Prayer Request – Dr. Don Cooley
Dr. Don Cooley is the Pastor of Hart Haven Baptist Church and a friend and mentor of mine. On Saturday, he got dizzy and his speech became garbled. They rushed him to the hospital, and thankfully, ruled out a stroke. Unfortunately, the latest news is that he has a small brain tumor. They don’t think it’s malignant but it is in a delicate spot. They are transferring him from Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville to Shands in Gainesville, Florida for consultation.
As I was walking and praying for Don tonight, I noticed that the entire hill was lit up with lightning bugs. I thanked God for the lightning bugs. We don’t have them in Jacksonville anymore because pesticides have killed them off. As I watched those lightning bugs, it dawned on me that Don is like those bugs, lighting up the world around him. The light of Christ shines through him everywhere he goes.
Don and his wife Char had their first grandson just shortly before Bob and I were gifted with our grandson, Noah. My prayer is that our grandsons will get to see lightning bugs and be able to witness first hand the light of Christ shining through Dr. Don Cooley. Join me in my prayers for this sweet and faithful family who serves God and others above all else.
Luke 11:36
If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays. NASU
