Fr. Nigel Update 7:45 AM

Fr Nigel update 7:45 AM
Thursday 11/5/09 7:45 AM
Fr. Nigel Mumford continues in critical but stable condition in ICU at Saratoga Hospital. Praise God for each one of you – your prayers are having a positive impact on Fr. Nigel’s healing. Although he is in critical condition, Lynn constantly sees “mustard seeds” of encouragement. The fact that his oxygen numbers are remaining the same or improving slightly is a true sign that your prayers are hitting their mark. The battle against this pneumonia is a difficult one and will only be won by long term vigilance and prayer.
Please continue to pray for :complete healing of his lungs; protection of all of his organs; elimination of his moderate fever and whatever pesky source is creating this fever;
Lynn to have rest and peace so that she may endure the long road of recovery ahead, and peace for all the Mumford family. Thank you for your determined prayers. God hears your prayers and is answering them. Praise be to God

Psalm 92:12-15

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (Psalm 92:12)
      Father, as our days are, so let our strength be. (From Deuteronomy 33:25b)

Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. (Psalm 92:13)
      Holy Spirit, please guide us so that we are never uprooted from your courts.

They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, (Psalm 92:14)

To declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Psalm 92:15)
      Bless the testimony of our lips, Jesus. Let it be a true witness to what you have done in our lives. Thank you.

      Notes from the Front Line

***** Please pass on that in the midst of fasting yesterday afternoon I had a vision of angels in nurse outfits taking care of Fr. Nigel. God bless. Hap Maguire

***** Torre no time to elaborate because I’m at work. Focus on Nigel’s fever. Have not felt this intense urge to pray so hard since the day this all started. I felt the eyes of my heart lock on that fever like a tiger locks its eyes on it prey. So intensely! Take the fever down. Lisa
