Bear Claw pendant - gift from my Blood-Brother Manuel (Chiricahua-Apache)

Sunday morning at our church, Pastor Cantu allowed him to perform an Indian ceremonial prayer (complete with burning sage & a revered Red-Tail Hawk Feather fan. It was a very moving ceremony and he called me up after the prayer and presented me with this pendant as appreciation of continued prayer for him and his family, in the midst of trying times in his life. His prayer was for God to give me Wisdom & Long Life to be able to help many people.

Thursday evening @ 7pm I was on my way to meet my wife for dinner, and well, let me say that we didnt eat until about 3:30am after leaving the emergency room. The other party involved is also a rider for many years & he felt real bad about it, but I know that God is working in all things.



I will ask you to help me pray for a new method of transportation. The bike was on loan from a co-worker and the insurance will pay it off, but I feel bad that the bike (2004 Volusia) is lost. It was a very nice little cruiser, and good on gas.



God is good, and I'm gonna be fine [excluding maybe a few brain cells that may have dislodged and fallen onto the pavement after I did my flying flip over the other vehicle] considering all things.
