Please say a Prayer for “Parker”

Nothing bad but just deja vu… Parker is headed back up to KC at 5 a.m. again for more doctor appointments… Praying for travel mercies and good news. Would’ve sent this sooner but just came in house when my mom called that she had been bitten by a bug. Lots of brown recluse around so I went to see. She had it in a container and luckily it wasn’t a brown. Still not sure what it is but I believe it’s a kissing bug.


They bite really hard or that’s what mom said that it did. They spread a disease called Chaga. Hopefully she doesn’t get that. However the comparison between this bug and another similar bug left me wondering if it is or isn’t one. So it’s been a weird ending to a great day! Spent all weekend cleaning out my garage preparing for bad weather. Sadly Jeep and the Tacoma won’t fit in garage together…. Sorry Jeep!

 

Parker says thanks!

 

I really appreciate it, as does my mother! I haven’t been able to get much time to come onto the forum… Today we got some good news when I went to visit mom and she was still connected to oxygen but she was off the ventilator! They had to do a tracheotomy last week, to connect the ventilator and give her more time on it. But it’s looking like she might be able to get weaned off of it (again). Praise Jesus!

That’s an amazing story, and it sounds to me like he went at just the right time to be with the Lord. Even the penitent thief crucified beside Jesus made a good decision at the end that resulted in his eternal happiness. Sounds like your father and mother raised you right too. I think sometimes the older generation is a little more private about their faith. I know that was a case with my mother, but now every time before I leave her room we enjoy praying together, it’s gotten us through a lot of tough times in my life.

Go Parker!

 

Praise The Lord indeed! So many things seem important in life but only LOVE is! God is LOVE and WE need to show LOVE. At each and every opportunity! Not the perversion the world has turned that word into… but genuine LOVE for strangers, friends and enemies too! Make GOD, Jesus and the Holy Spirit super happy today. When God says how about my servant “ENTER YOUR NAME HERE”, He smiles and gives the thumbs up!


Or WOMAN!
However sadly we only know of one of those that died on the cross next to Jesus who entered Paradise. It’s possible up and until the last heartbeat of the remaining thieve that he repented and asked Jesus via prayer to forgive him of his sins. We should open the door Jesus is knocking on in our lives today not tomorrow but today! May God Bless you!

 

Mikey how’s your Son doing? Parker is good! Glad your Mom is doing good Brian! Give her a kiss from all of us. I’d tell you to give your Boy a kiss Mikey but he might slug ya… so just give him a hug.

 

I have another sad story… My Cousin died at 33 and funeral was Sunday. Won’t mention her name but she was greatly loved by those in attendance. I’d like Prayers for the family and more for those in attendance. One girl practically brought me to tears as she described what my Cuz meant to her life. This girl was up front summoning all her strength to tell her story. How she came to the town and she went to class that day petrified! She obviously had it hard in life prior to that day. Anyway as she entered the classroom and made her way to the back my Cuz kicked out a chair and said sit by me! From that day on they were best friends. My Cuz was a bit of a Hippie but a Hippie that loved Jesus! I seemed to only see her at funerals but I was very impressed with her and wished to be more like her in zeal. She was an off the scale happy person! Anyway she made a big difference in her friends lives but I’m thinking had little luck introducing them to Jesus. Her friends were a wide range of people from Goth to Hippies to those with spouses, kids, careers, 401k’s and a mortgage. The girl I’m talking about had fangs… yup fangs. She definitely seemed sadly lost and an outcast even after high school. However she seemed to be a genuinely good person and I pray for her to find Jesus. Her other friends seemed angry and just wanted to be weird and recruit more to do the same. Fanged girl seemed to be different and her story was touching. Most kids don’t realize that the high school years will end! That you don’t have to dress like that and should put that look behind you after high school is in rear view mirror. Why? Because there is an after high school life ahead… dressing and looking like that just means you wish to continue your isolation and want to be looked at as odd. I honestly don’t think they are happy and when they come into contact with us are turned away. So as mentioned earlier love those who cross our paths because that may be the only love they ever experience. I gave her a hug and told thanks for telling her story and my cousins too. Sadly my Cousin was unmarried and left behind a 1 year old to be raised by Grandma and Grandpa. Pray for them also they will need the Prayers.

 

I will add a praise report and request if you don’t mind. I spent 25 years as a bi-vocational ordained minister, until I felt God calling me into public education. It is truly a mission field that is desperately in need of his love and grace. 9 years ago I graduated with my second bachelors and stepped into the classroom. 5 years ago I completed my Masters and stepped into an assistant principal position. Today I was announced to the district as the new principal for an award winning elementary school. Gods hand was in this process and I am incredibly grateful for this gift of his provision and affirmed in his calling. I would ask that you keep me in your prayers as I walk these next steps out. God is good! Please know that I will pray for all of you as well.

 

Brian, thanks for sharing! I will definitely keep them all lifted up in prayer … as an aside, I always hate how it seems it often takes someone’s death to really learn about them, or to get groups of family and friends together. :/

 

Congratulations Mark! That is wonderful news and I wish you lots of continued success and favor!

 

Thank you. Finding his favor is the greatest gift of all. When you find that…everything else just seems to follow.

 

Thanks for asking! My son is back to work, has been for a while now. See's the docs monthly and has to keep a record of BP, heart rate and pulse-ox readings. Glad to hear Parker is well, but sorry to learn about your cousin! Praised be Jesus!

 

Lindsey just called and Parker had a seizure. They called 911.

Hopefully she’ll be fine but it’s still best to Pray!

 

Prayers lifted up

 

Praying

 

Bump in the road. She’s good

 

Lord Jesus, please look down on little Parker and heal all of her afflictions! Please allow her to stay with us until a ripe old age!

 

No new news… she’s fussy but that’s it for now. Thanks for the Prayers!

 

Rhinovirus is current culprit. Parker is still in Hospital and not feeling well. Daughter is in need of Prayer also it’s super rough on her when Parker is sick.

 

You got it.

 

Was Babysitting #2 Gboy today while wife went to hospital. Parker is coming home tonight! However this seems to be an ongoing thing. It’s to be expected that Parker will have issues but more worried about Daughter she isn’t able to handle all of this and it’s causing her to be sick. She’s a worrier and got that special skill from her mom. She’s doing her best but please continue to Pray for other issues to subside. Maybe Parker’s problems won’t be as devastating to her that way. I feel for her but there isn’t anything I can do that’ll take her fears away. I don’t mean it to sound bleak but some can’t handle problems very well. Especially the problems of their children. Please continue to Pray and for all here as well. Because lots of folks have Prayer concerns… and need help from above.
