Michael Ligon

Mike was discharged on Thursday, and he is happy to be at home. His throat is still hurting, and he is very hoarse, but being with his family and sleeping in his own bed will help him get well soon. We are grateful that this frightening episode came to such a happy conclusion.

Mike Ligon

Mike is recovering from emergency surgery on Saturday. He had an abscess in his throat due to a strep infection. His recovery so far has been very encouraging, and we hope that he will soon be able to move out of the ICU. Please hold him and Sarah in your prayers. 

Trayvon Martin

We ask for prayers for the parents of Trayvon Martin, for young African-American men who grow up with the weight of suspicion on their shoulders, for their parents, and for all of us. Fear and violence reside so close to each other in our hearts. Let us pray that we may learn to see each other's faces, and not merely projections of our own fear.
