Sunday

So far today has been good. Ron's surgery went very well yesterday. The doctors and nursing staff did a excellent job at updating the family post Ron's surgery. He is actually sitting up-right in his bed, but is still in ICU. Hopefully, they will have him in his own room by the middle of the week. He is currently enjoying chocolate milkshakes and chocolate pudding! Things are looking brighter this Sunday, and with the continuance of answered prayers we all will make is through this.

  3. Ron, Tammy (Sally & Daisey), Dale, Rosemary, and Aunt Roselee,

    Patricia and I learned of Ron's accident yesterday while hiking high in the mountains. I never expected to have telephone service when the telephone rang and Loucinda told me what she had just read on facebook regarding Ron's accident. I had to pause as did Patricia when I told her. I am sorry that we took so long to respond. Please know that you are and remain in our thoughts and prayers. We are thrilled to learn that Ron's condition is improving. Regarding the painful and horrific moments you have experienced the last few days I am simply without words.

    Please tell Ron that I knew his grandaddy Mack, his grandmother Roselee and his mom and dad long before he came along. With two sets of grand parents like the Crofts and Powells and his mom and dad he has been blessed by God with two strong generations of role models. I remember him as a young boy mowing grass in the community, the handsome, clean-cut young man he was in school, and how he worked his way to the top of his profession. As parents who were once children long ago, Patricia and I know how very proud all of you are of Ron.

    Please also tell Ron that I said, "Son, get well soon because you have work to do!!!!!"

    With kindest regards:

    Lynn and Patricia

  4. Remember the ABC's of Faith...
    A-lthough things are not perfect
    B-ecause of trial or pain
    C-ontinue in thanksgiving
    D-o not begin to blame
    E-ven when the times are hard
    F-ierce winds are bound to blow
    G-od is forever able
    H-old on to what you know
    I-magine life without His love
    J-oy would cease to be
    K-eep thanking Him for all the things
    L-ove imparts to thee
    M-ove out of "camp complaining"
    N-o weapon that is known
    O-n earth can yield the power
    P-raise can do alone
    Q-uit looking at the future
    R-edeem the time at hand
    S-tart every day with worship
    T-o [thank] is a command
    U-ntil we see Him coming
    V-ictorious in the sky
    W-e'll run the race with gratitude
    X-alting God most high
    Y-es, there'll be good times, and yes some will be bad, but...
    Z-ion waits in glory...Where none are ever sad.

    ...The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor...

    Ron, as we continue to lift you up in prayer, God continues to work miracles in your life. May God continue to bless you and your wonderful family. The news gets better every day!

    With love and faith,

    Amber Rosencrantz.

  5. Ok, so Ron here are a few verses I saw today and thought you would like:

    "Everything is possible for him who believes (Mark 9:23)

    "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthews 21:22)

    "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24)


    Now, I found these verses at the end of a story I read about a little girl named Lizzie Gross. Google, "the healing testimony of Lizzie Gross." It is AWESOME!!!

    I will see you late this week. I love you!

  7. Driver critically injured in go-kart race



    A Thomasville man remains in serious condition following a go-kart racing accident over the holiday weekend.

    Dale “Ron” Powell Jr., 39, was transported to MCGHealth Medical Center last Friday night with critical injuries sustained at the Burke County Speedway on Story Mill Road. Powell’s kart hit a fence and flipped during a race, and he was struck by another kart as he began to walk away from the wreckage.

    According to information posted on the Internet, Powell suffered collapsed lungs, broken ribs, three fractured vertebrae in his neck and spinal cord injury.

    Powell, well-known on the go-kart racing circuit, had been expected to compete in the 2009 International Kart Federation 4-Cycle Speedway Grand Nationals in Texas this week. Internet forums have been filled with comments and encouragement from racing enthusiasts across the nation saddened by the news of his accident.

    (this is the article from the wyanesboro paper that the dr.'s and nurses found. i got the author to email me a copy!!)

    Love ya,
