SSgt Jim Nelson in hospital

[yellowwing]

Evidently Jim toughed out three days of hernia and bowel infection. He's in surgery now and the Docs are removing a bit of intestine. Dale will keep us informed as to his condition.

Let's get some of that Leatherneck prayer mojo happening!

Lord, watch over our Brother Jim at this hour and in the days to come. Steady the hand of the healer and bless him with skill. Smile on him as he sleeps and recovers. Amen.

Stay strong hard-charger. We're praying for you.

[Rains]

PRAYERS ARE OUTBOUND.

[Jfriesner]

Lord I just lift Jim up to you right now and ask that you give him and his family strength through this time. You are the great physician and as your word says, by your stripes we are healed. Father I claim healing and victory in Jim's life as he goes into surgery and throughout his recovery. Give his friends and family a peace that transcends all understanding. Above all Lord may your will be done in Jim's life and not ours. As your word says in Psalms, you order your angels around us that we may not even strike our foot upon a stone. Lift Jim up and protect him, send your angels to guide and keep him. I pray this not in my name or power but in the name of Jesus, amen.

God may you put your hands on this Great Marine(man,father). He has served you since he was young. He has helped many poolee's to straighten up and earn the title. SSG Jim Nelson(your family to) you will be in my prayers.

SSGT Jim Nelson,

You have guided my journey from the beginning and I am still walking toward that long road leading to the famous "yellow footprints." You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lord, may you hold SSGT Nelson in your care and love right now as he goes into surgery and the recovery thereafter. In your name, Amen.

Stay strong, SSGT! You are an amazing Marine.
