Please pray: for Bill’s father, on Friday, Sept. 18th my Dad fell and broke his right arm. The prognosis is that it will take 6 weeks to heal and will do so by simply being in a sling. However...... the pain medicine took away his appetite so he didn't eat for an entire week which made him weaker than usual. At the age of 81, he needs to eat and keep up his strength! Please pray that he will regain his strength and have several more good, quality years of life. Thanks, (Bill)
