  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I ask all here to join in prayer for my girlfriend's upcoming open heart surgery on Monday. We've been waiting over 5 years for this lifelong overdue repair of her atrium septal defect, and apparently there's now a heart valve replacement also needed. Her case is unusually complicated and serious, warranting the Lord's divine intervention for a successful operation, miraculous healing, and renewed outlook on life.

Thank you all for your prayer support. We'll take all we can get and appreciate your care. The priority concern now beyond fixing the hole in her heart, is for the surgeans to be able to repair the valve rather than replace it. That'll negate the need for devastating blood thinners and truly improve her quality of life. All's set for 3 pm Monday Philippines time.

Loving God, have mercy on your daughter. Restore her to full health and strength and give her doctors and nurses guidance and wisdom. Your will be done, O Lord, your will be done! Amen!

Thank you all.

As of Sunday, Mechell remains in the ICR for a 6th day, with several more expected. Her pulmonary hypertension (PAH) remains dangerously high, and I don't know if it's a temporary swelling problem from the tramatic (3 procedural) surgery or a permanent response to the ASD shunt closure. I hope and pray that it's the former, which should improve with healing time, and not the latter, which entails lifelong serious complications.

She's sitting upright and coherant now in bed, able to wave and see her sisters from the doorway and hear my voice from their cell phone, but only for a moment each day. Otherwise, she's isolated with no phone, TV, or anything at all to do - a terribly boring, bed trapped situation to be in. Not even a window to look out. I could't bear it myself but she has little choice now.

Ongoing prayer is needed and appreciated.
