Updates all around today.

Baby Nate Ferrel goes for an EKG today. His pre-op for the MRI is on August 13th. He has to undergo pre-op since he will be put under anesthesia. The MRI will be August 14th, and they will be looking specifically at his head, cervical spine, lumbar spine, and thoracic spine. They expect him to be under about an hour. Please continue to pray for him and his family.

Aunt Joanna has returned home. Please continue to remember her family and all of those who have recently lost loved ones. The Tucker family, the Aday/Kitchens family, and one of Gary's co-workers who just lost his Mother.

Parker Allen is slowly and steadily improving. He has more and more consistant control over his right hand and foot, and is gaining control over his right arm and leg. The family continues to be strengthened by God at this time, and Parker seems to have great strength as well. Please continue to pray for him, as it is evident that the Lord is healing him a little at a time.

Please continue to remember all who are pregnant at this time, I've added a new one to the prayer list.

Please continue to pray for spiritual growth in our churches and for our ministers. I feel personally that when we are in the right place spiritually, that the Lord will bless us with the appropriate numbers.

Also, please continue to remember our armed forces, our President, and the upcoming election.
