Better Surgery
My neighbor has had some medical issues and without getting into details – mostly because I won’t be able to explain it properly – she has been putting off surgery. Her doctor here explained that it would be major surgery in which they would hope for a good outcome. It didn’t sound promising to her. […]
Pope Connections
Today I learned of some interesting connections that I had not known of, or thought of before. On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a terrifying vision of Satan trying to take over the Vatican and Rome and using that power to scatter the flock of the Church. Pope Leo then composed the prayer […]
Supportive Group
My friend spent the day in the hospital with her mother as they waited for her to have a pacemaker implanted. It was a long day with a long wait and my friend kept me and our friend’s group updated. There were a lot of prayers by everyone all during the day. Her mom had […]
Spiritual Encounters
Yesterday I heard from a friend who took her mom to the hospital. She had been feeling bad for a few weeks, but refused to get medical help. Finally she agreed. They found that her 91 year old heart was beating very erratically and the surgeons will be implanting a pacemaker tomorrow. When she is […]
Good Diagnosis
A neighbor stopped by this morning and we chatted a bit. She told me she had to take her husband to the ER yesterday. He was awaiting some tests this morning and she was heading over to the hospital. She asked for prayers, which I did. Later in the day I heard back from her. […]
Successful Surgery
I was at a friend’s house today and we wondered about another friend who had hip surgery earlier this week. Our prayer group was praying for her and my friend said that she and her husband were praying for her many times during the day. I texted her, hoping to get a response. She did […]
Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby
I started this morning by taking my son’s dog for a little hike in a nearby forested park. It was peaceful, cool, and energizing – a great way to start the day. I talked with son and his wife on and off during the day. They sent a picture of the new baby wearing a […]
Dental Work
Last week I had a crown replaced on one of my back teeth. It is always torture to me to have any dental work done as I can’t open my mouth wide enough. Sometimes I even have bruises on my face. This past time, my jaw hurt, but thankfully there was no bruising. Although, because […]
False Alarm
My son and his wife are expecting their first child in a couple of months. The doctors have been concerned as the baby is measuring very small, so they have been doing an ultrasound every week. The other day at the ultrasound, the doctor noticed an irregularity in the cord blood flow. This made my […]
Experimental Surgery
A friend of mine had experimental surgery on her back a couple days ago. I have been thinking of her and praying for her. This evening I gave her a call. She said that today she was a little sore, but that the surgery was nothing short of a miracle. It was the precursor to […]
