Dear Saints of the Most High God,

                       

            Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns for Sarah. You have blessed us beyond all expectations. One dear sister prayed in an email and then said, “I’ve never done this. In fact I rarely even pray aloud.” Praise God!

            The surgery went well. Sarah took a spinal for her anesthesia because of her allergies to pain medications. She did well. The doctor released the tension from one of her ligaments that was creating too much pressure. We asked what does it mean to release it, and were told, “he cut it.” Then he removed the bursa, which has been inflamed for two years. He did not have to adjust the other ligament, but did split her gluteus maximus, the large buttocks muscle, and spread part of it over the hip bone for protection.

            Dr. Sinha believes this will significantly reduce her chronic pain. She is expected to make a full recovery from the surgery in about six weeks. God willing, Sarah will continue some exciting ministry plans and also the scheduling her wedding.

            My great intentions to report more on the coming book and activities has joined the large deposit I have already made in paving material for the road to hell. (Another opportunity for forgiveness.)

            Thank you again for standing with us.

God bless you. I love you,

Frank
