Personal Note--I covet your prayers....

On Sunday night, I was planting a tree. In order to do so, I had to dig through the great soil of Odessa, Delaware. You know the type, rocks, sand, clay, and dry as a bone. Well, my wife went to Lowes and purchased a pick axe for me to use. I was hoping for a powered auger, but that just wasn't in the budget.

I was about 2 feet down and 2 feet wide when I began to swing the axe side to side to chip away some rock, err, I mean dirt--at least that is what they call the soil here. Just as I was thinking that I ought to be careful not to hit my leg...you guessed it...the sharp end of the pick axe found its way to the inside part of my left knee.

Long story short, I finished the job but found myself in a great deal of pain later that night. I was in so much pain, and continue to be in so much pain that I cannot walk right now. I am asking for prayer for healing if you think of it. I am on some pain meds and antibiotics and plan to see an orthopedics doctor today. Please pray that my beautiful wife would be able to keep up with her fourth child now--me. She is such a blessing.
