The Minister's Cat: Winning in Overtime

Winning in Overtime

Today we made our first foray to the Paralympics and saw a sledge hockey game between the Czech Republic and Korea. At the end of regulation time it was 1-1. In overtime the Czech Republic scored to win the game. The atmosphere was tense in OT because the first goal wins the game which causes me to give thanks for the Christian life since Christ has won the game before it even starts. The freedom I have in Christ enables me to walk through any situation ie quadraplegia with confidence.

Congratulations Johnny, this is almost as exciting as if you won a gold medal yourself. Keep up the good work. Love you, Lois

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
