Trying to keep up

What a day at LTG!  3 powerful services today... What a great place to be!  Anyway, my apologies to everyone for not updating more often about dad.  It has been a long couple of weeks but here is the latest.  He is home and doing well.  He is weak but getting stronger everyday.  He is itching to get back to normal and, as you  can imagine,  that is the challenge for us!  Getting him to slow down a bit... So keep praying for dad and we’ll see him back in the pulpit soon.  We are planning on doing video visits with him on the website and in the services to keep him connected and let people see how he is doing.  For all those who have called and I haven’t been able to get back with yet please be patient with us on getting info out.  We are literally trying to handle hundreds of calls and emails and we appreciate your concern and prayers for dad.  It means the world to him.  I did want to let everyone know that a great friend of LTG passed away last week.  Jim Graham has been a blessing to our community of believers for many years.  He will be greatly missed but I can tell you that if anyone was ready to meet the Lord, Jim was the man.  Our prayers are with his wonderful family during this tough time.  Jim’s Funeral will be at Living To Go Church Monday Nov. 24th at 1pm with visitation beginning at 11am.

Update on the Happy Pastor

Hello everyone...
It has been a crazy couple of days around LTG and our family.  I’m going to use this blog because it reaches so many with info.  Sunday dad had a heart attack during the 8:45 service at LTG.  He walked off the platform and the staff rushed him to the hospital where they were able to catch it early on and were successful in placing a stint in the blocked artery.  The bottom line is that he is alive and well.... The heart attack did cause more damage than we thought and they are keeping an eye on him for a few days to make sure his heart is strong enough to get back to his normal life.  However, I do think that his definition of normal is about to change! :)  
I do want to remind everyone that what dad really needs now is your prayers and rest.  He will be in the ICU indefinitely and we are encouraging everyone to wait to visit him when he is strong enough to be in an actual room.  As you can imagine, I have been inundated with emails and phone calls and there is no possible way we can get to all of them so I hope that this post will answer most of your questions.  We love all of you so much and the outpouring of love and prayers has been humbling and a wonderful encouragement to dad and the rest of our family.  
I will keep you posted via facebook and this blog as often as I can.
