Warmest greetings, dear one …
We’re looking forward to wrapping up a ‘medical month’ and heading into health again.
On the 16th/Wednesday, I was having a fairly normal morning, taking care of appointments, with only nominal abdominal discomfort.. Yet as the day progressed, the pain worsened. Nora insisted I go to the ER, so around 3 pm I consented. Admitted, ER said I was having obstructed intestinal issues. That evening, the surgeon walked into my room and said he was going to operate immediately. Wow, I thought, this is one whiplash of a day! Oddly, the obstruction ended up being gas, so no other medical interventions were necessary except for rearranging some things and snipping some scar tissue off. Thank You, LORD!
Released the following Tuesday from the hospital, I have been in recovery mode and getting the staples out on August 1st. I’m moving about progressively better and have managed to get to most of my commitments this week.
David, my brother (5 years younger than me) who lives in Arkansas, is now out of surgery in Houston, TX, for a repeat of a dissected aorta, as he had one some 14 years ago. They were able to air-evacuate him to Houston, where specialists gave him a new non-mechanical aortic valve and aorta. He’s progressing exceptionally well, and even able to walk and sit already, with lots of help. We are grateful for GOD’s blessings in protecting David and that he is recovering already so well! The LORD is truly good to us both!
It seems we Emig males need to be on top of our blood pressure and keep it as low as we can without weakening our abilities to function, especially upright. 😀
Nora is wrapping up the end of her TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatments over the past 6 weeks, and it looks like it is helping some. We continue to pursue other, more extensive testing, one at the Center For Cognitive Health in October or November, where she will have more in-depth evaluations.

The Conferences planning in Iraq/Kurdistan and Lebanon for August and September continues to go exceptionally well, and I am super-excited to introduce you to the newest team member. J.B. Smith is a great friend of mine who has been involved in my men’s group and other gatherings for almost 15 years. J.B. has walked alongside Mike Parks and me a lot lately, going to our weekly FPI meetings, and personally giving a lot of direction during those times, especially as we wade into all the details of preparation work for these conferences in the Middle East. As an retiree from the Air Force who has done a lot of large-scale humanitarian activities in South America, he brings invaluable input into our labors. It is his first trip with this team, so a true step of faith on J.B.’ part. 👊 I can hardly wait to watch how much will move in his life and others, as he commits to this trip!
As you may have guessed, there have been a good number of medical financial obligations in these recent months. Your consideration and prayer in these are deeply appreciated!
Pat, Nora and I are so thankful for you with us on the journey!
In His loyal love (loving kindness) …
