I Covet Your Prayers

For two things I ask for and would sincerely appreciate your prayers.

One – I severely injured my back (with a muscle pull) yesterday in the course of my business, and had to limp through the rest of the day barely able to get around. Driving my truck was, literally, excruciatingly painful. Today was a little bit better, but I am still hurting to the point that I can’t walk entirely upright (I feel a little like Igore, all hunched over, though my Dad says he couldn’t really notice it until I pointed it out to him). God is good, as always. He arranged my day today to end unusually early to give me some time to recuperate, and for that I am very grateful.

Two – Tomorrow night (Sunday), I am being ordained as a deacon at RCC along with five other brothers. This has been quite a process of examination, which started back in September, and I ask that you would pray that I represent God faithfully in this new role of being a minister of mercy to my church body…for their good and His glory.
