Jeff

This might prove to be too much multi-tasking for me. I'm blogging, baking chocolate chip cookies, and watching Beth Moore all at the same time. So hopefully all this will make sense and I won't start typing ingredients or portions of 2 Chronicles in my post.

I wanted to pass along this link for you to read and pray if you feel led to do so. The blog is about Jeff, who is a friend of mine through work. He was one of my students while he was in college. (He just graduated very recently.) The whole story of what happened to him is told in the first post in more detail than I will explain it here, but here's a basic idea. His home was robbed during the night this past weekend, and while he tried to protect his home and son, the intruders attacked him and he sustained a concussion. A few hours later, Jeff lost the last five years of his memory, and a few hours after that, lost pretty much all his memory.

This afternoon I talked to his sister-in-law (who works with me) and she said the doctors are hopeful that his memory will return, but they don't know when. And there is still the possibility that it won't return and he'll have to relearn everything as he is already in the process of doing.

On her most recent blog post, Angi (the sister-in-law) said it was okay to pass the link on to anyone who wanted to help join in prayer for him and his family, so I'm posting the link here and on the side. Jeff is a great guy and I know God is going to do something amazing through this situation. I don't know what it is, but I believe He's going to do it.
