THE 42nd GENERATION

GREAT news for my friend Betsy and her daughter Lissy who was discharged from the hospital last night. They will be coming home to PA Monday from Mayo Clinic.  Thanks for all of your prayers!!! Jen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom and Betsy Gill Date: Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:40 PM Subject: Lissy 4-27-12 Dear Family and Friends, We're ALL back at the rental house!   To our surprise and great delight, Lissy was discharged from the hospital this evening, and we enjoyed dinner together at the house.  Hallelujah!  Praise the Lord!  We can't even begin to express how happy and grateful we are that she's out of the hospital, doing well, and that all of you have been so supportive and been praying so diligently! The doctors have requested that we stay in town for a couple of days just to make sure nothing goes amiss, so we will fly back Monday and arrive home Monday night. T hank you for your prayers for little Sydney and her h...

Dear Friends and Family, Lissy was succesfully extubated around 11AM today and is breathing well on her own!  Hallelujah!  Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support!  She is now off of all of her narcotics as well.  Pr aise God for this progress ! Unfortunately, the poor little thing looks like she feels miserable.  She is very weak, shaky and is unable to hold her head up by herself.  Since she "woke up" from the sedatives, she has refused to sleep.  She took a couple of sips of water from a mouth swab (sponge) but refused all other food and drink.  She is not really talking either.  It's possible that she might have had a stroke during or after surgery, though the nurse thinks this is very unlikely as she shows no signs of facial drooping or one-sided weakness.  I think her throat is hurting her so much that she just doesn't want to swallow anything or talk.   Please pray that Lissy sleeps well to...

Here is the request from her Parents: Dear Family and Friends, In spite of everyone's best efforts, Lissy was unable to come off the respirator today. She was extubated (breathing tube removed) briefly, but she couldn't keep her oxygen saturations up, so she had to be reintubated and is now on the respirator again. The doctors think her vocal cords are swollen, thus allowing very little airflow to get into her lungs when she tries to breathe on her own. They have put her on steroids to decrease the swelling in her vocal cords and have said they will try to extubate her again tomorrow morning. Her sedation was increased again to keep her resting quietly until extubation, though she has woken several times today, including to play a bit with her stuffed animals on her bed. Please pray that she can be successfully extubated tomorrow. Since she is still sedated and has not had any nutrition since Wednesday, she was started on ...

We all go through situations that seem difficult or even impossible to overcome.  How we respond in those situations is important.  How we think, and maybe how we feel, are significant also. Take a look at how you feel as you face a current challenge.   Are you afraid?  Happy?  Concerned?  Worried?  Depressed?  Not worried?  What? I just learned to have a new outlook with changes I am facing.  Here's a short story. You know the Old Testament story where the Israelites left slavery in Egypt under the leadership of Moses.  It was not long before they reached the Red Sea, and it was not long till Pharoah and his army were pursuing the Israelites.  Where were the Israelites going to escape to?  There was the Red Sea on one side and Pharoah's army on the other.  No place to go.  Well, you know the story.  Charleton Heston raised his arms to God, the Red Sea parted, and they walked across on dry land. ...

It's election time again in the USA.  The atmospheres get very stirred up at this time because of all the political debate, people opposing one another, people attacking one another, people uncomfortable with one another, people expressing their beliefs.  There is constant focus by the media that keeps the stirring volatile. People become agitated with one another because of their political beliefs and debate. In elections over the recent decades, I've watched and heard politicians quoting from the Bible and applying biblical concepts in correct and incorrect ways, mostly incorrect ways.   I've heard them say things that indicate they might not really be students of biblical truth, seeking on a daily basis, as a lifestyle and a belief system.  It seems they are pulling on biblical concepts to try and please voters, to win them over to their ideas, to try and let voters know that they are Christians. If you are a "Berean type" Christian, you can immediately ...

Are Christians living in the promised land?  What does that mean? Here is a message that is the first of many to come.  It's time to start broadcasting the Message of "The 42nd Generation" in the marketplace. Living In The Promised Land I give credit to G42 founder Andrew Shearman and his staff for teaching the meaning of "The 42nd Generation" .

What was it like when Jesus walked in Israel? What was it like for Peter when he looked into Jesus' eyes for the first time, and Jesus looked at him? What was is like for the paralytic when Jesus healed him? What was it like for those who witnessed the healing of the paralytic? What was it like when thousands were fed with a little fish and some bread? What was it like for the little girl when Jesus raised her from the dead? What was is like for the little girl's parents to see their daughter alive again? What was Jesus like when He walked among people, and spoke with them, and taught them? What did people think when they saw Jesus and heard Jesus speak? What was it like............I can only imagine.......... Watch this 4 minute video and imagine what it was like........
