The Ratliff Family Connection Pray List
We have family members and friends that are in need of our prayers. As we go thru our days, attending to our problems please take a minute everyday to say a prayer for our family members that are in need of strength and comfort as they face their fears. All things are possible thru prayer.
Uncle Joe Ratliff and his wife Joan; Joe is facing cancer and his present oncologist says the lab reports show the present chemo treatments have stopped working. Joe has an appointment with a Dr. Richard Goldberg at Chapel Hill Hospital. He's outstanding in the field of Cancer that Joe is facing. Please remember Joe in your prayers and ask the Lord to be with he and Joan as they continue the fight against Joe's cancer.
Ray La Shum, father of Vince La Shum, my son in law and Jennifer’s husband. Ray is suffering from diabetes, to name just one ailment and may have to have part of his foot removed. The surgery was scheduled for yesterday but due to Ray receiving breakfast that morning the surgery has been canceled and needs to be rescheduled. The good news is that Ray is seeking a second opinion. Remember Ray in you prayers.
Julie Howell, my sister, wife to Rocky Howell of Selma Alabama. Julie has severe back problems and faces having 4 vertebrae fused. This will involve her being out for a year while she mends. She and Rocky are facing medical and financial problems so remember them in your prayers and ask the Lord to give them strength and comfort in facing their crises.
Ms. Howell, Rocky’s mother is also in a bad way. Her condition was so unstable that at one time the doctors did not expect her to make it thru the night but she did, and started improving. I have no doubt the prayers requested on her behalf helped. Pray for her recovery.
Scott Griffin and his wife Traci. Scott is one of my co-workers from AT&T has a son (one of 4 children and one of a set of fraternal twins, approx 2 years old) who suffers Duchene's MD. There is a new procedure Scott has researched and forwarded to his doctor in hopes it will help Gabe, his son. Please remember Gabe, Scott and Traci in your prayers as well as their other three children; Turner, Cooper and Addie (Gabe’s twin).
Hazel, my mother in law and Diane’s mother has Alzheimer’s and it is steadily getting worse. Diane and I have watched this disease take its toll almost on a daily basis. Hazel lives with us and we try to take care of her the best we can, but I see the toll it is taking on Diane as well. Please remember Hazel, Diane and myself in your prayers. Ask the Lord to give us strength and understanding as Hazel fights her challenges each day.
I know we all have problems, fears and concerns. Remember to ask the Lord to give us all strength, courage and faith as we face each day and let us all remember the blessing we have and not just the problems. If you know someone in need of prayer please let us all know. The Lord hears all prayers.
A New Year to see God at work!

I am praying for all these. Are you going to post the update? :) Love you.
An update on Julie Howell after surgery. I spoke with Julie this morning (8/13) and they have changed her pain medication which gave her some relief last night but still in pain just not as bad. They will start physical rehab today, which she isn't looking forward to but knows it is best. She can now move her arms without a lot of pain and the doctor says she MAY be able to go home Friday. She says thank you all for the prayer and thoughts. When she is healed up and not in pain she plans on attending the next Family Reunion (July 11th, 2009. Blessings to all (Uncle Lee, you haven't Trade Marked that have you?)Wayne and Diane
