Hi, guys! Just a quick "praise report" about last night. One of the things we did last night was pray for various needs of ourselves and others--I had a prayer request on behalf of one the young men at work, Paul, whose grandfather (who raised him) had had what was thought to be several strokes and is in ICU. I spoke to Paul this morning and told him we had prayed for his grandfather. He thanked us, of course, and let me know that his grandfather's condition is now much less serious than they had thought. It wasn't strokes, it turned out that Paul's grandfather is diabetic and had been warned against eating foods high in potassium. The family didn't realize that tomatoes and cantelope have lots of potassium, and apparently they had been eating a lot of those. So the reaction of the elevated potassium levels shut down his kidneys temporarily and caused stroke-like symptoms. Paul said his grandfather should be out of ICU and into a regular room by tomorrow. Praise God!!
