LOOKING FOWARD TO BEING PAIN FREE!!!

Hi All:
Just a brief note to say that all of the Doctors appointments were completed as scheduled this past week. With all the tests and exams being passed permitting the MUCH needed knee surgery for Judy to be done this coming Wednesday the 26th,, Praying that all goes well. After the rehab is completed she then will get to the rest of her pain problems of hips,feet, and lower back.

We also have lots of friends and families that need prayer this week.
a) CRM Chaplain Don Baker- health/strength/ministry
b) CRM Chaplain Jack Gregory- health/strength/ministry
c) Alice Armstrong[John's cousin] in Iowa City hospital-health
d) Jay Stinson [former Pastor and friend of John]-health and guidance as he prepares for an interim pastorate.
e) The family of Marty Borquin of Davenport,Ia.-who passed away this last week at 52 [he was a close friend of John's brother.
f) OUR NATION LEADERS.
g)OUR MILITARY SERVICE PERSONNEL
h) John's son Mike's wife who NEEDS a transplant urgently!!

Of course we are always happy to hear from those who support us with their prayers, calls and notes (both electrically or regular mail) We also want to say thank-you to those that support our Ministries through CRM web site. It is with all these supports, that carries through all the trials that we endure although we realize that ours is not as much as what JESUS endured for US.
We thank GOD for allowing us the opportunities that cross our paths to show our love for him.

May GOD continue to bless and guide each of you
HUGS The Longs

Thank you for the update! Glad her knee surgery is sooner rather than later. Lord willing the healing will be quick and the rest of her pain can be diagnosed and treated as well! Praying for you guys!

Praying for Judy's surgery and speedy recovery. Praying for John, also. Rejoicing that the results of the tests makes it possible for her to move forward toward freedom from pain.
Thank you for your prayers for Don. We are so blessed to be in God's service with you.
