Mary Oliver, Ruth's sister, was just diagnosed with cancer in her throat, lungs and stomach. Ruth asks that we pray. Let's pray for Mary, her family and all those that will be walking her through this season. And let's pray for Ruth.

Marie is my daughter and Michael my son-in-law. They own a medical billing and coding company, CENTRASOL, in Burleson. Their biggest client client, CareFlight, opted to hire a company to manage their business operations. Rather than retaining the services of CENTRASOL, the management company brought in their own medical billing and coding service. Unfortunately, as a result 23 of their 31 employees had to be laid off. Marie and Michael are negotiating contracts with municipalities in Tennessee, California and other places to get the business up and going again, as active as before. They are requesting prayer for successful negotiations so that all of the laid off folks can come back to work.

Richard Brown has a brain tumor and has lost movement in his legs. He will be seeking a surgeon this next week and could use all the prayer he can get.
