Update on Pastor Winchester's Daughter-in-law, Michelle

Good news Tuesday eve. Michelle spoke words and knew some folks. She was sent to a nursing home on Wednesday. However, still with trache in throat and feeding tube plus other hookups and not being restrained in any way plus not being watched she last night pulled out everything. She at this moment is back in St. Johns Hospital in Springfield, MO.

Here is the kicker. They say they will not keep her and there is not any facility in 200 miles that they have contacted that will take her. They say they will not keep her as there is not any medical reason for so doing????????????.

Greg is told to prepare to take her home. 24 hour around the clock is out of reason and logic to give her this type of care. He and rest of us are beside ourselves with ??????????????????as to what to do.

All I am asking is prayer for the Lords intervention. God bless for all the prayers you have already prayed.

Cliff and Joann.

I just received word that the hospital is going to try to find out by running some more tests to see if they can keep her. This is beyond me at this point (given her circumstances) body stabilizer on broken pelvis, trek, feeding tube for food and medicine, brain not fully understood at the point. I am pray for God to help us. Cliff

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.

It's not what I do...It's who I am

Yesterday an incident happened that brought to a profound realization of what being a minister is all about. I must first begin by saying I found myself in a place I had not intention of being...that it was a split-second decision that took me to Barnes and Noble in the town where I live. Secondly, I need to tell you a story...hopefully not a long one, but at least to the point. Here are the basics; Yesterday morning I had a full day planned. This is not so unusual but the way it unfolded led me to what I like to call a "Divine appointment." I started out my morning at Vanderbilt University Hospital with a visit to one of our friends who had been taken there in the middle of the night by ambulance. He had been in the emergency room all night long and his family waited anxiously to hear a diagnosis from the doctors. You see, Bill had a recent surgery for a brain tumor and after some days at home suffered a blood clot in his lung. Of course the doctors were concerned wi...
