UPDATE: 1:00 pm...just got a call from Adam. Graham, their teenage son, has appendicitis and is currently waiting to go into surgery.Please pray for low pain, for the surgeons to be able to get to it before it explodes, and for Graham to heal very quickly. This family is just getting overwhelmed right now...so I am doing one of the only things I CAN at the moment asking for you to pray. Adam is at the hospital right now, so I'll know more soon.
For those who don't live in durango: I didn't blog yesterday, as we were busy trying to help in the small (and seeming so inadequate!) ways we could, but our senior pastor's home caught on fire yesterday morning. Our pastor was out of town, his wife at home with 6 of their kids-4 under the age of 5. It has been a stunning, sobering day or so for us...more so for them. The inside of their home is a compleate loss; they are still unsure if the structure can be saved. Please pray for them: for strength for all but especially Dwight as father; for peace for them all, but especially Linn...this has devestated her and shaken her to her core, as i imagine it would any mom who saw one of their worst fears realized. For provision. They need so much- with 6 kiddos at home and nothing salvaged, no clothes, no diapers, no toothbrushes...we have been working to get drop-off locations fixed, so if you are in the Durango area and want to help contact the River Church or drop off at Durango Joe's on College. Emma and Graham, their two teenagers at home (15 and 14, I think) are part of our youth group, so we are trying to help on many levels...thank you, friends, for your prayers.
