Update from Chaplain Carol Rix: Here is a list of what I found out at the Nuero-Opthamalogist yesterday! The only thing on here that something can be done about is the Cataracts (which is surgery). All that’s left is prayer! So I’m requesting all your prayers! To be able to read and to be able to drive again and not lose my eyesight. Thank you and God Bless you all!
1. Convergence of the eyes: How the eyes work together with the brain and the rest of the body to perceive images and help us navigate the world. It is an extension of the work of more traditional ophthalmologists and optometrists who specialize in how the eyes receive images. In Parkinson’s Disease the eye loses the ability to work together with the brain and the rest of the body to perceive images, i.e. double vision occurs.
2. Vitreous Gel Degeneration: This is when the eye loses the gel in the eyeball itself. Causing blurred vision and can eventually cause blindness.
3. Cataracts: Cataracts (shown) and glaucoma can happen at any age, but are most often associated with people over 60. A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It can easily be removed and replaced by a special lens in the eye during surgery.
4. Distortion of the Retina Surface: This occurs when the retina in the back of the eye begins to deteriate with age. It is a build up of cells along the retina in the back of the eye. Causing blurred vision and problems with driving at night. This will continue with age and can cause blindness.

Pray for a friend who is struggling fiercely with life right now. Pray for life, peace and healing in all areas.

From Ben Krakora: Please pray for race track worker, George Stevens. Due to incarceration of his son and daughter-in-law, George and his wife are taking care of five grandchildren. Aside from the part-time work at the track, George doesn’t have full-time employment. He is going to school to learn HVAC and should graduate in six months. So, the future looks bright, but right now is tight. Please pray for God to meet the physical and spiritual needs of this family.

Today is the National Day of Prayer.  God commands us to pray for our leaders, those whom He has put in place to accomplish His will.  No matter what our political views we must “lift them up” in prayer that our nation may dwell in peace.  Also pray for the peace of Israel.  Also pray for all who claim the name of God.  2 Chronicles 7:14 states, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  Our land needs healing and it is dependent upon God’s people to humble themselves and seek His face and repent.  “The world is the way it is because the church is the way it is,” God told me during a Bible study.  How very true.

Please keep Stephen Johnson and his wife Linda in your prayers.  Linda has recently had brain surgery.  Prayers are needed for healing.
