I just got off the phone with my mom. My dad is in the emergency room with a broken elbow, a broken pinky, and possible fracture in his hip after falling off a roof he was helping to tar-paper today. A roll of the tar paper began falling off the roof, and dad tried to catch it. He landed on concrete, so that explains the broken bones. I know my family would sincerely appreciate your prayers. My father is 62, and he's been in several physical accidents in the recent past. Not only does his body have a more and more difficult time recuperating, but his spirit does too. Please pray that he would feel the presence of God in his heart stronger than ever.
I will be in Macomb, IL on business tomorrow so I won't be posting, but I would really appreciate comments on this blog letting me know you said a prayer when you read this.
I've said before how much I appreciate everyone who reads this and leaves comments. Please help me out now in this time of struggle. Also, feel free to email this request to our mutual friends.
God Bless

I will definitely be praying for your family, Luke. Especially for your parents and for you.
I'll share this with the rest of my family, and they'll be praying too.
Luke,
I am praying for your Dad. You and your family are also in my prayers.
Broken bones are no fun at all...and i've seen pretty much everything since i work in radiology. Hopefully it isn't too bad! I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Luke - I am so sorry and how scary. I will be praying for your family. My dad was laid up all last summer after knee surgery and it is an adjustment that needs prayers, so I pray for a healthy recovery and for your mothers part in knowing how to help and what to do for him.
My parents are in their sixties too, and I know how scary it is facing the mortality of your own parents. I will most definitely be praying for your family.
God Bless.
I have a ton of respect for your dad and your family and I think a lot of them. I have faith that everything will work out (Romans 8:28) not because I know your dad, but because I know our Heavenly Father.
Prayin.
Luke-
You and your family are in my prayers. Keep us updated.
God Bless-
