Dear Mr. Phil,

thanks for this update on your grandson. somehow he doesn't seem to 
need much extensive rehabilitation when he is becoming an expert on 
the brain and can draw a map of it, too. *g* sometimes it takes a 
shock like this to shake us up and get us back on track. I do not for 
one moment believe in God's going around and zapping people, but he 
surely can use any crap we come up with or that Satan lures us into 
and turn it into gold! the Lord is so good and so wonderful! Praise him!

I joined this list in the late 1990's shortly after I lost my site 
and it the first Christian online community of sorts that I have been 
a part of. A lot of water has passed under the proverbial bridge and 
many people who used to be a part of this community have come and gone.

Yes, I have been praying for Gretchen for a long while but I did not 
realize or forgot that she is not older. If the mama is 34 and her 
boy is 17, then the young mama was only 16 when she had him! What 
grace things have worked out as well as they did. Thank you for the 
reminder of Lifting Ms. Gretchen up to the Lord. I still pray for her 
but it has not been as focused as before.

It is a privilege to be able to pray for one another and I thank the 
lord of the privilege of entrusting us with his people.

Catch a cyberhug and lots of prayers!

Take care and God bless,

Doris
