Urgent Prayer Request from Judy 8/21/08

Asher has been admitted on an emergency basis to Maine Medical in Portland, Maine. His feeding tube is malfunctioning, and he has lost about half a pound now (which puts him somewhere around just 10 lbs).

The doctors are very dire, saying he will not make it. (Yes, they have said this before). We have a miracle - working God, and He is the Great Physician.

Will you join me in a moment of prayer?


Father, we come before You today, and we lift up the Rousseau family, especially Asher. Lord, He needs Your healing Touch. You are the Great Physician. You say in Your Word that it is by Your stripes we are healed. Lord, we ask You to heal Asher in a mighty and miraculous way. May all who see it look on and say, "It was only God. It was God." May it all be for Your glory. We pray this in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.


I'll keep you up to date as I hear word from Judy.
Love & hugs,
Ruth Anne

Forest Park Baptist Church Sign

This is the church sign for this week at the church where I serve. I'll let the picture say it all. It's perfect for standers. :-)

Church sign

I had to stop and take a picture of this church sign. It fits in with devotions I read the night before, and included in the Friday August 8th message to the group.

The church in the background behind the sign is actually Calvin Christian Reformed Church in Oak Lawn. First United Methodist is to the right of the church sign.
