Pass the "w"ord ... Spread the "W"ord

Who knew that the details of Dad's accident would reach Jerusalem, Canada, South America, or Nigeria? News of the ViolentSilence has reached all parts of Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Minne-sowta, Florida, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wisconsin, California, etc. Thanks to all of our friends and family in the World for passing on this information to the World. Special thanks to PrayerWarrior1 and PrayerWarriorToo for helping to make this journey global.

But our job is not yet finished. While Dad would certainly like you to hear "w"ord of his condition, ["slow is good ... slow is good ... fast doesn't last ... fast doesn't last"], he would be happier to know that the true "W"ord was being spread as a result of this incident. Some of you feel comfortable doing that, while others are still a little shy. But God can work through you to reach others in need ... GodThruMan ... Here's an example:

As I was recording this post [that's right, I've gone digital], Mom ran to me with a special prayer request. A family had just been brought to the TraumaCondo ... a mom and her four small children had just experienced their own ViolentSilence. Mom grabbed my hand and asked me to come pray with the LeftOvers (the family left behind to hurt and wonder).

Last week, that would have been awkard. Last week, there would have been doubt. Last week, I may have done it, but with hesitation.

Today, I stopped. Today, I dropped all my things. Today, I went to pray with those LeftOvers who did not have the strength to pray for their "mom and her four small children." Another instance of GodThruMan...

So here is Dad's desire, Mom's desire, and my desire for you: That you would spread the "W"ord by passing the "w"ord.

If you know which words to use, then make sure you pray for GodThruMan-strength before you press the SEND button. God will reach the right person through your email. If you don't know which words to use, try one of these below, cut/paste, fill out blanks, and press the SEND button.

"Dear _____________,

It's been awhile since we last spoke, but you have been on my heart and mind over the past few days. There's been some amazing things going on in Nashville, and I wanted to make sure you heard about this triumphant story of love. It's about a local pastor (nicknamed "Pappy Razor" / "SheepDog" . . . isn't that soooooo cute?) and his continuing journey from hurt to health. He remains in critical condition, but the miracles that have rained down on this family so far are truly amazing. Please do not turn off your computer today without checking http://www.growingandgrowing.com/.

By the way, I saw the movie Beaches again for the 20th time this weekend, and I cried through 3 tissue boxes, and then ate a pint of Ben&Jerry's. I miss you and I love you [ mom / sister / BFF ]. Please call soon. Gotta run to catch the rest of Oprah.

Love always, ____________"
