Let’s hope not although this is where we are right at the moment.  Last night Patty checked in with her dad as usual.  He then informed her that he had fallen outside while getting his garbage can off the street.  There was a slow steady rain and we are a little cloudy on details (he wasn’t exactly sure himself, I suppose) but somehow he fell.  Scraped a knee and some knuckles but everytime he attempted to get up he would try and brace on the trash can that would slowly roll away from him with the least bit of effort.  So, basically, he was stuck.  There in the driveway, dark, and raining. What a mess for anyone let alone someone of 91 years.

After  about 5 mins, he reports, a man and his son turned onto his street and saw him.  They stopped and helped him get to the house.  He seems fine today, albeit a bit sore, and we are very grateful.  We expect we’ll be seeing more of this as time continues.  We have been talking to him about an assistance service like Life Alert but until now he has been “on the fence” about it and we haven’t pressed it but that will be changing I assure you.  Sure would appreciate you joining us in prayers for this journey.

Here on the ministry home front, the work on the home, development in ministry and equipment adjustments continue on the docket.  Tomorrow, I will be doing equipment adjustments and repair making sure we’ll be ready to hit the road when the time comes.  Patty will continue the home stuff.

Thanks friends!
