"We are all praying constantly for you Mark.
Hey,Mark, I have been where you are with Cancer, two major heart attacks, open heart surgery and then two major strokes. They gave me six months tops and I was at the bottom of the well ! Then--I gave my life to Christ and HE has given me six wonderful years. The good Doctors say "No Way" Christ said 'I can use this old goat" --Well aquit dying and start living -- it's not the end it's a new beginning! I got remarried to an Angel three years ago and met people who really care for me. When I couldn't ride my horse anymore I bought a Mule and cart--When I had to give up my Harley I bought a 600 Hp Drag boat. When I pray about you I feel Christ has a job for you too so plan to be around many more years---JUST DO TWO THINGS FOR ME---Give the stress and pain to our precious LORD and go out and do something CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!" - Charlie Giles, Missouri

"We thank you, God, for the blessing of great health, when we have it,
And for relatively good health while it's still ours!
O, Lord, teach us to recognize that for most of your creatures,
The cup of life is filled only mid-way.
May we learn to see it as half-full and not half-empty!

Provide wisdom and skill to those who minister to our needs
In hospitals, In medical offices, and in our homes.
Grant patience and strength to those in our families
Who share our lives in good times and when we're ill.

Bless those survivors who've been cured of the cancer that's afflicted them,
And keep them out of harm's way.
For those of us who have not been cured, give us the wherewithal to keep on going.
Meantime embolden the efforts of those who labor on the front-lines of scientific research,
As they seek to find the means to end pain, stress, disease and death.

Reinvigorate our bodies and spirits with Your love, O Lord,
For You are the Healer of all.
As it is said in the Bible:
" Ri-fa-ay-nu vi-Ni-ra-pay - Hebrew for:
Heal us and we shall be healed."

For in the relay of life, You are the source of salvation and help,
For us and for all humanity.
And let us say: Amen.
