Personal Update

Praise the Lord for His many blessings. The procedure on my left eye went extremely well, except for one slight problem. I have had no pain or even discomfort. Of course, I have not been enthused over having to lie flat since the procedure.

So far I have not been able to see. I have fluid that is blocking my vision. This is similar to the problems I had following the same procedure on my right eye.

But, the implant is trying to work! PTL! The pumpers in the implanted lens just need to start pumping. Doctor Grice, my surgeon, is going to attempt some post operative procedures to see if she can jump start the pumps on Monday.

I need for you to pray that God will bless and this procedure will be successful. I also need for you to add Mrs. James Lee of Hendersonville, NC to your prayer list as well as Mark Shumpert, and 18 month toddler, who has received a head en jury. Mrs Lee is the wife of Brother James Lee a regional director for Frontier Baptist Mission. Mrs. Lee had emergency by pass surgery on the 5th, and she has experienced some complications. Baby Mark is the grandson of Teddy Shumpert also a fellow board member of FBMI. Apparently, he sustained a head en jury while playing on a playground, and he has undergone brain surgery. George Lowe, one of our faithful class memebers, has been have heart problems, and he stands in need of our prayers also.

Romans 8

28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The invasion of Russia into Georgia has the experts scratching their heads. Israeli intelligence is reporting that there were KGB agents stirring up things for months prior to Russia's action. It is also being reported that Russia bombed Israeli airfields in Georgia that were to be staging areas for the removable of Iran's nuclear bomb plants.

The weather has certainly served as a reminder that we are living in the last days! Apparently we have escaped serious damage from Hanna, but Ike is coming! It is being reported that there was a small quake on the West coast last night. By the way, the BBC is reporting flooding in Great Britain.
