| Prayer Request My nephew was in a terrible car accident on Friday night at 12:30 AM. He was thrown 75 feet from his vehicle, but that is probably a good thing because it didn't land on him. This was on a rural county road, so there was not traffic by there and he layed in a ditch until the next morn at 10:30 when the mailman went by. It got down to 35 degrees that night and he wasn't even wearing a jacket. The mailman drove by thinking that that accident had been attended to, and then decided to go back and check. When he did he found Philip. He was in kidney failure and has spent the last couple of days in ICU. They took him into surgery to pop his hip back into place. His kidneys are now functioning, thank goodness. He is in very tough shape with all of his injuries. He also has a separated shoulder and may have that in both shoulders. He's hurting something awful. I feel so bad and was out of town when I heard about it and just got back today. Would you be so kind as to say a prayer for him...his name is Philip Hanson. When you pray, would you also ask for him to get the help he needs for his drinking problem? Yes...that is what got him into this mess in the first place. I just hope and pray he can heal from his injuries and also from this terrible addiction.

| Our prayers are with you!! My husband and I are both recovering alcoholics. I was sober 2 years and had a slip a few months ago but am back on track, my husband also Philip isnt so lucky he seems to slip every few weeks or can go as long as 6 months and slip again. Its a terrible terrible disease and I can totally understand what you are going through as I am in both sets of shoes. Maybe this accident will get him into a good recovery home or AA. Just remember the serenity prayer...its my lifeline... God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the diffence. I will be praying hard for him when I get on my knees tonight!! Dawn |

| Connie, I am so sorry that Philip has to go through this! Perhaps it will be a wakeup call when he realizes how fortunate he is that his accident wasn't much, much worse! Alcoholism is a horrible disease and is so hard to fight. We will be praying for him! Please let us know how he is doing. God bless you all.

| I am praying for Phillip's complete recovery both from his injuries & his addiction to this terrible legal drug. Maybe this will be what wakes him up & causes him to seek help. My parents were alcoholics & it is a terrible terrible demon. I pray that God will give you the wisdom to help in his recovery. |

| Here's a prayer for Philip... Dear Heavenly Father, please be with Philip as he recovers form this accident. Help him Lord to heal mentally and physically from it. Lord no one knows Philip as well as you do. You know just what he needs to mend and be healthy again. I pray you would work in his life to help him not only through the recovery of his injuries but also in the recovery of his alcoholic illness... Please bear the burden for him when he feels he can not bear it any longer... I pray you would put people in his life that would embrace him and help him through the process. I thank you for sparing his life, it is clear you have a better plan for him. Please help him find it and go on to be a healthy person who maybe can help others after he gets well... Thank You Lord for your unconditional love you bestow on us... Amen
