Hey, all. Thanks again to everyone for your prayers. No doubt God is helping me. I'm sure it is Him who has protected me from this being a heart problem.
Today started off fairly well. Marsh and me went to Wal-Mart to get some groceries. Whew...that place has gotten bigger or something. They told me that my strength would be low for a few days after the heart cath, but I didn't think it really would. (yeah, dumb, I know). Came home and went straight to bed. Got up a little later feeling fair so I fixed Marsha a grilled cheese sandwich and some fries before she headed out for her new part time job. She treid to get me to sit down but I hate just sitting and laying around all the time. Still felt pretty good. My sister Janna came over to baby sit me and the girls, as I am not allowed to pick up anything bigger than ten pounds. I decided to fix more sandwiches and fries for Janna and the kids. Once again, she didn't want me to, but it was no big deal. Turns out I may have overdone it a bit. I've had kind of a rough time the last couple of hours. A lot of pains in my stomach and chest, very weak and short of breath. I took a short nap on the couch and when I woke up my heart was just pounding, plus some other weird stuff was going on with my arm, and ver nauseated. Went to bed, but not much better. I am actually feeling a little better right this moment. I got up and walked around the house a couple of minutes, and drank some ice water. I'd like the Lord to just go ahead and heal me of this, whatever it is. I don't know what is wrong with me yet, but He does. He'll take care of me, I'm sure.
I think I'll try and lay down again.
God bless you all...

Doesn't sound like any fun at all. I'll be sure to keep praying for you, and more fervently. And I'll pass the word along to some others to increase the prayer support. I believe with all my heart that it's God's desire to HEAL His people, and I think we're going to see more and more of that happening in the very near future. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

I believe this, as well, sister.I appreciate the prayer support. It means so much to have that from friends around the country.
I am scheduled to preach this Saturday in our convention, and hope I'm up to it by then. I expect I will be, with God's help.
GOD is SO able Coach, I know you know this as we all do. But sometimes it is nice just to hear it from someone else. Praying for you.
Praying for you!
I posted a really long comment yesterday ~grin~ only to have blogger go down before I was able to publish it. I won't take the time to redo it all but I want you to know that we are praying for you and keep us informed please.
We're expecting news of a miracle.
Thanks, everyone, for the prayers.
It means so much to know my friends are praying for me. I'm still not feeling well overall, but am confident that God will help me. I was told this morning that it is most likely a gall bladder problem. Help me pray for a miracle.
God bless you all...

I'm so sorry to hear (read) of your illness. We serve the Creator of all living. He knows what the problem is and He doesn't just "practice medicine," He's able to completely heal. I encourage you to bury yourself in His Word and get strength from there. May your faith be lifted up. "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." AMEN! --Praying for you.
Sister Smith,
Thanks for the encouragement. I have always told people in the congregations I've pastored that whatever the question, you can find the answer in the Word. I'm certain that the answer for my situation is there. Thanks for the prayers.
God bless...
Brother Donnie
