December, 2006

THANK YOU for the hundreds of e-mails, cards, letters, phone-calls, and visits I received during my illness and birthday On Friday, November 17, I hit that 84-year mark. It would be impossible for us to answer and acknowledge them all but they all meant so much and were such a blessing. To each one—God bless you is our prayer.

Saturday, December 2, 6:00 pm, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of Antioch Baptist Bible College and Seminary.

The third week of December, 18-22, I am scheduled for surgery (thoracic stent graft) at Emory University Hospital. Dr. Karthik Kasirajan is to do the surgery. Only ten doctors in the Nation perform this surgery and Dr. Kasirajan is one of the Doctors. The operation is scheduled because of the Aortic Dissection that I had on June 12, 2006. I will print the exact day of that week as soon as I hear. I am asking ALL of my friends who believe in prayer to be praying for me that day. In the words of an old song, ‘I need the prayers of those I love.’

I thank God for my family, Wana, my wife of 64 years, Jean Ann, our daughter, Mark, our son, and Bill Fogg, our son-in-law. They have been such a source of strength in the decision to have this surgery. Of course the great strength has been our Lovely Lord. Wana said tonight, ‘We are grateful to Our Lord for His Presence.’
