Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Here's a copy of the email that Etta Sue sent out regarding our Jerry...



    Hi All,

    Jerry has had another stroke. 

    I got my last email from him Thursday evening at 6:41 p.m.  He knew I was going to the doctor on Friday so I wasn't online.  He wasn't online when I came home.  Yesterday I didn't get any emails from him nor was he online.  I called him after lunch and no one answered.  I waited.  Called again...no answer. 

    I went to his house leaving here at 1:15 p.m.  I prayed.  I stopped at the old managers house but no one came to the door.  There was a man with a Bobcat moving dirt.  I asked him if he would go with me to Jerry's.  He was the manager of his park.  I have a key so I went in.  I called JERRY!  No answer.  The bed was made. 

    But he was down in the bathroom.  The manager called 911.  He was taken to Anderson.  A brain scan showed he had another stroke and they Lifelined him to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.  I had called Lynn, his daughter and she got to Anderson before taking him.  We left her car at Jerry's and I drove to Indy. 

    The doctor's there don't think surgery is needed just yet.  His BP was low...59/45.  His body temp low...90.5°.  He has some of his vomit in his lungs.  Watching that for pneumonia.  I am estimating he had been down for at least 24 hours....maybe more.  He has bruising on his left side.  His right side responds to stimulation but not his left.  He responds to pain. 

    Before leaving last evening his BP was 129/68.  Body temp was up.  When saying JERRY he opened his eyes.  The doctors are waiting until we know how he is responding to meds and eventually removing some things.  He is on a ventilator, IV's, catheter...I don't know what all.  But he was breathing some on his own also last night.  So it sounds better than first was told us.  But he has a long way to go. 

    God is the ultimate healer.  He healed Jerry once.  Jerry is a fighter.  Pray for God's will.

    I will let you all know more when I can.

    Let's all pray for our Jerry and leave a message here so that Etta Sue can read them to him in the hospital.

    Jery is still in ICU and in critical condition.  Jerry still has the tube down his throat but he is breathing on his own.  When I talk to him, he opens his eyes.  I told him if he knew who I was to blink his eyes once.  He did.  He can squeeze your hand with his right hand but not his left.  He moves his right leg...he has nervous legs...but not his left.  His temp is normal.  Later I asked him if he wanted me to bring Ali to see him and I saw an attempt for a smile.  He has a long way to go but, God willing, he will get there. 

    Thanks to all of you for your prayers.

    I am praying for Jerry.  As you said, Etta Sue, God has healed him before, and He can do it again.  I leave it all in His very capable hands and trust Him for complete recovery according to His will.  He always knows best and we can trust Him to work all things together for good!

    Oh Father, make it clear to all around Jerry that You are His refuge!  Comfort him and grant him to know You are a "very present help in trouble."  Oh do these things, Father, through our Lord.

    Pat


    Oh, such sadness.  But this really brings us to our knees.

    Many here is Guelph are praying for both Jerry, Tom's wife and Marilyn's friends tonight.

    Thanks to all of you for your prayers.

    Father it hurts us so when someone we knows needs your help and all we can do around this country is pray for his needs.  Some would like to do so much more...

    We ask Father that you give Jerry a touch of your Holy Spirit and that the doctors and nurses caring for him know JUST what he needs

    We thank you Father that you sent Etta Sue to find him. 

    We know that you hear our prayers and we know that you know everything we ask, even before we ask for it.  So we thank you Father that you hear our prayers and we are thankful for the free gift of your Son, that allows us to approach you, with boldness, to make these requests on behalf of one of your children.

    We ask all this in Jesus' precious and holy name.....

    Still thinking of you and praying for you, big guy.  Hang in there.  God is good and Able.  May his perfect will be done, and may you (and your family and loved ones) receive grace, strength, love and mercy from HIM.  We love you!!!!

    Jerry, my heart is with you and I'm in prayer for your healing.

    Jane Walker

    Prayers are still ascending for you, JERRY!!  Keep looking to Jesus and He will sustain you through this time.  I'm praying for your family and Etta Sue, as well, and all who will be placed within your life or have any part in caring for you at this time.  Lord, give Your strength ... to all concerned.

    Jerry, Our Father, the author and finisher of our faith will be with you each step of the path you need to walk. I am heartened that Gods people have rallied around to lift you up in prayer.

    The way folks are rallying around to pray for Jerry just reminded me of this hymn...




    Sweet Hour of Prayer
    (Click to hear music)

    Pray continually.
    1 Thessalonians 5:17


    Words: William Walford, 1845
    Music: William B. Bradbury, Golden Chain (New York: 1861)



       

    Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
    That calls me from a world of care,
    And bids me at my Father's throne
    Make all my wants and wishes known.
    In seasons of distress and grief,
    My soul has often found relief
    And oft escaped the tempter's snare
    By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!


    Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
    The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
    Of those whose anxious spirits burn
    With strong desires for thy return!
    With such I hasten to the place
    Where God my Savior shows His face,
    And gladly take my station there,
    And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


    Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
    Thy wings shall my petition bear
    To Him whose truth and faithfulness
    Engage the waiting soul to bless.
    And since He bids me seek His face,
    Believe His Word and trust His grace,
    I'll cast on Him my every care,
    And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


    Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
    May I thy consolation share,
    Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
    I view my home and take my flight:
    This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise
    To seize the everlasting prize;
    And shout, while passing through the air,
    "Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

    Heavenly Father, as others have prayed  ,so too are our prayers  for Jerry at this time of illness. Please be his strength and assurance , that his spirit may be nourished  knowing your presence beside him . Our trust is not in this body of flesh ,which fails us , but in the assurance that one day we shall have a new body ......and we shall be like Him (Jesus)
                                               
    Ever be the comfort of those who cry to thee , and for those ministering to Jerry's physical care please grant wisdom and hope as they seek to treat your child.

    It's good there was someone watching out for him so that he was found in a reasonable amount of time!
    The world is very fair to see
    The artist will not let it be
    He fiddles with the works of God
    And makes them look uncommon odd!

    May the Lord be your strength and guide Jerry, may He bless all whom come in contact with you, may He take the pain and sorrow, lean on the Lord brother, He has the power to make you WHOLE again... Hallelujah........Love Maureen (New Zealand)
