our God is a great God. one of my two friends who were in the motorcycle accident was home the very next day and i was able to visit with him a couple of times while i was home. he was laid up, and will need surgery, but for now he's physically doing well. the other friend was much worse off. he was in the icu until a few days ago. he's had many surgeries so far and is fighting the doctors, nurses, his family and friends as far as i hear. it's really hard for him to be so tied up and helpless. he tries to get his visitors to set him free. at least he's fighting, you know? but i don't know where his heart is. while i was in california they were not allowing visitors in to see him. i've known him for a number of years now and i know he's thought a lot about who Jesus is. however, his life has yet to show that he's come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. it's going to be a really long recovery for him.... maybe he'll start rethinking everything. please pray that the Lord will soften his heart to hear His word. pray the same for my other friend who is already going out again! we all need Jesus, no?
