BST's Blog

Please continue to pray for Jonathan tonight. So many of us find ourselves glued to their blog during the day in the desperate attempt of feeling closer to them while they are so far away. This family means so much to so many. Nicole sounded tired this morning. I remember that feeling. You don't want to go home because in some ways it's more depressing at home and yet everyone keeps telling you to go home and rest. We just need to pray for renewed strength and energy for all of them. I've added a link to the right for updates on Jonathan... or you can click here --either will work. We need to specifically pray that the infection gets under control and that his wound heals. (Nicole told me it was 5 inches deep by 3 inches wide. It's where they think the truck might have drug him.)

Otherwise a great day. We went to the park and played with Paul and Jill's kids and the Mangrum's kids. Beautiful day! Tonight we celebrated Ryan Williamson's birthday by eating sushi with them. It takes a good friend to compel me to eat raw fish.

Father, bless Jonathan tonight. Please give him rest and healing. I pray that you give the family some time to rest before surgery and allow that to be postponed until Monday. Strengthen and renew them. Bless Otter Creek tomorrow as we worship you and as we are so mindful of the Shaubs and the Griffiths who are suffering right now.
