Our congregation is stirred over one of ours who has been hurt in Pakistan. LeGrand Stickland's outfit was hit with a bomb. All in the company were killed except him. He is unconscious. When he awakens he will discover both legs are amputated. Too, he has suffered extensive head trauma.
Reports say they are working on his stabilization for transport to an army hospital in Germany.
Do any of you recall the young woman in nursing school in Lubbock a couple of decades back? She had gone to the Public Library on school assignment and accidentally came across one of my books. After completing finals she returned for my book, read it, and was baptized in Lubbock.
I just received an email from that nurse. She is serving our country as a nurse at the military hospital.....in Germany. She sent me a note stating LeGrand has yet to arrive. Linda and her husband will give Carrie a place to stay and a car once she arrives to be with her husband.
God.....He just keeps connecting the dots.

WOW!!! That is so cool!!! Love you today!!!
Terry,
I received a similar email...a friend of mine got word about Legrand through my emails asking everyone I know to pray for him. My friend's husband was in med school when I was friends with them in MD. It turns out he is currently a military doctor stationed at the hospital where Legrand is. He wrote to me to let me know that he went to his bedside and prayed over him. He couldn't give me much detail, but let me know that he is stable. This is nothing less than GOD at work!! Love you, Terry!

Amazing how God works! And, btw, I hear it's Pastor Appreciation Day. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you do for us at Memorial. Thanks for putting up with us and teaching us to notice the wonder of God all around us! Love you~
Generosity in the mist of tragedy. Only God can organize such a happening. Now we will pray that LeGrand will know that God has played a vital part and is aware of him. No matter what happens, we say thank you, God for the life He has given LeGrand. I do not know him personally, but I am grateful for the service to our nation. For God and Country!!!
In awe of our Amazing God!
Terry - reading your blog gave me chills. Our God is so awesome! West Houston Church of Christ is praying for LeGrand.

I would like to say thank you for the Morning Rush who have provided us with updated news regarding my
1st cousin Specialist LeGrand Strickland. Yes our family was devastated with the news that we learned on LeGrand late tuesday night. I would like to say thank you for all your countless number of prayers for my cousin during a time like this. We are very hopeful through prayer, God will see LeGrand through this. LeGrand's spiritual beliefs still have him alive and breathing which is most important to us. Yes, he his still unconscious at this time and his wife Carrie will soon join him. Again, we would like to say thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. Petra J
God has all the details worked out doesn't He. May His power be seen in increadible ways through Legrand.
