( From my Facebook page to praying people who are here .. )In the spring of 1990, at one of the lowest points of my life, I became severely ill with the flu and for about almost a week, I was flat on my back in my dorm room at Lee College in Cleveland, Tennessee. As if that wasn't enough. I didn't eat for four days and with the fever I had I was delirious. I was in really bad shape, no insurance and I had no family or girlfriend to call on as I lay burning and aching, sweating and seriously needing help.It was then I found out to what depth the friendship I had with my brother Timothy Scott White was to go. We'd been friends around the campus, in ministry, on our outreaches and a summer mission trip to Providence, and we were pretty close. But Tim's brotherhood reached new depths. He brought food to my room. He got me to the nurse and he didn't repeat what I was raving about in my feverish delirium. He prayed for me. He took care of me and made sure I pulled through.Tim again proved what the word brother really means. I have never forgotten that. Quite frankly, I've known few who have sought to live and show Christ in them than my friend Tim. I'm thankful for his example.And now it tears me up that he is now fighting for his life in a Minnesota hospital on a respirator, filled with COVID-19 viral molecules seeking to smother his lifebreath as it is in so many others across our nation. I was shocked to hear today of his plight. I knew he'd been exposed and had been quarantined for the virus, but after speaking with him 3 weeks ago, didn't believe it would stalk him but it has.I cannot be there and they wouldn't let me in there if I could .. but I know a God that can heal who is holding his life in His hands, and I'm grateful for his family and his work friends who are rallying to care for him. I am praying and trusting that our Lord will get him through this. I am praying that his daughters will finally realize what an awesome man and father he has always been to them no matter what they've been told about him. And I'm so thankful for his workplace friends that are standing with him to get his home fixed up, his kittens fed and his life carefully monitored. I am believing God for His healing. I hope you'll join me, those who know him and those who don't.To my Crossroads family who took the prayer request by phone tonight, THANK YOU www.spiritwatch.orgAm I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16

He has now on dialysis. All that can be done is being done per his family. Thank you for praying for Tim. He's a humble Georgia boy who God is using in a correctional facility in Minnesota. I am trusting God still has much for him to do here .. and his girls need a daddy www.spiritwatch.orgAm I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16

That is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes they will do dialysis as a temporary measure to relieve the stress his kidneys are under. This will keep his kidneys from failing and free his body of the toxins. It does not necessarily mean he will have to continue dialysis once he improves More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name

This will keep his kidneys from failing and free his body of the toxins. It does not necessarily mean he will have to continue dialysis once he improves. That's true. Still, dialysis is a serious development. It's not a death sentence, we agree, but its known that going on dialysis for many COVID patients can be prelude to ongoing besetting renal issues. It is necessary, we know, in many instances to save lives. Trust me, I'm glad they've been on it. We just got an update now
