Praying for Dad and praising God for him!

Just wanted to let you all know to keep Dad in your prayers, he is in the hospital because of a possible TIA, yesterday evening.
They can't test for it since a TIA by definition is a stroke that resolved it self shortly after accruing, leaving no traceable evidence of damage.
They are keeping him for observation and testing since the risk of another TIA or stroke is 50% more likely in the next 24 hrs following the TIA.
Our prayer is that is wasn't even a TIA and that he'll be released soon with a clean bill of health and this is all just for precaution sake!

HGMM Prayer & Leadership/Discipleship Accountability Group

Do you have a desire to grow in your personal walk with the Lord? Do you feel like you're the only one making the hard choices and committing to follow God, even if it means you'll be different? Do you have a desire to be used by God and serve Him daily?

It is helpful as Christians to gather together and pray for one another, encourage, listen and share what is going on in the lives of fellow Christians! Some of us find ourselves standing alone with friendships or accountability in our Christian life. Our schedules are busy and finding time to make it to a fellowship, bible study or church service, if available, is rarely possible as well as sometimes intimidating!
Because of all of these reasons and the broad reach of people that HGMM(Higher Ground Ministry Mission) touches we believe we are being led to start a prayer and accountability group via conference calls twice a month! The calls will be on the 1st and 3rd Friday evenings of every month, from 7:30 to 8:30 PM CST.
The first 30 minutes will be a time of prayer and sharing with one another and during the second 30 minutes we will go through different Discipleship/Leadership books! You will not need to own the book in order to join in on the discussions as they will be held in a way that all attending will be able to easily join in the discussion. Outlines on the chapter for each week will be available though a link to an (online or outline) folder, for anyone to download that is involved in the calls. Recordings will be available of the discussions online for those that are unable to makes that week!

Our first call this Fall will be this Friday, Nov 18th at 7:30-8:30 PM CST and we will be working through the book "Good to Great in God's Eyes" by Chip Ingram. To join us just call our conference dial-in number: (712) 432-0900 code: 434913.

I am looking forward to sharing this time with each of you that can make it!
