Please Pray

As I write this message today by heart is choking me in my throat.
I feel like someone has punched me so hard that it has taken my breath away.
My son's dearest lifelong friend is still in the hospital.
They were jumped by several other guys at a party this weekend,
and Lance was hit so hard in the head that he was knocked unconscious.
He later had 2 seizures and they had to call 911.
After several days in ICU he was moved to a room.
He continues to not really open his eyes much,
and has incredibly painful headaches.
The trauma to his brain was a severe blow.
These boys have been best friends for as long as I can remember.
Since becoming blood brothers in the second grade
they have remained through the years as close as any true brothers can be.
They got the same scholarship to play college baseball
and again got to be together.
They are roommates at Midland and continue to spend everyday together.
I have often wondered how they will ever make it when life takes
them in different directions.
But I never dreamed it would be now.
To everyone who reads this BLOG
I am asking for your prayers for Lance.
I know head injuries can change from day to day,
and God can do what no doctor can.
"What is impossible with man is possible with God."
May we all have a buddy that grows up to be our "brother."
