James 5:14-18 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

Well, David is IN Roger C. Peace Rehab hospital (part of Greenville Memorial Hospital in Greenville, SC.) The day started out with us thinking that everything was set for David's transfer to Roger Peace but when Jenny arrived at Summit Place this morning, we received word that our health insurance had refused to pay for the Rehab hospital. We prayed and appealed the decision and by about 1 pm we received word that they had reversed their decision and were tentatively approving his admittance. We received final word of approval at about 3 pm. By 4:15 Jenny and I (in separate vehicles) were following the medical transport with David for the 20 mile trip from Summit Place to Greenville Memorial. We were favorably impressed by our initial reception at Roger Peace. The nurses and therapists we met seemed competent and intent on helping David improve. PLEASE PRAY THAT DAVID WILL IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS SO THAT HE CAN CONTINUE TO RECEIVE INTENSIVE THERAPY. HE WILL BE RE-EVALUATED WEEK-BY-WEEK FOR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM AT ROGER PEACE REHAB. Please pray for our endurance and patience. Pray that Jenny will learn everything we need to know to bring David home. Pray that Robert would have the strength and wisdom to complete David's room soon (He received approval from the session of Second Presbyterian Church to take most of the next few weeks off to work on the renovation)

Our time with David at Summit Place seems to be over. We are very impressed with that Nursing facility and would like to publically express our appreciation for all they did for David and for us. They are a wonderful group of people and were very kind and helpful to us in our hour of need. They even gave David and Jenny a going away gift: a video monitor so that Jenny can keep up with David even when she is not in the room. It should be very helpful to us. If you ever need a great nursing facility, Summit Place is the place.

Malachi 3:16-4:6 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the LORD of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. “You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says the LORD of hosts. “Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. “He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.”
