Pray for Lorann Cook
Please pray for Lorann Cook right now (the wife of our worship leader, Jason, and my cousin).
She is in surgery right now due to complications from her delivery earlier this evening.

Dear Friends and Family,
Bangkok's 12 million residents are now being warned of flood water up to 5 feet in their area which could take as long as one month or more to recede. Supermarkets are trying desperately to keep shelves stocked as people rush to buy drinking water and food. Thailand is now facing a crisis situation. It is very sad, and very serious.

How about we pray right now?
Alright. This is Pastor Russ writing for some prayer. Here's the deal, I have 3 family members at Roper Hospital right now ...
-- My mom is in for round two of chemo (doing great!)
-- My uncle Walt has Pancreatitis -- It is super painful -- they are trying to get swelling down to do surgery
-- My brother-in-law Dylan just had to have an emergency appendectamy (surgery was a success)
In addition ...
-- Russ Bennett's grandmoather just passed away a few hours ago from an infection
-- Just found out Ryan Watkins and family are sick and he is responsibile for our production team on Sunday morning.
That's what I know about. I'm sure there are more things to pray about, but it just seemed like a good moment to send out a blog! It was also a good challenge for me not to just tritely say "I'm praying for you" and not pray. So, I'm just going to pray now. Please join me.
Reflecting on Psalm 24 and God's strength in battle.

Psalm 24:7-9
7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8Who is this King of glory?
The LORD, strong and mighty,
the LORD, mighty in battle!
9Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
