Title: If you have time, how about a tiny prayer?UPDATE 8-26-07
Post by: bowmac on July 15, 2007, 10:05:00 PM
I'm the kind of fellow that doesn't like to ask for much of anything but if you guys have room for a tiny prayer I would appreciate it. In May I found out that I had Cancer. We started treatments immediately. In June I found out that my position of the past 19 years was going to be outsourced to a private Company as of July 1st. Treatments have went well according to the Doctors. I'm a pretty good sized guy but have lost a little over 30 pounds without trying through this ordeal. Reports are that they think they got it or it went back into re-mission. My Wife works and I am going to draw some un-employment (haven't done that in 31 years). We will make it okay, we have one child still at home but he's okay with everything. Even though I am still pretty good sized, I have had to drop down in bow poundage. I'm now shooting #50 @ 28", keeping in the Spirit of things We decided I should compete in the Southern Iowa Triple Crown 3D shoots. I am happy to say that I pulled off 2nd place in the first leg and it looks like I will be in the top 3 of the 2nd leg. The final leg isn't until the end of August. I'm being very positive to the situation of my health and am not letting it slow down some of the things I love (especially my Family). I guess if I have a message over any of this it is, I never dreamed some bug or whatever could bring me down to my knee's but it did. So if you have a little time please just say a little word for me and mine. Thanks everybody-Court, Cindy & Damon

Courtney,

With your good attitude, you are your own best medicine. Keep the Son in your eyes.

Lord, once more this demon cancer strikes someone and we ask that you protect Courtney, his family and help him find work. Continue to minister to his physical needs, according to yoru will, Lord. Help him to sustain his faith, and positive view of the road ahead, trusting in Your Supreme Power and Love to hold him in your loving arms.

Court,

been out a lot during July and just noticed this request.  I'll be lifting you and your family up in prayers.  Glad to hear that you'll be competing in the Triple Crown.  Congratulations on the second.  Boy, you sure could give me a pointer or two... notice I didn't turn my card in at the Ottumwa Ikes shoot?  there was a reason for that!  Let's get together to do some stumping before deer season starts.  But in the meantime I'll be praying for you bro!

-Tim

Will be thinking and praying for you this morning. It is a difficult situation to go through, but when the end result is relying on the hand of God to see you through, life tends to take on a different perspective. Praying for you and your family .... John

Thanks everybody. As of today I have been officially declared clean. Whatever that means, I shower daily anyway. Anyhow my Spirits are lifted even more. By the way I was lucky and won the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown. Thanks again and take care. Court

P.S. Tim, we do need to get together for some stumpin when you can get away. All I could probably teach you about shooting is some bad habits.

Halleluha!!! Great news and a great sense of humor! I especially love coming here and seeing some joyful noise being made! Neat.

Prayers will continue for cleansing throughout to continue and not just from the shower! :)

Thanks everybody for your prayers and concerns. I thought I would let everyone know how the Southern Iowa Triple Crown ended up. I'm more than happy to say that I was lucky and won the Championship, a second place and two first places as of this past weekend. Also I did pretty good this summer with my selfbows, 2 second places and one first place. As far as my Health, things are going pretty good. Don't have the stamina I once had but that could be given to ole' age huh?? At present I am semi-retired and self-employed in business. Thanks again and take care. Court
