Bud,
I've missed your stream of emails. Don't be a stranger if there is anything...anything at all (besides ongoing prayers), that I can do.
Lord, sometimes we get tired and weary from the trials of this world and we forget how you walk besides us constantly and carry us when we can no longer carry ourselves. Help us and our friend Dave to feel your strength and presence constantly amidst our trials. Place the Holy Spirit on your servant and help him throw off the maladies that plague him heart, mind and body.
In your holy name we ask these things, that Dave might be able to witness even more strongly to your Glory, then he does now.
