Dear FCFM Friends,
Well I will begin by offering my wishes that you all had
a great Christmas! This time of year can be very emotionally challenging
for many, and I pray that those of you on this list enjoyed the fellowship of
family and friends! I also want to remind each of you that you can always
contact me if you have challenges in your life that requires prayer, or even
simply a friendly voice! This list is to build true and meaningful
connections, and please know that I am here if I can offer anything to any of
you!
Concerning my brother-in-law John Paul... I want
to thank you for all of your prayers, and express my appreciation for your kind
thoughts. John Paul is doing extremely well, all considering. It is
a sort of a miracle, once again demonstrating that our God is a mighty
God! John Paul did in fact experience a massive heart attack. He
will of course require significant medical care for an extended period of
time. He is doing extremely well however, and has been taken completely
off all of the life support systems! In fact he is doing so well that he
was sitting up in his hospital bed working on his lap top the other
morning! They are now making sure that all of his vital signs remain
stable, and then will schedule him for by-pass surgery. They are hoping
that this will be performed early next week, either Monday or Tuesday. It
is quite amazing that he has done so well, when it was not looking good at
all. Again, we have a mighty God!
I hope that you all are now planning your New Years
activities, and I hope that you will find this holiday season to be safe and
happy! Take care, and don't forget to show someone that you love
them!
Your Friend in Christ,
Pastor James Kelm
