Jerrod Shelton

Please read and PRAY!!

First of all, if you haven't heard, a great family and a very courageous young man, Jerrod Shelton, are here in Dallas in the hospital. He had a brain tumor removed and much is still up in the air. I spoke with Jerrod, Jerry, and Carla today and they asked for me to pass along their prayer requests. Jerrod is doing so great after his surgery and progressing very quickly - beyond what has been expected. He continues to suffer from ringing in his ears that he describes as two grindstones being rubbed together. He also has some vision difficulties and some speech difficulties (related to his hearing as well). The family asks that you continue:

1. Pray for Jerrod's hearing, sight, and speech.
2. Praise God for the successful surgery and continual recovery
3. Visit www.jerrodshelton.com for updated news, notes, and information.

This is a great family and have been role models for me for a long time. The graciousness that they have displayed during this hard time has been an inspiration to all who know them, and even some who don't know them! If you can, please pray and also visit the site and let them know that you are supporting them.
