The final report on the biopsies came in last night, no cancer.
The rest of my tests for the Lung collapse and diaphragm issue are scheduled for the 16th of Oct. the results will be that day so no waiting.
Good news is I am still preaching every Sunday and praising the Lord for his mercy.

Today is the day I find out if anything can be done with the collapsed lung. Had 30 day wait between tests. Doctor will see me after the tests completed
Thank you all who have prayed as the Lord has answered and I was able to spend time every day at ministry and preach every Sunday.
God is so good and he does answer your prayers

Father God. Continue to be with Jim and watch over him. Give the doctors wisdom while dealing with the collapsed lung. We ask for healing in this. We praise you for the strength he has so that he can continue with the ministry that you have called him to. May he be a beacon to all as they see him doing your work. If any see him that do not know you as their God or accepted your Son and their savior may they see the work that you are doing through him and come to you. Bless him and keep him safe. In the name of your Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ , I pray .Amen.

Preacher Jim,
I've been following this thread since a while back and have been saying a prayer each time Boaz has updated us. It's been a while since we've had any dealing but I recall that you treated my very fair a few years ago on a deal we struck up. I'm so very happy to have the update and glad that things are looking on the plus side for a change.

[Blackwater]

Gee whiz, Jim! Thank you for that great report! Maybe this was just a lesson God sent to you that you simply CAN not do what you've been used to doing for so long now? Billy Graham has had to slow down. He accepted his limitations gracefully. You'll never, as Boaz said, "leave the field," but maybe it's time to cut back SOME of your activities, and become more selective about what you take on and what you let slide. When you get to Heaven, you'll owe NOBODY an apology for what you've done here! You've won my respect and admiration for your passion and fearless and unrelenting efforts on our Lord's behalf. But this isn't a one-man show! ALL of us, including your congregation, must at some point begin to do our OWN work, and help those who've tended us so faithfully for so long by doing more and taking up some slack. You're a leader in addition to a shepherd, so see if a little delegating won't make things better for ALL of you concerned. God be with both of you.

[daloper]

Father God. Thank you for the good report from Jim. Continue to be with him and keep him well for the work you will have him do. Continue to lay your hands on him and heal him of this problem with the bad lung. Keep him strong so that he can continue with his work. He does this all for you and your glory. In the name of your Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray. Amen.

[Pine Baron]

Great prayer daloper, thank you and AMEN.
