It’s been a couple of weeks since my last update on my back procedure.  On June 18th I had a discectomy, a surgical procedure in which the central portion of the intervertebral disc is removed.  Today, most of the pain has dissipated and I am able to be up and moving around.  There are still a few restrictions that I must endure; such as, limiting the amount of weight I am to lift and the amount of time I am able to remain seated.  Overall, the recovery process is moving along and I plan to be back in the pulpit continuing the 1 Corinthians series July 10/11 weekend.

I can’t thank you enough for your cards, emails, and prayers.  It is a great encouragement to hear from so many and to know that you are praying for my speedy recovery.
