Prayer Request

Patty wrote " Louis left to head back to Iraq on Wednesday before Memorial Day. That day two soldiers in Iraq were killed. One of them was a good friend and fellow company commander. At the same time Louis's company moved into Ramadi, Iraq. Needless to say the entire week and weekend were just sad, hectic, and overwhelmiing. We had meetings, memorials and of course a friend and her baby son to take care of.

Then over this weekend Louis lost a soldier in his company; and three were injured. One was sent back here to Landstuhl; and will be flown out to Walter Reed tomorrow. So, again, it has been a somewhat overwhelming week.

I went to see the soldier yesterday; and watched them pin on his purple heart. The emotions that I felt would be hard to describe. I saw several other soldiers that were in icu and they are just remarkable guys!! They wanted to come see our soldier and make sure he was doing okay, they seem to be doing fine, but they have this look in their eyes that is hard to explain.

I would like to ask for prayers for Louis, his unit, the soldiers, and our community. I spoke with Louis on the phone; and he was tired, but sounded strong. He said this fight was different then before; they are doing some very hard work. I am reading psalm 37 a lot; and trying not to be scared, but some times it can get overwhelming."

"Tough times don't last... Tough people do !!! My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim. She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried! recently at 3 months, and now we know why. The more people that Pray for her to be healed, the better.  Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray! for the HEALING of Cindy and the removal of all cancer in her body, so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5 year old son, Michael. The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is only a request for your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our request for healing! No words can express the power we have when we each do a little to come together.  Regards, Cindy's in-love husband - Gary. Thank you, and please send it to the far reaches of our world. Until People know that you care about them personally, they will never be very interested in your faith."
