Yes, we're praying here for Mat and for his dad, Steve.  Do you know if he has accepted the Lord for his salvation?  We pray for that above all.  None of us is going to get out of this alive and we've all got our appointment with destiny.  Having that blessed assurance is the primary concern.

God can and he sometimes does intervene in our circumstances but his greatest interest is in our eternal destiny.  When we understand that he has our best interest in the forethought of his mind, we can rest in that, giving thanks.  We will continue to request that Steve has many more years to spend with and to care for his family.

One of my friends, Al, was repairing a radio antenna a couple of years ago and one of the aluminum legs buckled under his weight and collapsed and Al 'rode it down.'  We were just chatting by email this last Saturday and the subject came up...  this from his comments:

"Yes I was fortunate. I feel I was given another chance to stay on  earth to take care of my wife as she is in failing health. I think about it often. Don't remember much except coming awake almost 10 days after it happened in ICU in Erlinger in Chattanooga.  When I fell from a tower in Lake Tansi,I broke four ribs and two vertebrae in my neck. "

At this point, about anything is probably possible, but we will continue to pray for a complete recovery, giving thanks and praise.  God bless.
