Late Night Calls

It's always terrifying to receive a late night phone call. It's hard to believe that your mind can process so many possible scenarios between two rings of a telephone.

The call was from a dear friend in the United States sharing news of a medical problem. The good news is that it's probably nothing serious or permanent. The bad news is that it's extremely scary, very annoying, and it's happening to a close friend - a sister in Christ.

Please include this friend of ours and her family in your prayers today. Yes, we're grateful that she's in the United States and can get the best medical care in the world. But that doesn't alleviate the "freak out" factor very much when it's happening to you! She has had a rough run of it lately and we pray that it's all nearing a very positive conclusion.

Lots of prayers headed from south to north this morning and we hope you'll join us. God knows who it is!

Thank you for your prayers and advice. Tye Mattox Leatherman was born early afternoon Monday. He weighed 5# 13oz, and is a handsome young man. Mom Bethany is also doing great. Dad Russ was a pro in the operating room after his OJT (on the job training) with the medical mission teams in Guatemala.
