Your Pastor's Health

This week I had an incident involving my heart. It included irregular heartbeat and a fast pulse rate. I was hospitalized in order to get this under control. I am most grateful to Dr. Dennis and Anna Scharfenberger who immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation, as well as the superb care given by St. Anthony's Hospital, both in the Emergency Room and the ICU unit. At the moment, I am under the care of Dr. Scharfenberger, I am on medication and will consult this week with my dad's cardiologist to determine a course of treatment. I have been ordered to slow down and do only what is essential. I know you will understand. Thanks for your prayers and support!
