effort to get her in a more coherent condition to make decisions about what to do. Primarily regarding life support.
Please pray hard for Oleta during this time. Pray for Brad that he is there for Oleta. And pray for Mary. She has had the grandkids every day except 3, for the last 3 weeks. She has had little time to herself, but she keeps on going.
Sorry to babble on so long, I may be back later with more info.
Prayer requests are listed below.
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.
