Closing Up Shop for awile.
« on: July 08, 2010, 08:46:00 AM »
Due to a Family emgency I am going to close up for a couple of months.  

My Sister and Dad were involved in a very serious Motorcycle accident.  My Sister is doing fine, a lot of road rash and a broken leg.  My Dad is in very critical condition with bruising of the brain, 3 broken ribs, collasped lung, and broken collar bone.  This was caused by hitting a Black Bear after riding for 4 hrs, and less than 10 miles from home.

Mom will be needing some help around the house and a lot of support.  I will be doing what ever I can do on weekends and more if needed.  To help with travel expenses I will be selling a couple of my personal bows, which will be listed in the classified adds in a few days.  I have some inventory that will also be listed.  

I have not realized until now how fast your everyday life can change.

Thanks,
   Paul

Paul, prayers sent.  Take care of you family first.  I have had a few close friends in motorcycle accidents and know how much of a toll they can take and how much recovery time is needed.  I hope for the best for you and your family.

I am so very sorry to read this.

I pray that God will be with you and the rest of the family.

I pray for His peace that surpasses all understanding and for complete and total healing for your dad.

If there is anything we can do to help beyond prayers please don't hesitate to let it be known.

With the love of Christ
Your Humble Servant
God bless,Mudd
