Garbage disposal

I just got finished with a crazy busy week, I hated it. I hardly saw my wife, my dog, or any of my other friends. I spent my time either in class at Ashland, reading, writing papers, or writing sermons. I like doing all those things, but not doing only those things for 10-14 hours a day, it gets old. But as of this past Sunday things got better as Mandy and I went to go see the Messiah. Then Monday I replaced my garbage disposal all by my self. I was so proud until a friend told me to make sure that I take out the dishwasher plug. So I have to go home now and take care of that.

Odd experience yesterday: In class we talked about healing prayers and it really spoke to me cause I've been doing a lot of praying for the guy I blogged about a while back. After class we go to Ponderosa for lunch and I got to use the bathroom. There was an old guy using the urinal next to me and we started talking. He made some complaint about the weather and I said well at least it's not too cold outside. He then said he prefered the cold weather because he has lung cancer and the colder drier weather is better for him. I felt like I had to pray for this guy right then and there, but we were in the bathroom of ponderosa. I felt like are whole discussion was straight from the lecture I just heard in class. After we washed our hands I asked him what his name was and he told me it was Bill Isaac, so I told him mine and I let him know I would be praying for him. His face brightened up so much I knew I had to pray for him right there so I asked if I could and he said, "by all means." So I laid hands on him in the middle of a ponderosa bathroom and prayed for his healing. He said, "that just made my day." Before he left the restaurant I gave him my phone number so he could keep me informed. I'm waiting for the phone call to tell me he has been healed. I felt like I just had to pray for him. There was no choice, or very little, involved on my part.

I now know three people who I'm praying for that have cancer, Mariela Rodriguez, Johnie West, and Bill Isaac. Father, bring healing in miraculous ways to all three.

Kevin, when I read your post I was instantly reminded why Kevin Peterson is one of my favorite people in the entire world.
