This morning my step-father is in the hospital. Details are sketchy, but it may be an emergency gall bladder surgery. Please pray for Irv this morning, as well as the surgeons who will be working on him.

Thanks for the prayers! 🙂
The doctors decided they were unconvinced it was the gall bladder, so they spent the days performing tests on him. Irv is still in pain, but at least he’s not in surgery.

Irv had his gall bladder removed laproscopically this morning and he’s recovering at the hospital now. He should be home in a couple of days.
Thanks again for the prayers. 🙂

About Me
Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.
Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.
Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
