Fellow member Bigman (Ray) is seriously ill in the hospital and having surgery today. Please say a prayer for Ray. He's a good man, a good father, husband and friend. His family depends on him.
I spoke with Ray this afternoon from his bed in the hospital and he sounds strong in spirit although weak from his two surgeries. I'm not clear on the exact cause and nature of his health problems but if he had not gone to the doctor when he did he would not be with us today. Continue to keep Bigman in your prayers and thoughts, especially as he spends the holidays in the hospital.
