Thanks, Dennis, I've been in prayer for and thinking about Ray constantly this morning.  Praise be to our Lord for bringing him through one more hurdle and I pray that it is HIS will for his continued healing.   Bless his heart, he is fighting quite a battle!

Dear Ray,

Glad to hear your Surgery went well, defying the prediction of the experts. Hopefully, with better ambulation through this Hip replacement it will aid you in dealing with the other health issues. The prayers of My Wife and I go out in your behalf.

Kind Regards, Samson.

I'm sure that I can't compare myself with Ray, but I understand a little from my own knee replacement. My prayers are with Ray and his wife for the blessing of healing to restore them both.

We are just so thankful for the quick and wonderful report on Ray.  Our hearts are filled with gratitude that God intervened on his behalf to bring him through all that he has and then gave him strength to go through this surgery... and to think they will have him up and about already by tomorrow.  (It's amazing).  We also wanted to say.... we were both moved to tears in reading all the lovely things Ray had to share with us concerning his wife.  God knew what he was doing when he orchestrated their union... and God knew there would be a strength in their relationship that would allow him to do the work that He had for Ray to do!!  That's AWESOME...!!!  So we have all kinds of thanks to the Father.... and trust that it's His will to see Ray lifted up to health and strength to go on with the wonderful work.  We just feel such a NEED to have him to be an active part of our lives. 
We feel blessed to be a part of being able to hold Ray, his lovely wife, and all of BT's team of workers.  God bless you ALL!!!

Hi Jacquie:
 
Gina asked if I would ask you to pray for her friend Ray.  He is in advanced stages of cancer and needs surgery on his hip tomorrow but it is not without huge risks because of his condition.  She asked if we would pray for him and his wife and the doctors.
 
Thank you Jacquie.
 
Hugs, Judy

Hi Jacquie:
 
Gina just called me to let me know that her friend Ray came through his operation without difficulty and asked me to tell you thank you so much for praying for him and sending it out to the prayer warriors.  She said that the biggest concern of his doctors was him not making it due to the anesthesia but he did!
 
Now we are praying for his full recovery without infection or complications.
 
Thank you Jacquie!
I love you, Judy

You're welcome



So, this goodhearted woman, Jacquie Carter, is Judy's workmate at the Marriott Corporate Headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland.  She prays for me and Judy all the time.  All I have to do is tell Judy I need prayer and request she have Jacquie pray for me, and she does, every time, and the results are astounding.  We love Miss Jacquie.

James 5:16  The fervent, effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

God bless the doctors and nurses and Dennis for giving us the awesome news!!

WOW!  What an example Ray is to all of us who may be facing terrible trials by fire at one time or another. Last night as I was praying for Ray and others who are suffering so much right now, my thought was that I MUST remember whenever I'm tempted to complain with my arthritis and other pains of this old body, I will hush to just thank God for being blessed!  May God bless Ray that he may continue improvement and my prayers are with he and his wife and family!

I just got off the phone with Ray. He is having a harder day than yesterday he said the pain is much worse.  My experience with surgery of family and friends is the second and third days are the hardest. 

His spirits are well though and he told me to tell the forum that he wanted to "thank you for your prayers, he knows he would not be with us today if it wasn't for all of you praying earnestly for his health and wellbeing"

He hopes to write a note to everyone in a few days, I hope he doesn't push it as getting better is more important.

Thanks Craig;

Many of us have been through major surgery before but of course we haven't been diagnosed with terminal cancer for going on three years now either.  God himself is sustaining Ray at this point and the fact that he is still with us is testament to the fact that He is Lord!!  God's will be done.  We pray according to what must be.  God isn't done with Ray quite yet and I'm standing with him looking forward to the future.  All glory to the Father!!

Post by: Gina on February 25, 2012, 02:24:49 PM
I woke up last night about 4 in the morning California time with horrible stomach pains.  My first thought was of Ray and how much pain he might be in.  I knew that the pain I was experiencing wasn't even a 5th of what he is most likely experiencing and I almost fainted just from the thought of what he must be feeling.  My heart goes out to him.  He's dealing with that surgery and the pain of his cancer.  The thought of having to deal with something like makes my brain shut off.  I pray he starts healing well and very soon.
