Monday Update
Aaron and Dina Partington ask for prayers for Drew Gilmer, a co-worker of theirs. Drew was in a horrible wreck Saturday night which has left him in critical condition in intensive care. He suffered multiple life threatening injuries including severe trauma to the head and at this point there is uncertainty on whether there is any brain activity.
We try to be very careful and not share addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, etc with our prayer requests, since we have no control over who reads them. Facebook is a different story, though, so this is a test balloon.
