Urgent Prayer Request

Hello friends and family, could you please stop and pray for Bret Beherns. He's a close friend of mine.

He suffered a fall from about 65 feet yesterday afternoon. He had surgery to repair the tear in his aorta at 3 am this morning in Springfield, IL. Because open heart surgery would be a slow recovery the surgeons chose to do a patch type stent. They will wait to make sure that his heart is stable before they begin the repairs to the compound fractures in his ankles. He is heavily sedated and is being given mega doses of antibiotics to help with possible infection. His vitals are again pretty stable. Prayers are being answered and according to hospital staff he is doing miraculously well for what has happened to him. Many friends have been beside Brian and Sandy (Bret's parents) in Springfield and they are feeling peoples' prayers...continue to pray that the aorta patch will be successful, and the bones will be repaired and there will be no infection.

At around 11:00 this morning Bret went into surgery for his back. He had compression on his nervous. This is a 6 hour procedure.

Please also pray for Bret's family. They need sleep. They are doing well and have been a huge witness to everyone around them, but they need rest.

Pray for me and those who are close to them to know how to help or stay out of the way.

Thanks for your prayers. God is using this in a mighty way to bring glory to himself.
"The prayers of a righteousman is powerful and effective."

Blessings,
Barry

Road Trip this summer anyone?

Hey everybody! Most of you have at least heard a bit of how I am trying to do a road trip later this summer. A vacation, and all. Right now, there are a few people that have expressed interest but no one to commit. I mean, even Barry is thinking of flying out and meeting up somewhere on the trip!

Check out the link above for details. Basically--right now trying to get a two week road trip going. From here to Grand Canyon / Las Vegas / up the California coast to Monterey and San Fransisco / to Yosemite NP / to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and back. Big trip...lots of ideas in the way. In fact, we already have a few hotel room (suites!) reserved at really cheap rates ($39 a night) in Las Vegas and Santa Monica. If interested, please let me know!!! It is going to be great--because a focus on God is going to be kept throughout the entire trip. Most likely daily devotionals, prayer time, of course fellowship throughout it all, and we're trying to find some non-threatening outreach we can everywhere too. It is going to be great!!
