We need to keep Worshipful Brother Charles Folds on the prayer list.  He had a staph infection, and they did surgery on him.  Also, Worshipful Brother James Cantrell is doing a lot better, and he was at Lodge last time, always good to see him.

Worshipful Brother Lynn Williams called me today and reported that Worshipful Brother Charles Folds was taken to the emergency room, and he did not know what the condition was, and wanted me to put him on the prayer list, and as soon as he heard anything,  he would let us know.

I went to see Brother Maynard Emery today at Franciscan Woods, 2425 Williams Road in Columbus.
Vista Care, 2nd Floor, Room 201.  Brother Emery was resting (sleep), so I didn't bother him.  I left a note so the family would know I came by.  I was told he had a stroke, and might not know anyone.  Lets keep him and the family in our prayers.

Good to hear that Worshipful Brother James N. Cantrell, 33rd Degree, is doing better than in the past couple of weeks.  I'm sure that your prayers for him had something to do with it.  Please continue to pray for him.
