Jason Smith, NC

URGENT!!!
REC'D VIA EMAIL ON 4/29/09 FROM DEBBIE:

"My daughter's teacher at BCC - Jason Smith from Southport, urgently needs our prayers. He evidently has been trying to deal with seeing his sister as she died from a tragic death last year. He's tried meds. from the doctors, etc... and now evidently drinking to try to deal with it. He was driving drunk last night and hit a man- Stanley Barnes from Burlington- on a motrocycle who later died. (This is also an urgent request. We need to be praying for the family and friends of this man who lost his life. They will need a lot of strength that only God can give.) He had left the scene but shortly after turned himself in- according to the news. (Apparently Jason drove off from the accident - went two blocks, parked his vehicle and walked back to the scene of the accident.) He is out on bail at this time. I do not know if he has any family or other support in our area. I've heard Becky, my daughter, speak of this teacher often. All the students really like him and have a lot of respect for him. They are wanting to know what they can do to help him through this. Please pray for strength for this teacher and his family and friends/students and for the family and friends of the man who lost his life.. Thank you so much.
Many, Many Blessings to you in the Name of Jesus

Preston Lloyd, NC

REC'D THIS FORWARD FROM REGINA I. ON 4/28/09:

"This is a friend of my niece - hope all of you have a blessed week - sylvia

I just wanted to let some of you know about this prayer request. Preston Lloyd is a 4 year old boy whose grandfather accidentally backed over him on the lawn mower this week. At this time, Preston is in the PICU at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte (yes - same PICU where I used to work. We see a lot of these injuries this time of year but it never makes it any less heart-breaking). My understanding is that Preston has lost his spleen, left kidney, and part of his left lung and that his esophagus was torn from his stomach among other injuries. He has had to have much reconstructive surgery done on his internal organs. ANYWAY. Please pray for Preston, for the entire Lloyd family, and for Preston's grandfather. If you would like more information, please visit http://caringbridge.org/visit/prestonloyd/journal.Feel free to share this prayer request with any prayer group of which you may be a part. FINALLY, PLEASE keep children inside when you or a neighbor is mowing. This was one of my "soapdish" issues with my dad for years and Mike has heard me yammering on about it PLENTY of times as well. Thank you !Blessings ~Nicki"

Baby Cruz Update ...


PRAISE THE LORD!!!


Wonderful news concerning Baby Cruz…..Thank you for your prayers and have a blessed day!

Hi everyone!

Do you remember my good friend's little grandson, Cruz, that we asked you to be prayer warriors for because of his complications at birth back in January? Well, his grandmother send me an email saying he is now OFF the monitor and the meds and to thank each of you for your prayers. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH! God answers prayers! Don't you just love "happily ever after" endings?

Love to all,
Brenda
