Kelly, daughter of Sam & and Mary Catherine Gargis
Dear Prayer Warriors: 
           We covet your prayers for Kelly, daughter of our dear friends, Sam & and Mary Catherine Gargis.  Plans are for Kelly to have bilateral prophylactic mastectomy surgery 6-16-09, at Baptist Hosp., Nashville, early morning. We pray no cells are found in the lymph nodes. She will also have reconstructive surgery right after the breast surgery. She has an aggressive type of cancer.  She feels she is in God's perfect will; however, she is anxious about the surgery.  She is a young mother of three.  Her husband is Alan Voss.  Thank you for adding Kelly and her family to your prayers.  To God Be the Glory.  Dru

Michael Thompson
Michael Thompson, son of Lyda and Jeff, received a terrible report from Children's Hospital on Tuesday.  He has been battling Lupus but now it has been discovered that he has two kidney diseases and another tissue disease that is causing tissue to grow on organs internally.  He will need to begin two different chemos, one two-days a month and one one day a month for six months.  Please pray to our dear Lord for a miracle for this young man.  In spite of knowing all this, he has a wonderful attitude and you wouldn't know that he was this sick.  Please also pray for his family that they may stay close to the Lord in the days ahead.

Thank you and may God's blessings be on all of you.

Please pray for Barry Pace  who retired from NWSCC as basket ball coach. He was having some problems and his wife carried him to ECM and they thought it was an aneurysm…ECM transported him to UAB but they are not saying exactly what is going on. He had surgery to relieve the pressure in his brain and has a tube for drainage and is in a coma.

Rebecca Buttram
My 89 year old mother, Rebecca Buttram, had cyst removed from her leg two weeks ago.  We found out today that it is a rare, fast growing skin cancer.  Often the skin isn't the primary site.  Pray for her that the skin is the only site and it can be easily taken care of.  Pray that we will have peace about whatever treatment is recommended...........and God will completely heal and be glorified through the healing. 
 
Thank you,

Benjamin and Maria Murray
Please pray for our son,Benjamin and his wife Maria.   They are on a roller coaster ride of emotions  Maria is pregnant but every other day she has to go and have blood work done to see if she is going to lose the baby.One day the numbers go up and we are all happy.  The next blood work is not good the next visit.   this has been going on for 3 weeks.   they had a bad report this afternoon after getting what we thought was a good report this morning.  Maria and Benjamin lost a baby in January so this is very scary for them.  We would appreciate your prayers.

Jean Wright Burns Prayer Requests
Please pray for my precious Daddy. We found out yesterday that he has early signs of Alzheimer. I am really close to my Dad and I am having a hard time to let go when the time comes.
 
My mother and father -in laws are in real bad shape. Please pray for them.
 
My nephew is in school in Tuscaloosa and we have found out that all the money sent to him was for him to buy drugs. He told me today that he did not like me anymore. I had rather been hit with a ton of bricks.
I know it is his drugs talking and I will have to deal with this.
