Oh my heavens, I am so shocked to read this! God keep watch on our Joel! I don't post here much anymore, as I have resorted to lurking myself for the most part. Since my husband was deployed to Afghanistan, now most of my time is spent with church groups and various other groups, making up packages and goods to send over to our troops. I am so sad that this has happend to Joel and will certainly start a prayer chain around the churches for him as well as keeping him and his family in my own prayers.

Joel had a stroke and had to have surgery to stop the bleeding in his brain. He is still in Neurology ICU but is making such good progress that he will be going to a private room very soon. I talked to Linda several times and asked if I could post something about Joel on the List serve and she was delighted. She has been getting so many phone calls she can't handle all of them. Tonight Linda was on cloud nine. Joel's speach is coming back and seems to be doing great. Please remember him and Linda in your prayers. Linda will keep me updated and I will pass the word on to all of you through this venue. -- Clovis ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
