FURTHER Prayer Request and Update for:
Aidyn, and his family

UPDATE
Our little guy is now back home after scaring everyone half silly. He was running 104.9 rectally but it is coming down and he was stable when they decided to send him back home. Courtny is to give him ibuprofen and tylenol, alternating them to keep him comfortable. He has a virus, according to his own pediatrician who saw him at the hospital, that will have to work its way out. His asthma also kicked in. Poor little fellow is having a lousy time. Thank you for your prayers on his behalf. ~Sue


ORIGINAL PRAYER REQUEST
Got a phone call from our Granddaughter, Courtny. Her son, Aidyn Mikel, was being taken to the hospital by ambulance. He had 103 fever. He had not felt good over the week end and had diarhea. I thought at the time it could have been something he ate. He had munched down on some pizza that the adults thought might have caused the same problem for them. I haven't heard from her since the phone call asking for prayer for him, so will update as soon as she fills me in. He will be 2 years old August 5th. His Grammy is also asking for prayers for this little guy. Thanks Warriors. ~Sue

FURTHER Prayer Request and Update for:
Natalie Belmonte's family

Harriet, my dear, see below from Ana regarding Natalie Belmonte’s family. This is a very painful case, now the Natalie’s adopted son, who in reality is her nephew, was charged with her murder. This family will need to be covered in prayer for the days ahead will be painful. Thank you again for your and the prayer warrior’s faithfulness to the Lord’s service. God bless! ~Millie Ramos

MESSAGE FROM ANA

It’s been a very difficult week and today we said our final farewell to Natalie in a beautiful mass and the outpour from all friends and family has been overwhelming. I took Natalie’s mom after the service home and had some personal time with her and she is an amazing woman blessed with a beautiful family and she is holding on to our Lord very much. Natalie’s brother, Reggie, is a believer and he spoke beautifully about our Lord Jesus at yesterday’s service and this morning and I am confident that our Lord is doing great things in this family. They are a very close and united family and I reminded Cheryl today that He does not give you more than you can handle and her family is very strong and blessed and they are all going to get through this.

Please thank everyone for their prayers and love and just ask them that to continue to keep the Belmonte and Lopes’ family in their prayers since after everyone goes back to their normal routine, this family will need to be even more covered with prayer as life continues. Thanks for everything my friend! ~Ana

Update on doctor's visit. For those of you that know my son please at this time do not repeat this to him or his wife. Things did not go well Friday. We were there for 3hrs waiting for answers and got none.Did more blood test relunctly. I was very very upset. They wanted to over ride my doctor here and they told us they didn't have the reports back, not so, I checked ahead of time They want to see me back in Oct. I will not be returning!!! I'am going to trust that I have made the right choice. They still think there is still something there and they are probably right, but I serve a MIGHTY GOD it's in His hands. We don't want Matt to know right now because he needs his attention on Theo and Amber.
Pray for them they found out today that Theo is being bull headed about coming.. He is breeched right now pray that he will turn himself upside down. Thank you. ~Debby

Thank you prayer warriors for your prayers! I went thru the upper GI test really good, although no report on the test as of yet, and the barium wasn’t so bad after all J

I am sorry that I did not update everyone sooner, but the dental procedure was cancelled till the 10th of Aug. So I continue to have pain in my tooth. So please continue to pray that the root is not cracked and that all will go OK when I finally have the gum cut open. But the good news is that my regular dentist said he is going to pay half of the bill that the specialist charges since it is not covered by my insurance, praise the Lord!!! My dentist is amazing, he has cut so many charges in half for me over the years, what a blessing, only God!!! Pray also as I go on Aug. 2nd to CMH lab to have a tube put down my nose that has to stay there for 24 hours as they measure stuff going on in my stomach. I then return the next day to have it taken out, this doesn’t sound so fun, yuck! So pray that it doesn’t hurt and that I can tolerate it and that nothing major is going on in my stomach. Pray for healing in my body overall.

Thank you so much and to God be the glory! Heaven on Earth, God’s will be done J

Update on Vince: In regards to below, Rhonda did get a ticket, thanks to a friend, but please also pray for financial provision as I have been told that the place Vince is at is not covered by his insurance. This is a very tuff time for the Vince and his family please pray for a miracle. To God be the glory!

UPDATE FROM RHONDA

Rhonda just called and the news is not good. The Doctors say that the cancer is terminal as it has spread to his lungs and liver. They’re getting him a room and just keeping him comfortable as they don’t feel his has much time left. Rhonda and family are of course, devastated. Rhonda is trying to get a ticket to fly back, so please pray for God’s provision. We know that God’s healing power is so much greater than any diagnosis that Doctors pronounce and I believe that God can intervene and give a miracle healing. Please keep Vince, Rhonda and the entire family in your prayers as they are desperately needed. I’ll keep you updated as I receive news.

FURTHER Prayer Request and Update for:
Karen and Richard Carmichael
Ventura, California

Hi all,
Just a quick update on my crazy body. The medication that I started at the end of June for fatigue seemed to work okay. However I developed "hot flashes" twice a day a few days after starting the medication. I am on Hormone Replacement Therapy so having hot flashes just shouldn't be happening. However after stopping the medication the hot flashes have continued. The vitamin D supplement is working great. I have really begun to notice a difference in my outlook the last week or so, which is great to be back to normal in that aspect of my life.

I had another Epidural on Friday. The pain had reached the point of unbearable on and off each day. I am glad I had it done. I am already noticing a difference and should reach full benefit in the next day or two.

I see my Rheumatologist on Tuesday and the Pain Management Doctor on Wednesday this week. At the first appointment we are going to go over my medication list and try and identify what is causing the hot flashes. At the pain doctor it will be the regular monthly appointment.

Please pray that the cause of the hot flashes is figured out and that a medication to battle fatigue get started again..

God Bless,
~Karen

P.S. Please pray that Richard gets back to his second teaching job in mid-August, Oxnard College goes back August 20.

We are doing ok so far and praying for relief from the high temps. It is very hot and humid. I pray the electric stays on. Supposed to be 115 today. There is no breeze out this morning. The birds are hid in our big tree.

Doctor said yesterday that he heard no pneumonia in Bill's lungs just the wheezing from the interstitial fibroses. I praise and thank our Lord for healing the pneumonia . Bill has lost 10 pounds since he has been sick although he has a good appetite. He is very weak and has to have help walking.
Our daughter in law, Lorrie, who is a registered nurse, drove us to the doc and also stopped at the Olive Garden and picked up our dinner for last evening, with enough food left over for today. Our son, Chris, went to the grocery store for us yesterday. We are blessed and thankful to our Lord God for His many blessings to us.

Paul, and his family
Ventura County, California

Hi there!!!
Just wanted to give you the latest on my Dad. When I got to the hospital this morning before I went to work he told me he had a rough night. Apparently, he had what is called ventricular tachycardia. Because he has so much equipment monitoring him they caught it in time and were able to get everything under control. When I went back this evening to the hospital he was looking tired but when I brought him some magazines he perked up and began reading them to me. He was hoping to be in rehab by now but the cardiologist has him in this unit until he is 48 hours free of incident so we have about 30 more hours to go~Please continue to agree Jeremiah 30:17a "For I will restore health to you and heal your of your wounds,"
Please also be praying for my brother who is continuing to look for work and has high anxiety. Psalm 107:13-16
Thank you for all your prayers and caring. They have helped to sustain us as the Lord walks us through this. Now, I'm going to get some sleep! Psalm 3:5 Sofia

Give us understanding, O God, to know Thy ways, and circumcise our hearts to fear Thee. Before we call Thou wilt answer. Blessed be Thou, O Abba Father who hearest prayer..

My desire is for it to be normal, but God may have other plans. If it doesn't I have decided to leave things as is. God has been with me so far, the road has not been easy, but His ways are always better, not always easy. I have done much better lately, can't get outside because the heat is bad pray for that to.

FURTHER Prayer Request and Update for:
Dana and Robert, and their unborn babies

I am so happy to send this note out. Blue Ridge Prayer Warrior Janet called me a few minutes ago with an update on her prayer request for her grandson and granddaughter. After the devastating news this morning, they returned home, prayed all morning, went back to the doctor's office this evening and informed him of their decision. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO ABORT THE BABY! They told him that God placed it there and He would take care of it no matter what. Either way, they would accept His decision, but they would not abort the baby. The doctor looked at them and said:
"I think it would be best to abort this fetus, but the problem could straighten itself out in 5-6 weeks." So please keep Dana and Robert in your prayers and the two babies that Dana is packing that both will thrive and survive 4½ more months to full gestation and she will deliver 2 healthy, happy babies. God answered our prayer even before it was asked. Praise and Glory to His name.

Hi Friends & Family,
If you don't already know my Dad went into St. John's early Monday morning for a Aortic Valve replacement. The surgery went great but Thursday morning he had a large stroke on the left side of his brain which affected his language.
We are asking all of our praying friends to please pray for his complete healing AND salvation AND acknowledgement of God's miraculous healing!
If you happen to ask your praying friends to pray I'd love to know because we are making a little map for him to see all the places that people are praying for him. So far we have 4 states and several countries touching God's throne room. God has been SO faithful and loving. We are all learning a lot through this process.
Thank you for holding us up. Your prayers have been an incredible source of strength for us.

HI
Thanks for your prayers.. Kim called and Goodie is on her way home tonight.. All tests were made and she has been diagnosed with COPD and is taking oxygen home with her.. they said if the pill had lodged in her lung the other night it "could" have dissolved before she got to the hospital since there was a long delay getting her there.. she had been unable to breathe at all without the oxygen so the pill could have damaged the lung? Her only lung! Speculation, since no pill was found but sounds reasonable since she had such a time breathing (and still does without the oxygen)..
Praise God , he was there with her and directed the doctors and medical personnel throughtout the ordeal!

Sorry, but I have not been online for several days. This came in on Callie and I missed it. Keep her in your prayers, please, as this has come up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 18th, hopefully sooner - strep again.

UPDATE Jun 16, 2011 3:01pm
Well after the ENT visit and surgeon visit, they fit her in for July 18th. This is concerning because her strep incidents are hitting faster and more furious. She was diagnosed again today and hasn't even been off antibiotics for 5 days from the last bout. This time, she got a shot of penicillin in the leg. The only antibiotic left is one the doc said was extremely nasty to the gut, often causing colitis. This will be disastrous for the few inches of intestine Callie actually has which really hasn't fully recovered from the last 3 rounds of antibiotics. She just has it continually. I don't want her to be sick on the 18th and then they postpone. The surgeons office never faxed Dr. B (her PCP) her info from the visit so Dr. B can't call and petition that she get in for surgery at an earlier date. I've made several calls but haven't heard back. Please pray Callie can get this procedure earlier. Callie is in good spirits right now. I am grateful for you prayers. I'll keep you updated about if we get in any earlier.
Will update,

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Charity is starting into the canyon 7:16. No trouble with her car from our home to the canyon. Treacherous driving in the canyon, no cell phone reception, and her messed up car. So all prayers are appreciated. If we haven’t heard from her by 10:16 we will head ourselves for the canyon…

12,000 people are displaced in her area. She says that the fire moved away from the border patrol station, so that is where she is headed.

Arizona

WALLOW (our area):

“The fire weather conditions include continued low dew point values, record or near-record heat and powerful winds. Wind gusts around the now infamous Wallow Fire will approach 50 or even 60 mph on Saturday and Sunday. Extensive safety precautions must be in place as these vicious winds will create life-threatening conditions for all personnel waging a fight against the fires. The winds may be so ferocious on Saturday and Sunday that attempts to gain some containment on the various wildfires could prove futile. Moreover, with winds fanning flames, smoke will become more widespread especially across the state of New Mexico. Air quality will continue its decline over parts of the Southwest including Albuquerque.” http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/arizona-wildfires-maps-air-quality_2011-06-16

Earl and I do so appreciate your prayers for the protection of these areas, as well as St. Johns and our city, Concho. We presently have an average wind speed here of 33 mph. Gusts are probably 40-45, and the wind has been gradually worsening.

MONUMENT (our daughter’s area):

The wind is 20-25 in Hereford with heavier gusts averaging 28mph. It sounds like the situation is deteriorating again around our daughter’s home. Our friend, Bill, almost laughed a couple days ago when I asked if they might be evacuating. (I had misread something.) He said that he was in the middle of Sierra Vista and was quite safe. He sent an email today saying that he is in pre-evac.

(All the stress about us hasn’t helped, I’m sure.) Thank you so much.

I appreciate all of you and your prayers. Bless you!

Good news on Ray


What a difference a day makes (sounds like a song). He's much better today and alert; however, he is still having a lot of pain in his knee. He's on antibiotics, as he has a slight temperature. Dr. Nickel was going to come in today, we thought. He's not getting therapy, so that is a worry. He had two units of blood last night and whatever is in his drip for sodium. We'll see how he does during the night with pain.

Thanks so much for prayers.

UPDATE FROM KEVIN
Hi, just want to give you an update on Spanky. He had a check up with a new vet on Monday. She said his lungs sounded very good and was happy that she could hear his heart throughout his body. She said that means that little or no fluid is around his heart at this time. She did may it clear that this tumor is very tough and has a lot of blood vessels that could rupture causing fluid but cant predict the timing. I am continuing The holistic approach as it seems to be helping. He has energy like normal and is on an all protein diet! (He eats better meals than me!) I am going to get x-rays and an echocardiogram done in 2-3 weeks to see if there is any changes in the tumor. ill keep you posted.

Love up, Kevin

Charity Anderson, and her parents
Arizona

This was the decision of Charity and Earl—not mine. Earl and Charity left to pick up her car. Charity will drive it back here to our home. If she doesn’t have significant trouble with it—getting it here—she plans on driving it back down to her work area tomorrow. Two mechanics from a distance (different companies) both said that they believe that a chip needs to be replaced. The chip, they say, signals that something is wrong that really isn’t. The signal shuts down the engine—to protect it. They both believe that the car is drivable without any damage to its engine, etc. The episodes are very sporadic. She got all the way through the Salt River Canyon yesterday without one, whereas she had about three from her home to the Salt River Canyon. She won’t be on any freeways, so if she has any more trouble, she can pull off and start the engine.

She plans to leave at dawn’s early light (miss church, sadly) so she can get through the worst of the driving before it gets hot. And, yeah, she will bring a lot of water. Sigh.

The big problem is that her car is having specific Saturn issues, and she doesn’t trust them up here to help her. She wants the car to go to her friend whom she does trust. He’s a sweet old guy who would do just about anything for Charity. He even suggested that he might drive up here to tow her car back to his place. Charity wouldn’t do that to him, though. He says that if he is correct about what is wrong it should be only a hundred dollar repair.. Of course he could be wrong. But the story that the guy up here gave is full of holes. Both places that she checked with elsewhere said that the car couldn’t drive at all if her “throttle body” had burned.

So, she leaves in the morning unless God says otherwise. She can get no information on whether her home is standing. She thinks it is. But there are to be horrific winds both today and tomorrow down there. Whether the firefighters can hold the line is one huge question. We’re in the same situation up here, although we are farther from the flames. But we’re supposed to get bad winds this afternoon and seriously bad winds tomorrow. We’re in God’s hands. Your prayers are huge right now. Thank you.

PS Charity plans on moving into a motel down there near the border patrol station. She got a room for tomorrow night and will see how things go from there. The motel is within walking distance of her work. (It is used almost exclusively by those at the border patrol.) Her mechanic friend’s garage is only blocks away. She figures that this area will be home until she can figure out what to do. Your prayers are so huge right now that God will lead her and protect her. Thank you ever so much.

Please pray for Ray, he has had knee replacement surgery a week ago and it isn't going well ~Hemi

UPDATE FROM MARILYN FINK

Ray Fink was taken by ambulance to CMH today around 12 noon. He was disoriented, agitated and delusional. He was admitted to Room 405 around 5:30. His sodium was low, as well as "red blood cells," not exactly the way they said it. Also, the Norco they were giving him (I believe) played a big part in his condition. Anyway, he lies with his eyes closed and his hands constantly moving. He's trying to sing some, but we can't make out the words or tune exactlty. Fortunately, his oldest daughter, Sharon, from Pasadena, was there with me when the doctor for the Victoria Care Center told the charge nurse by phone to call 9-1-1. Pastor Dave came to the E.R. around 1:00 or 1:30 to greet and pray. Fortunately, Ray will not remember this; however, his pain will return and they have to decide what to give him. They were going to give him 2 units of blood tonight, but he has a temperature and they are giving antibiotics first.
Thanks to all for your prayers.

Charity just arrived at a Quality Inn for the night in Globe.. It wasn’t easy but we found a motel that would take her and her dogs. Earl plans to drive down there tomorrow (118 miles) and pick her up. They plan to leave the car at the GM dealership there in Globe and return (118 miles) here. Thank you for your prayers. Please pray that our car will behave. That’s the good news.

The town of Eagar is back on pre-evac. So, we’re back to needing prayer again for our area. The evac is primarily being called because the winds are just plain miserable. So, an ember from the Wallow Fire could touch off a firestorm. We aren’t out of the woods yet, people. Thank you for your prayers for us. I am going to need prayer especially because I will be by myself out here for most of the day tomorrow with access to no one to help me or a means of evacuation.

UPDATE June 16, 2011 3:04 pm

SHE'S OUT! Thank you for your prayers. As soon as she got out, I guess, they declared a mandatory evacuation for her area. Her next-door neighbors did get out. I don’t know and may never know about the lady who refused to leave. The fire moved so fast once it got over the 92. That is our concern up here, as well. One spark and this whole area would be up in flames and especially in these kinds of winds. We have to trust the Lord that He will take care of us. One day at a time.

If anyone is good at checking out road closures, could someone see if there is a problem for her getting through from Globe to Show Low? Appreciate the help. I have to confess I’m coming to the end of my reserves emotion-wise. It’s been a long couple weeks… Love and appreciate all of you more than I could EVER express. You are so precious to me.

URGENT Prayer Need: Some people ran back into the evacuated zone. At last word, the sheriffs / police were trying to get them out. Please pray that all will safely get out.

UPDATE: June 15, 2011 2:28 pm

Charity said the flames were coming to fast, so she didn’t wait for the evacuation order. She and her next-door neighbors got out. The problem is that there is a long line of traffic trying to flee the area. So, please pray that all these cars can safely get out. She said she would call as soon as she gets clear of the fire.

Her plan is to drive up here. I didn’t argue with her. I think she needs to put space between her and the nightmare. Her boss understands.

UPDATE: June 16, 2011 2:03 pm

The flames are moving fast…

Charity’s elderly neighbor absolutely refuses to get out. Charity was trying to reason with her and even gave her a cat cage for her cat. But she says she won’t go. Please pray that the firefighters / sheriffs can get her out. I told her that she couldn’t stay if the woman refuses to go. She knows, but she is agonized by this.

Charity is waiting for her next-door neighbors to get out with her. She wants to make sure that they are out before she goes. They’re still packing up some last things. Thank you for your prayers for all of them…

UPDATE: June 15, 2011 am

Appreciate your prayers that Charity and all her neighbors get out okay. She sounded very calm, so your prayers are at work. Thank you. PS She says she wants to stay for now to make sure that her elderly neighbors are out okay.

A gas station about a mile away just blew up—flames that seem a hundred feet in the air apparently.

She’s getting the dogs… Earl has a few more things to wrap up and is headed home. I appreciate your prayers for him. He sounded tense. Thank you. - - Gayle

UPDATE FOR CHARITY: June 15, 2011 pm
Charity is still in pre-evac.. The fire hasn’t jumped the highway. Thank You, Father. And may God bless these wonderful firefighters.
It looks like she has a kennel lined up for the dogs if she needs to evacuate. If that doesn’t work she has a coworker who offered to take them.

So, we will probably not go down there tonight. Maybe tomorrow. As it turns out there is a crisis with some gal who needs help (with New Hope Ranch). So, we may have to drive her somewhere tonight out of the area (an hour there). We’re waiting on more information that should come in the next hour.

If you can believe this, Charity is on-call at work, and there is some server issue, I guess, that they wanted her to deal with…

Right now, I don’t know what will happen with her situation, so Earl and I do appreciate your prayers for her. ~Gayle


UPDATE FOR CHARITY:June 15, 2011 am

Charity is home and watching the situation carefully. She is packed and ready to go. They are evacuating a mile south of her. Until she receives her evac-tag she apparently can’t bring her dogs to the one place that she found that will take them. She has nowhere to go at this point and will probably wait for the evac order.

Earl and I will head down there tonight if she needs us. Our thought was to meet her, get the dogs, and take them on up here. It would hugely make her situation easier since, if necessary, she could probably find a place to crash at the border station. Thank you for your prayers as we try to figure this out. Thank you. - - Gayle

UPDATE
The fire is still moving fast in our direction, apparently. New Hope has been trying to open another one of their homes (the bed-bug house that has finally been cleansed of the bugs), but it needs carpet as the last part. The company that was to do the carpet-laying today just called to say they had to cancel. Their business is in Eager. The guy said that they were getting out right then because the fire was upon them. A gal came in a few minutes ago to say that their family was trying to rescue their grandfather’s horses down in Eager. People are moving the cattle as they can up here to the fairgrounds in St Johns. But I don’t know if tomorrow St. Johns will be under an evacuation order, itself.

I will say here, and may offend, but we live in a hugely Mormon area. Their god / gods cannot stand against something like this. There is such terrible corruption in this area. And there is all the first-nation spiritism on all sides. I honestly don’t know if the cup is full of the Lord’s wrath against this area, and He will wipe it like a dish. I can only plead God’s mercy.

Earl and I remain as convinced as ever that God called us to this area and to our land. But I am aware that God could take everything away, and we may have to come back to rebuild. We place it all on God’s altar.

It is an unknown how or whether we will need to evacuate. We appreciate your prayers for God’s wisdom as to when we need to go if we do. Thank you so much for Your prayers for us. Bless you, abundantly. In Jesus’ name, I bless you! Amen.

UPDATE ON FIRE

As of this morning, the fire has zero containment and continues to march, but not as aggressively in our direction.

Springerville, one of our larger cities in this area, is in a pre-evacuation situation.

As the crow flies, our home is about 36 miles from Springerville.

Springerville is 29 miles from St. Johns (where New Hope Ranch is).

The wind has shifted, though, and it seems that the fire is more aggressively heading toward Pinetop. This is horrific. I’m guessing that Pinetop is about 30-35 miles from the fire. Show Low is about 10 miles from Pinetop. These are major resort areas. And also the only real shopping in our area, other than mostly mom and pop businesses.

I had something of a health crisis last night, so Earl thought it would be real smart for me to stay with him today. So, we are both in St. Johns. I’m okay today other than some light-headedness. Thank you for your prayers. Bless you.

Earl and I are okay, but it is niggling on the edge of my mind what I need to take if we have to get out in a hurry. Again, thank you for your prayers.

We are still, I believe, about 50-60 miles from the fire. No immediate danger here. We are a tinderbox, though, in our area, too. The air quality is understandably very poor. To go to church we will be going about 20 miles closer to the fire. It is difficult to get information on the fire, but at last word two major towns in our area are still threatened. One of these is where Earl goes frequently for his New Hope Ranch-related meetings. It has become the staging area for the fire. This is a report from yesterday:

For anyone who is interested this is a report from our state senator a couple days ago. It expresses her outrage at how the land was managed which she (and I) believes led to this…

Update – Senator Sylvia Allen

June 3, 2011

My heart goes out to those families in Alpine and Nutrioso, Arizona, who had to evacuate last night (June 2) because of the Wallow fire, which swept down from the ridge above Alpine. This is the community where my father was born and where some of my family still live. Sadly, there will be some who will have no home to go home to. I know what it is like to be forced to leave your home on a few hours notice. In 2002, we were forced to evacuate our home due to the Rodeo/Chediski Fires.

I once again must express my anger at the lack of forest management that, for the last 20 years, has turned our forests into a tinderbox of undergrowth, small trees, brush, and downed trees. In some areas of the forest around Alpine, the undergrowth was so thick that you could not even walk across the forest floor.

In 1990, Arizona had a thriving forest industry with 15 sawmills bringing $550 million a year to the Arizona economy and employing thousands of rural Arizona citizens. Many rural ranching families ran cattle across the forest land, helping to keep keep the undergrowth down and cleaned out. Over the years, their allotment numbers have been cut to the point that many have gone out of business.

Living through the “timber wars” of the 1990s, I know that the Forest Service was knee deep in lawsuits brought by environmentalist groups pushing for efforts to list the Mexican Spotted Owl and the Goshawk. The timber companies hung on as long as they could, spending thousands of dollars defending their legal contracts in court. Eventually, one by one, they went out of business, and their infrastructure was sold at auction.

There was a time when the Forest Service operated in the black with a very healthy return on their investment. The natural resources that were developed on Forest Service lands created jobs and products benefitting the American people. They were the only federal agency that accomplished such things.

All that changed when misinformation, faulty science, lawsuits, and downright lies were used to shut down our forests by those environmental groups that built multi-million-dollar businesses putting families out of work. These flawed environmental philosophies have made their way into federal policies that have now resulted in an unhealthy forest environment.

The castastrophic fires of the last few years are an indication of the health and vitality of our forests. This overgrowth of trees has depleted our watersheds. If the current disastrous Wallow fire burns for the next 15 days, it will put as much pollution into our air as 700 million cars running 24 hours a day for a year.

We must return to common-sense forest management. The federal government held 12 western states hostage and only agreed to grant us statehood if we gave up control of 60% of our land, assuring the states that they (the states) would have use of the land and be able to use the resources within the boundaries of our respective states. The federal government has broken its word.

Jerry Howery and his wife Darlene
Ventura County, California



Jerry and Darlene now have a general plan for Jerry's treatment. He is in for a long and aggressive treatment, and they are trusting God to make him a "cancer survivor".

This type of cancer is very aggressive and has become more and more common. Jerry's is located at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach, and there is one lymph node involved. It could be caused from chronic heart burn, which you can have even without symptoms.

Next week he will have a Permanent Port-a-cath inserted in his shoulder/chest where he will get chemo and medications.

He will have 3 heavy-dose Chemo treatments, 3 weeks apart, and radiation treatments simultaneously which should shrink the tumor.

In the fall he will have surgery to remove a significant length of his esophagus and 1/3 of his stomach. His stomach will be stretched/elongated and re-attached to the esophagus, higher up in his chest.

There are 4 doctors involved -- Gastroenterologist, thoracic surgeon, general surgeon , and oncologist. The doctors are encouraged by Jerry's good health -- no heart condition or diabetes, etc. Most people with this type of cancer are very fragile.

I have a list of about 60 people on this prayer chain. Jerry and Darlene are so blessed by all the friends from all over who are praying for them

"I am Mark's Aunt Sue. I have known him since he was about a week old and can attest to the fact that he is held in God's loving arms now and has been since he was born. He has suffered many devastating illnesses and God provided the miracle when there was little hope for his survival, including spinal meningitis when he was 9 months old. God has used him since he was a teenager to bring people, young and old, to the Lord. He does have a major fault. He loves creepy crawly things like snakes and loves to tease unsuspecting Aunts with them. Of course, that makes him a cool dude to those young ones he wants in God's family. He is persuasive. His ministry has taken him to places at night that most would not dare to walk. He loves the unlovable and works hard and incessantly to bring them to Christ. He, to me, is a version of Mother Theresa. Of course, I am biased, for I love him.

There are several different surgeries to be done.

UPDATE FROM BARBIE, DAVE'S WIFE
Greetings, just a quick update. Dave was supposed to have had his liver biopsy tomorrow but blood counts were down. He needed a transfusion and they couldn't get it in time for the biopsy, so, we have to reschedule another biopsy. This is the second time this has happened. He has a slight fever tonight and he's neutropepic (low immune system and white blood cells) so had to have another neupogen injection. Will have to watch him close. Supposed to start third round of chemo on Monday. We shall see...that's about it for now. We love you all!~Barbie

FURTHER Prayer Request and Update for:
Dr. Ron Nelson and his wife Brenda
Michigan

Dear Prayer warriors.......thank you for your continued prayers................
as the news comes in with sadness in Brenda's heart and family........we know in our hearts Dr. Ron is a true fighter and we know his faith is so strong and has told John many times we don't know the whys but for John to keep fighting one episode and then another and then another just as Dr. Ron is doing himself....
We know God can give Him a miracle and we ask God to please look down upon him and please heal him .we know the time is running out to make it to Josh's Graduation but He is alive and fighting every day......and it may just take time ....lots of time to heal and fight the infections he has.Ron has been a true inspiration to so many in his battle of cancer. He has touched thousands of people and he is one in a million. Thank you Dr. Ron for the most caring person, doctor, friend you have been to so many.. of us......but you may just surprise us all and God will give you your Miracle........of healing.......hang in there and know you are so loved .
God Loves you and so do we. We sometimes don't understand God's way but know you are so right it is in God's plans and hands. and we must put our trust in him
God bless and our love
John, Helen, and Pooja
UPDATE FROM BRENDA
know this will not come as a big surprise to any of you, but Ron continues to fight with all he's got. The doctors and nurses are impressed with his strength and perseverance, but he wouldn't be Ron if that weren't apparent!
He continues to fight the infection that is raging through his body as well as the liver and kidney failure. There wasn't much change today. He is awake but not able to respond to many commands. The doctors are saying that he is very sick and the prognosis is not good. This news is very discouraging and we ask for continued prayers as we approach Josh's graduation on Sunday, which will be a bittersweet occasion.
Ever since he was diagnosed with cancer Ron has been very firm in his belief that this is all part of God's plan and we have to trust that. We will stay strong in that faith and draw our strength from that even though we don't understand why. One thing is for sure, we have been surrounded by many people who love and care for Ron and for that we are grateful!

Dr. Ron Nelson and his family
Michigan

Thank you for your prayers for John's dr......Dr. Ron. They have been able to take out the breathing tube, he is in ICU, very, very sick , fighting 3 huge infections and the liver is just not working like it should yet and they think they have got the combination of antibiotics to fight these infections. It is going to be a long road ahead. He is on kidney dialysis daily and of course you all know he is very weak...but we can pray for the Miracle he needs to be healed from it all so he can be back helping people that is his life...a life of service to the young, old, senior citizens, Amish , poor etc.. there are very few doctors that will make house calls( he has made several for John) and on holidays too. He is one in a million... and we are asking God to please get him well. Please pray for his wife, Brenda who is by his side and his children and grand children that love him so much and misses him dearly.
I talked to his daughter to get this update for you as I have had so many asking...how is Dr. Ron??? so prayers are working and just keep pouring them in. I have been printing out all your prayers to him and sending on to him and his wife.... thanks for taking the time .
God Bless you every day.

Jonah Navarro and his family
Nevada
Prayer request:

We ended up back in the ER last night. It appeared that his kidney stone has reappeared. He's in a lot of pain and we're being careflighted back to Stanford today. Pray for NO wind! Those little planes are NOT fun in the wind.......

We don't know how long our stay will be, we (as always) have to get there and see where we're at, and go from there. The concern now is that the "stone" is not a stone. He has other "stones" in his other kidney also. He also has new leisons in his chest that at this point we can presume are tumor.

I'll update as soon as I know more, probably won't be today.....meals are still welcome, but most of all, your prayers are what we need the most. Thanks.

From Dr. Ron's wife....need our miracle dear God. ~Cardinal

Well, today finds us facing yet another challenge. During the night Ron took a turn for the worse. He continues to have to fight a very difficult infection and it was necessary to put in a breathing tube this morning. The doctors are going to do more scans this afternoon to see if they can get more answers.

We know that this is out of our hands and we continue to rely on our faith that God is in control although I must say that doesn't make this any less painful for us.

Please continue to pray that the doctors will find some answers and that we as a family can stay strong.

Please say some extra prayers for Dr. Ron... This message in from his wife Brenda. ~Cardinal
Well, we are finding ourselves back in Ann Arbor for yet another holiday: Easter, Mothers Day, Birthday and now Memorial Day...not my idea of a holiday!

Ron has been struggling ever since he has been home and yesterday he had an episode at home where he passed out and had to be taken in to the ER. His blood pressure was extremely low and they felt it best that he be transferred to U of M again.

He was placed in ICU for monitoring of his low pressure and he has a pretty serious infection. They spent most of the day today getting the pressure under control and placed him on more antibiotics as well as continuous dialysis to filter the toxins out of his blood.

As of this evening he was much more comfortable, alert and feeling MUCH better. I believe they feel they have things under control and we are finally turning the corner. I spoke with his nurse just a while ago and he was SLEEPING! It was a very long day but it seems like the doctors are optimistic about his recovery from this.

Please continue your prayers as we have Josh's graduation coming up one week from Sunday and our goal is that he will be able to attend!

Celia had the procedure yesterday to check if there were any blood clots in/near the heart before starting the new medication - there was a blood clot in the heart. So Celia was admitted into the hospital. Thank God the blood clot problem was discovered and is being treated. ... and taking the new medication is once again put on the back burner.


BTW - When Celia got up from bed yesterday to use the bathroom, Fr. Oscar happened to pass by her room at that moment. What a surprise! He did prayers with us and anointed Celia with the Oil of the Sick. Celia received a Spiritual Blessing!!!

Buffy

Hello Harriet, I put a copy of the letter I'd written you about my dog Buffy down below. I'm happy to tell you that Buffy is fine, the Lord heard and answered the many prayers for her and the best part is --- she didn't go thru any surgery! She's walking and running normal again. I'm so grateful to all who lifted her up for prayer. Forgive me please for not letting you know a bit sooner. Thank you Jesus for hearing us and healing Buffy.

Many thanks to all of you.
God Bless and keep you, ~Gayle


Original Message

I have a wonderful little Bishon, 3 years old named Buffy. Last summer we were visiting up north and Buffy took a spill in the yard playing with a much larger dog. Seems her legs were hurt badly and we thought it was from the tumble she took. Come to find out, she has bad knees and a birth defect whereby she has no joint for her hip joint to fit into. She will be needing surgery as soon as we can raise the money for it. I know it will be in the thousands of dollars and we are on social security. Please pray for comfort for her until we can get the money together for the inevitable surgery. Meantime, she's on pain medication when it appears she's really in pain. Please pray God will open the windows of heaven and pour out a financial blessing for her and for the pain to be relieved. We know our God is able to do all of this and we are praying and asking in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Situation in America
For those who are more interested or concerned about what is happening in our county here are two commentaries that I found that explain our situation well:

www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=295733

www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=279437

We are right on the edge of this situation in our community, and it would be devastating. So your prayers are HUGE.

I wanted to share, also, how this troubles Earl and me on another level. Starting back in about 1986, the Lord began speaking to Earl and me about land that He would take us to and a work that He would have us do there. It has been an agonizingly slow and frustrating journey on our side to get settled here and learn what we need to learn. We believe, though, that the Lord promised to bring those who would help us in the work that He would have for us to do here. We believe that this is beginning to happen. And we see the enemy’s hands all over this move to place our land under federal and potentially UN dominance. Our freedoms if not the land itself could be potentially stripped away. We understand that God is God, and no one will step on His plans for us. But this could seriously thwart us in how we serve. As things stand now, we feel like this is a train rushing at 80 mph at us while we’re tied to the tracks. In the natural, we are in so much trouble. But Your prayers can make all the difference in how effective a handful of people can be in rejecting this plan for our county. Thank you for your prayers.

Thanks for writing and so much for praying for me, my family and our ministry...it means a lot to me! I went outside to the store yesterday for the 1st time in about 12 days. I feel better, a little stronger though my doc says not out of the woods just yet. I'll have another test at the end of next week that hopefully will confirm recovery or recovering...the right direction...

...at any rate I will start filling my speaking commitments starting this Sunday. I am teaching every Sunday through September for at a church near here in Kiskunmajsa. I have committed to two week long summer camps and a return to the retirement home. We have plans for reaching into the nursery school(s) in September and a weekly bible study again here in Kecskemét. We are hoping to convert a building on our property to this end. We need prayer for these things and appreciate you following and covering us in prayer.

I really appreciate that you hear my heart for believers and non believers. Your words are so kind. Hope all is well w/you and your ministry! Thanks again! Stay strong, m

Hi just got this in........ keep praying.

HOME SWEET HOME!!!

We finally made it home late Thursday afternoon.. It feels so good to be back. We have spent that last few days trying to re-establish a routine in our day. Hospitals are definitely NOT places where you are able to get the amount of rest sometimes necessary for healing and after having been in a hospital room for the past 4 weeks, it's difficult to get our days and nights in the right order.

Ron feels like he is getting stronger each day but knows he has a long way to go. He is very restless at times, partly because he is tired of sitting or lying in bed but he doesn't feel strong enough yet to really get around much.

I have had lots of requests for visits now that we are home. I think lmited visits are fine as long as they are brief and quiet. Too much commotion does make Ron very tired and sometimes a lot of conversation or disruption causes some anxiety too. (Most of you medical people probably know this, but being in the hospital for a long period of time actually can cause a person to become anxious and it takes time for them to re-acclimate once discharged.)

We will keep you updated on our progress.

Good Not so good Morning...
at 6:50 a.m. got a call from Uncle Bill.... a little shook up ..he had just hit a deer 219 miles from home.(which there would be about 500 miles more to come to Michigan). he was trying to get his door open and finally did..... on Rt. 80 he got out to see the damage done................while I was on the phone....
he said ......"Oh My"" and all that hair.. he looked for the deer and no where to be found................
it did damage to his drivers side, took out head light, closed his side mirror,some to the grill,side fender and is leaking anti-freeze etc. not sure what damage all. the good thing is he is not hurt.
He said he bumped his knee getting out and that it was bleeding.....but not bad....so been talking with him the past two hours while waiting for police and tow truck.
Tow truck came about 8:30 and said he could ride in the cab with his car on the back and will take him the 219 miles back to N. Jersey...needless to say he is super upset and so is his buddy John as we had so many things planned and company coming to visit.......I will still try to do something's as I don't want John to get any more depressed then he is........
I told U.Bill thank God you are not hurt...... that is the main thing..... we can get your car fixed or whatever. I will help him pay his tow bill and he can come in July/Aug. for his birthday...as he wanted to celebrate mine and our anniversary... this time. ..but for some reason God had different plans for all of us......
Say a little prayer for him as he goes home to no one.....and now has to go thru another accident with this new used car he just got last year......
thank you so much........God Bless and off for the day.
will invite Stanley's for our Thanksgiving dinner(turkey thawed, desert made, cookies baked ..his favorites and muffins made) we had planned for U.Bill.....thanking God he is o..k. ..instead of thanking Him he is here safe..........
my heart is broken for both John and Uncle Bill..as they are just like brothers... and had been counting the days to see
each other again...........

Per the doctors,Barbara is in the final stage of dying. She is asleep 90% of the time and is incoherent when she wakes. So if you stop by for a short visit and she wakes up please just agree with what she is saying. She is in no pain and gets medicine for pain and anxiety so she is comfortable.

Paragould, Arkansas

Thank you so very much..... I just returned from Jonesboro this evening.... I'm pooped.... I learned yesterday that she did not have a stroke as first thought.... She has a inoperable tumor on her brain and an aggressive one at that... It has grown so much that it has dislodged and moved her skull.... She has not eaten since last Saturday and with a signed advance directive does not want a feeding tube.... She did awaked Wednesday for about 3 hours and seemed good as new except she could not speak.... She interacted with her children and responded to them by facial features or expressions..... Wednesday evening she lapsed back into the coma and has been maintained there with drugs..... Today her breathing became labored.... I called Jim and put the phone up to her ear with the speaker on and he spoke to her.... She responded with grunts and rapid eye movement and moved one of her hands.... Jim told her he loved her but needed a favor from her.... He asked her to walk slowly and that he would catch up to her... There wasn't a dry eye in that room.. When he quit talking to her she was quiet for a moment and then leaned toward the side of her head where the phone was like she was listening and waiting to hear his voice.... She seemed a bit agitated.... She settled back down and fell into sleep..... I left right after that.... I could not stay around there any longer.... It just seems like..... hurry up and get this over with..... like vultures on the fence....

The hospice unit gave her children some pamphlets to read as to what to watch for so they would know what stage she is in..... They would read a segment and then compare what their mother was doing or how she looked or are her feet cold,,,, well check her hands.... and so on.... Those of you that know me, know this did not set well, so I spoke with Jim and he told me to save grace and just come on home.... That I did....

In speaking with my sister this evening she reminded me that the LORD is in charge and no matter what "they" do, his will shall be done.... If he wishes to take her home then that is exactly what will happen and in his time... It is all in the hands of the Master.... Praise GOD....

THANK YOU ALL so very much for your prayers..... We love youse guys................
