My niece had her beautiful baby boy yesterday, after a very hard labor and having to be induced. Leaving out the gory details, it took them 4 minutes to get him breathing on his own. This morning they were very concerned about his low oxygen. This hospital does not have a NICU, so they have airlifted him to University of Washington Hospital in Seattle. PLEASE pray for my grand nephew. And please pray that each person involved will allow God to do the work in their lives that He wants to (salvation for several of them). Thank you from the bottom of my weeping heart.

Brother Jim's surgery is complete. I will post updates here as I get them from his wife. Please be sure to pray for her as well. First - "I am beyond exhausted, but I know many are waiting to hear how Jim's surgery went. The surgery went very well. They ended up doing a quadruple bypass. The Doctor said his heart was like brand new in how it functions now ? - However, the last I heard he hasn't woke up. They did a CT scan to see if there was anything wrong that would keep him from waking up. But they said they didn't know how long it would be before the doctor would read them and get back to me. So, I chose to go home because we have a dog that needs take…

So the Wed before Christmas the pipes in the well house froze and broke. Hubs worked on them and fixed them, only to find another leak...here we are two weeks later and a plumber was finally able to come. There is massive damage. We had the tank replaced, but the workers didn't insulate the pipes they replaced (not their responsibility), and we didn't think about it. The Tues/Wed before Christmas we had the lowest temps around here that there've been in quite a number of years. Happily, we are able to get water from the church, and we can shower there as well. However, it is a lot of work and inconvenience. Mom is in her 80s, so it's hard on her as well. …

A friend and pastor from Joliet, Illinois, Dr. Dale Steenhoven, was in the hospital these past few days. They took a biopsy of a growth on his neck, and they believe it to be lymphoma. They're not sure how treatable this is if it is cancer, but, I'm sure that he would appreciate your prayers. Brother Steenhoven has been the pastor of a Baptist church in Joliet Illinois for over 40 years, being it's founding pastor. Thank you in advance for your prayers as we wait for the results of the biopsy. BT

I would like to ask for prayer from my OB family regarding my upcoming triple heart by-pass surgery. There is no firm date for this surgery, but it will happen soon. Last week the docs tried a procedure to put in stents, but it was unsuccessful, so a triple heart by-pass is needed. Please pray with and for me.

My wife and I are facing a legal matter right now. We are having to sue a contractor in our area for not performing services paid for. He was highly recommended by Angi (Angis List) and NetWorx. We've had our attorney in contact with him and his brother for the last five months, and they have stated several times that they would pay part of it "on Friday" but each Friday has come and gone without any payment. The attorney has said he will be filing suit for us when he gets back from vacation. So, Monday will start something we never wanted. These brothers claim to be Christians, but, this makes me doubt that. Please pray these brothers take responsibility and pay up. …

I started my pulmonary rehab this past Tuesday. I've got at least 18 weeks, and more could be tacked on if needed. The first two sessions have come and gone, and I was told on Thursday my breathing is erratic. They are wanting me to have the echocardiogram sooner than July 14, but we haven't been able to get it moved up. They have made me start using something called a "peak flow meter." This measures how much air I can blow out. I need to be at a minimum of 365 and a max of 435. I have to inhale and blow air out of my mouth into this meter and mark down the results of the three times I do it. I also have to do this several times a day. The last four attempts. Yesterday I…

My baby sister is in urgent need of prayers. Seven weeks ago she moved out of her house leaving her husband of fifteen years, her daughter, and her grandson. She is on the city council of the town we grew up in, and she lost her bid for mayor of that town in April. She has, up until that time, been a wonderful Christian example. She had been having meetings with another council member over the past four months, and around ten weeks ago she moved out of her bedroom to the room across the hall. My -in-law has told us that there were hours long phone conversations between this council member and my sister, and that my sister had become detached and distant. She didn't attend…

June 2, 2023 This morning my sister called me to inform me that a family friend (and distant relative of my wife) had tried to murder his girlfriend, shooting her in the abdomen, and then committed suicide. He used to work with my brother-in-law Al in the Augusta/Richmond County, GA sheriff's office. He owned the funeral home that handled my wife's grandparents, parents, my father's, and several other family members' funerals. His father was the Columbia County, GA coroner for 34 years and was the coroner who handled my grandfather's death when he passed away in 1993. We've known this family for years (and as stated, my wife is a distant relative). My brother-in-la…

I have a follow up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Monday morning. He doesn't think I will need surgery, but he's stated that I'll probably need extensive therapy to regain some of the use of my left arm. I am a little apprehensive about going through another long period of therapy only to once again being disappointed. It's all in the Lord's hands. Then, on May 28th I have the rest of the teeth in my mouth pulled and will be getting my immediate dentures. I kept my teeth longer than both of my parents, which I praise the Lord for. I'm sort of nervous, as I have had some very bad experiences at the dentist office over the years. They're going to have to "t…

We got a sad call from one of my hubs' brothers tonight (he has 4 living, 1 in Glory) that one of our sisters-in-law had either had a stroke or heart attack and they were working on trying to revive her. In about 30 minutes, we received another call that she had gone on to Glory. She leaves behind a very ill husband, kids, grandkids (and I think a great-grand). She was my matron of honor at our wedding, and her hubs stood up with my hubs. Please pray for my BIL Jerry, their kids, and the rest of the family. This came totally out of the blue. As it stands now, it doesn't look like we will be able to head back east (to OH) for the funeral. (Here in WA, we ha…

Yesterday while I was getting my MRI in Franklin, Tennessee, we received word that we had a "former" extended family member pass away. My brothers ex-mother-in-law passed away in her mid 80s. My nephew posted a notice of her death. We haven't seen Nellie in several years, but, she was always a kind, loving woman who worked as a waitress in an area restaurant here for many years. We believe she was saved and that we will be seeing her again later on. My ex-sister-in-law lives here in town, and she was very close to her mother, so I know that she is taking this hard. Please pray for her, her husband, and for our nephews Chad and Lance, and our niece, Lindsey. This mor…

I am here again...requesting prayer again as I face another round of medical tests....Tomorrow I have an appointment with a new pain management doctor. I don't know how this will go with her...I've been told she's good, but, I'm a bit apprehensive about going to another pain management physician after the last experience. But, my PCP wants me to go to this one post-haste. So, I'll go. I'm also facing some more CT scans and MRIs with contrast on my back and neck. The OD wants me to possibly have neck surgery to remove several vertebrae and then to have a "cage" put in and fused to hold my neck in place. All of this testing has about worn me down....but, I've put many thing…

Please be in prayer for my cousin Jeff White and his kids Savannah & Chris and their kids. Jeff's wife, Reginia, has been fighting cancer for a while. She went to be with the Lord this morning. While we rejoice that she is with the Savior and out of pain, the real grieving has just begun.

My cardiologist has ordered another round of stress tests on March 8 & 9. My EKG wasn't bad, but, it wasn't good, either. He said it was irregular. I was told flatly that if the pain in the chest, arm, neck, and shoulder I should either call 911 or have my wife take me to the ER. With a family history of heart attacks and strokes, I was told that I am far more than a prime candidate. I would appreciate your prayers. I was told to greatly reduce stress and certain things I have to do daily. Thanks in advance. BT

I would appreciate prayer for the Springgate clan...three of the family are members of our church. We lost Jim (the fourth one who was a member) this past July after a many-years-battle with cancer. Linda, his wife, has severe back/bone issues and is always in pain but has to do for everyone. Linda's brother Mike (as well as her grandson Steven, who is another member) inherited an eye issue that causes blindness...he has found that he has cancer and UC. Linda and Mike (whose last name is Reynolds, but he lives with her) have a sister named Debbie. She recently underwent surgery to remove an aneurism (her third!). She is still in hospital and not doing well. Her kidne…

We received a call from my wife's younger sister, Pat, that their older sister, Diane, had been found dead in her apartment. She apparently passed away yesterday or late the day before. My niece had been trying to get ahold of her for several hours and hadn't gotten any answer. So, she asked he husband to go and check on her. He found her dead. My sister-in-law was an alcoholic, had type II diabetes, had suffered a stroke, had a pacemaker, and wasn't in good health. She would have been 65 on December 7th. My nieces are torn up as their father, my ex-brother-in-law, passed away on October 27th from a four year battle with cancer. This is the third family member in a month …

My wife and I recently had to leave our doctor because he wasn't treating our health conditions correctly and was lax in actually trying to get to the root of these challenges. Both my wife and I have been diagnosed recently with myocarditis (heart failure), and I was put on heart medication this past week. My wife's heart meds were increased in dosage. This was a shock to both of us when given the information. I had my bloodwork come back and my A1C's were at 10.3, the highest they've been in the last six years. The medication our previous doctor had me on was causing serious health problems, and when he was notified of these things, he told me to continue taking the med…

Our pianist's adult son is an avid hiker and runner. This past Friday he was headed to a very hard trail in the Sierra Madres in CA. He never made it home. Today they found his car, and thanks to friends know which trail he took. Of course the hardest one in the area. They are searching that trail now. Please pray with us that he will be found. I am also praying that he will be alive. Our pianist is, of course, quite upset. Prayer for strength for her would be greatly appreciated. Her name is Pat. His name is Rob.

This afternoon, friends of ours from church lost a daughter in a car crash. They are faithful workers in our church and they have all made professions of faith. His daughter was travelling with a former classmate from our church's academy when their car struck a minivan killing all involved, 4. His daughters and our daughters grew up together and we called them all the Black Feet Tribe as we used to watch them all run around the gymnasium with no shoes on, their little feet black from running around bare. She is the first of them to go home to the Lord. The young man was 18 and she was 19 and he was driving a 2022 Tesla and for some reason, deci…

My brother and sister-in-law, as well as a niece and nephew in law live in Seminole, FL, a suburb of Tampa, and I also have a brother in Orlando, as well as several friends and cousins near the same areas. I've had a load of prayer requests hit me this morning of people who are concerned about this hurricane becoming a STRONG category 4 or even a category 5. They're saying this could possibly be a devastating thing for the Tampa area...the worst storm in 100+ years. Please, pray for the people of Florida as they as facing this natural disaster. Thanks in advance. BT

A Christian friend of mine just got a call from his ex-wife informing him that his son has been shot 4 times while leaving his friends 21st birthday party. He was shot in the kidney, the neck, the stomach, and the chest from what we're told. This shooting was in NH. At this juncture, the young man (Harley is his name) is still alive and has gone through surgery to remove the bullets. At this time, there is no further information available. From what his father has conveyed to us, it doesn't look good at this point. Please pray for Harley, his mother, and his father. Thank you. BT
