Please pray for one of our elders who had a heart attack this last week. He’s doing better, but has some surgery later this week. Fortunately he had the heartattack two weeks after his daughter’s wedding and not two weeks before, or some other really bad time (as if there’s a good time for heart attacks).

God’s grace is evident throughout this whole situation and it was good to hear an update this morning since we have a Cardiologist at the church, Bob Eckel [scroll down], who could explain what was happening on both a technical expertise level and then a layman’s level [thank goodness for the simple explanation for those of us who are medically challenged]. Hal’s heart was not permanently damaged according to testing and with the operations all should be back to normal. It looks like the bicycle ride he was planning on will be postponed some though 🙂
