Prayer Request for Kim Horner

As I write, it is almost midnight on Monday Night/Tuesday morning. Debra and I just arrived in Cleveland, as I have committee meetings here on Tuesday. We have been in Memphis since last night in order to be with Kim Horner, our pastor at Curtis Hill's (Ritchie) this morning for surgery.

The doctors had found cancer on one of her kidneys and surgery had been scheduled for this morning at the Methodist Central Hospital in Memphis. Kim was in good spirits this morning and was in surgery for about three hours. Once we learned the surgery was over and Kim was doing well, we made the drive from Memphis to here. Through several storms the Lord kept His hand on us and we are always grateful for His protective Hand.

We called while on the road here and Ritchie had received a good report from the doctor and they believe the cancer and some tissue around it was successfully removed.

I was especially impressed to see the large group from the Curtis Hill church at the hospital providing support for their pastoral family and that Kathy Burton and Trent made the trip from Ashland City to lend support. Mike and Kathy pastor the Ashland City church, Grace Chapel. District Presbyter, Bishop Robbie Wier was there as well to lend his support.

All through the day, Ritchie's phone did not stop as people called offering support and he must have received a hundred text messages, and answered Facebook messages constantly.

I do not have the words to express the appreciation I have for the Body of Christ and the display of genuine love and care that was demonstrated. We are a blessed people indeed.

Please join me in prayer as Kim and her family as she recovers. God is good!

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
