Last nite I had a wonderful conversation with Liz (my cousin) 's husband. He told me all about how the horrible accident occured. He said first thing that God had been using this to perform so many miracles and was using all of the events to bring him glory. He said that if the accident had just been 10 minutes later that not only would have been there, but their daughter (age 19) , Courtney would have been there as well. Chris said that night after Liz surgery, he drove back to the scene of the accident and sat in the car and prayed, thanking and Praising God for what He had already done through this and he Praised God because it could have even been worse. He prayed for the family who lost their son and for the Recovery Ministry that he had just begun at their church. Liz is fighting very strongly and making good progress. She had surgery on her abdomen Monday which basically was a 'resection' of her intestines. She also has a broken leg but due to something having completely protruded through it will take a LONG time for recovery. Our prayeres should continue for Liz's friend Laura who is fighting for her life at Duke Medical Center.
Tomorrow we will meet my mom and her brothers and sisters for lunch. Mom is here from TX and we are all looking forward to being together._
