Grandpa Bob's Fall

Hi All,

Sunday morning while getting his weekly bath, the chain on my dad's lift broke and he fell into the bathtub, breaking his upper leg. This is the second leg he has broken. The last time was when he tried to put on his own socks! Ouch! He was taken by ambulance to Carle and had surgery to insert a rod on Monday morning. He will hopefully come home tomorrow.
He was really bubbly last Saturday night as he told us about his experience at Rural King that day where he met a man in line and they struck up a conversation about the Lord. The man told Dad that he didn't have any reservations about dying because he has a "reservation"!. Of course he was referring to eternal life. Dad said that he felt like hugging the man; they were so united in spirit. Mom feels that it was God's preparation for what was to come the next day for Dad. The Lord seems to give us strength and courage when we really need it.
On the Binion front, Sam had a CT scan on his neck today and the radiologist said he could barely see where there had been a break. It has healed so well. He was also able to take off his neck brace. Praise God for His healing hand!

Love, Cristal

So sorry about Bob's fall. I'm sure he will have a speedy recovery! Praise God for Sam's healing:) All of you continue to be in my prayers.

Please keep my family in prayer as well. We lost my nephew this past week to a heart attack. We all know that he was saved, and just last week he told his Mom, that he had never been happier. He knew God had healed him of all his past.

Also prayers for Sister Taylor...she believes she is healed from cancer, but has had a set back this week. I'm believing with her that she is healed.
