Prayers for my sister

Some of you know the problems my sister has been having over the last few years with nerve damage in her head and face.For those of you that don't know, my sister Nancy, has had severe pain on the side of her face and temple for a few years. At first the pain was spuratic, but has increasingly become chronic. Even her hair hurt. After several specialists and chasing down any diagnosis that might bring some relief, she was accepted into the Mayo Clinic last month. PRAISE GOD they seem to have come up with a diagnosis and treatment. The scary part is that it involves brain surgery to move an artery that is pressing against the trigeminal (sp?) nerve at the base of her brain. Nancy has been in such pain for so long I pray that this gives her relief and her life back! She will be flying back to AZ to undergo the surgery on the 28th.

Mark,
Thanks for the comment. I share your feelings on Moltmann. I was only introduced to his writings a short time ago for a class I am taking - but he is great.

I will be keeping your sister and your whole family in my prayers.
Blessings,
Wayne

Hey mark, Thanx for the comments on my Don Miller post and yes I have read Generous Orthodoxy. I have some mixed feelings on it but I liked it for the most part.

My wife and I are still praying everyday for your sister.
Blessings,
Wayne
