I promise to get back to normal posting soon, but right now I have a pretty serious prayer request.  I’m at the hospital right now…my pastor (and very good friend) was in a car accident Wednesday night with his wife.  They were hit broadside by a drunk driver, driving a big delivery truck.  It’s pretty bad.  I’ve spent most of this week here at the hospital praying with his family and other people from the church.  Jorge is in an induced coma right now.  He was bleeding internally as well as within his brain.  Earlier today they’ve managed to stabalize that, but this afternoon one of his lungs collapsed.  Probably within the next hour or so, he’ll be going in for his fourth or fifth surgery since the accident.  His wife Vivianna was released from the hospital today.  She’s banged up, but is doing okay.  The news of how Jorge was doing was kept from her until tonight (she just wasn’t ready to hear it).  But the family felt it was time for her to know.  So as you can imagine, she’s pretty upset.

Jorge is probably one of my closest friends here.  He and his wife helped run the home while I was home in Canada this past summer.  I can’t even express what he means to us.  He’s been one of the few guys in my guys’ lives who accepted them unconditionally.  We love him a lot.

So if you could pray, it would be greatly appreciated.  It’s been a emotional rollercoaster.  There’ve been a few moments when we thought we were losing him, but he’s hung in there.  God is definitely working.  But it’s still pretty hard.  I’ll keep you updated as I know more.

Thanks everyone…
