Yesterday while standing in line to pay for a few items at a local Dollar General store, I noticed a headline on the cover of a magazine in the rack strategically placed to encourage last minute purchases.

Thanks For Praying
A quick note to thank everyone for praying for me. Today’s surgery went well. I’m home resting, taking pain pills, and eating soup.
