Most of you know that I have been spending time with my brother in law as his pastor, waiting for the Lord to take him home.  Thursday afternoon, 1:45 pm, Carl went home to be with his savior.

     Carl was a new Christian, several weeks before we got word there was nothing more they could do, he accept the Lord in his hospital room, my niece Cynitha was given the opportunity to hear the details about his testimony of faith, she is a strong Christian and she will be forever grateful to God for using her to minister also with Carl.  God using each and everyone of us, I have been through many bad situations before, but God has blessed me by using me also every day Carl was alive, I was by his side day in and day out, many sleepless nights, swollen feet, and back aches, but NOTHING will replace my time with Carl and the lessons I learned from all this. He was a fighter and a dedicated one also, he fought right up to his last breathe, the smile on his face when it was over, was very rewarding to know someone loved Jesus in that little bit of time and knowing he went to live with the Lord. I WILL PRAISE GOD ALWAYS!!!!!

     In James 5:15, it talks about effective prayer, take some time today and begin reading this, with effective and faithful prayer, God will lead you to help a family member accept him as Lord and Savior, let's start praying harder today. God Bless each and everyone of you, please continue to pray for my sister, Martha, Carl's wife, she is still battling cancer, she finished up 18 rounds of Radiation, she is going in soon to be tested again to see where her cancer stands, let's keep the faith of prayer going.  

     Thank you for all your support  prayers, flowers, and phone calls during this difficult time.  All for the love of Jesus, Shirley
