Please Pray Today

Our dad is having a PEG tube (feeding tube) put in today at 12:30pm.  It is a relatively quick and "routine" procedure, but we still covet your prayers.  


Please pray for peace and comfort during the procedure.  It is very difficult for my dad to breathe when he is flat on his back (which he needs to do for this procedure).  As you can imagine, that alone causes some anxiety.  Please pray that the procedure goes well and that there are no complications.  Please pray for strength for our Mom as well as she is quite exhausted and physically feeling the effects of sleepless nights and heavy lifting/transferring as my dad becomes much more dependent on her.


This is a big step emotionally for our parents, and for our entire family.  Dad is still able to eat, but soon even that will be taken away from him, and today is another obvious sign of the rapid decline of this horrible disease.  


Thank you for your prayers.  We know, and are comforted knowing, that God alone is in control.  

“My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."  2 Cor 12:9

I Surrender All
Judson W. Van de Venter


All to Jesus I surrender; 

All to him I freely give; 

I will ever love and trust him, 

In his presence daily live. 

Refrain: I surrender all, I surrender all, 

all to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. 

All to Jesus I surrender; 

Humbly at his feet I bow, 

Worldly pleasures all forsaken; 

Take me, Jesus, take me now. 

All to Jesus I surrender; 

Make me, Savior, wholly thine; 

Fill me with thy love and power; 

Truly know that thou art mine.  

All to Jesus I surrender; 

Lord, I give myself to thee; 

Fill me with thy love and power; 

Let thy blessing fall on me. 

All to Jesus I surrender; 

Now I feel the sacred flame. 

O the joy of full salvation! 

Glory, glory, to his name!
