Prayer concern updates

Jenny Marion is doing well, I spoke to Ben yesterday evening, she is off the ventilator and is having some physical therapy. She gets tired easily but is able to reposition herself in the bed without assistance. The recovery is a long process so keep them both in your prayers.

Leeland Dampier is doing some better and they are hoping to do a bronchial scope and then remove the ventilator today. Keep him in your prayers 11 cracked ribs and 3 snapped due to the wreck last week.

Paul Lively's sister Virginia Jarrett passed away yesterday evening. Keep the family in your prayers as they travel and for comfort in their loss.

Jenny Marion, surgery completed

The surgery is over and Jenny is doing well. They were not able to do everything they hoped but they knew going in that may be the case. The biggest curve(hump) was significantly straightened.  All in all, Ben says it was a success. The surgery required a complete blood transfusion…41/2 liters of blood. Jenny will remain intubated tonight due to significant swelling, and therefore sedated for tonight. Probably remain in ICU until Thursday.

Jenny Marion update 12:30PM

Just had another update on Jenny. They have mapped the locations of the placement of the hardware and are now beginning the process of installation of the brace.

This Weeks Lectionary Texts

Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18

Psalm 119:33-40

I Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23

Matthew 5:38-48

 

As I look over the lectionary for this week I really see especially in the Leviticus text that it is important for us to understand the concept of reaping to the edges of the field. I think we are prone to do all we can in our life to procure all we can for the sole purpose of enriching ourselves. In our pursuit of the edges of the field we forget Sabbath and taking time with God and others. When we are more in tune with God and others we gladly leave the edges of the field unharvested so that others can glean the fruit of our labor to make a better world. How will you harvest? If we harvest for self then we have left out God and others and the harvest will be foolishness as is wisdom of this age according to the I Corinthians passage.
