Prayer request

A former Lutheran seminarian friend from Chicago -- now living in Ohio -- went to the hospital this morning with chest pains. Probably not a heart attack, but they are running more tests. He has diabetes and is high risk for other reasons, too. (As you can see, weight is an issue.)

So say a prayer for him -- Steve Flower. He is just a month away from being downsized from the telephone company -- his job being sent to India -- so at least this happened while he still has health benefits.

I'm sure he'd rather just be well.

BTW, Steve helped us move up here from Chicago back when. A bunch of people helped us pack up, but Steve drove a car load of stuff up and helped us unload. I'm not sure we ever would have been able to get the heavy sofa into the house without his help.
