Out of the Hospital

Hello everyone, just got out of the hospital today and am so glad to be home. The last 10 days have been crazy from going to Houston then being home for less than a day and being put into the hospital. I am doing better, when they took my blood early this morning my counts had come up enough for me to come home. I just have to stay home this week and build up my system. So this will give me the opportunity to work from the house. Again I can not express my appreciation enough for all your prayers. Last week (Palm Sunday) I was so anxious not being able to be in church, but when I began to hear of the tremendous service and how great the "Living Lord's Supper" went I was so blessed. While in the hospital I was able to meet with an Orthopedic Surgeon who told me that he did not believe I needed any surgery at this time. That was a great report! The miracle is coming - I am just so excited to know of so many people who are standing with me for it. Thanks again!!! Pastor Olsen

Hey my favorite Pastor, Glad to hear you have one more victory under your belt. Sometimes in battle there can be set backs but with Jesus victory will alway prevail. I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL STAND BEFORE GODS PEOPLE WITH A MIGHT TESTAMONY. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE LEGANCY THAT YOU WILL BEABLE TO LEAVE FOR YOUR GREAT GRAND CHILDREN. I will never forget how you were there for me.

LOVE YOU GUYS

Pastor it is so good to see in writing that you have the best expectations for this. We are all with you - THE MIRACLE IS COMING! Sunday was beautiful but I believe everyone felt that there was an empty space there and you were very much missed, especially knowing how important this was for you and how much you wanted to be there. We love you Pastor and Sherry and we are praying and praying for you. See you Sunday - can't wait to hear your message.

Pastor, our family is thrilled you are back home. I know that is a great feeling. Pastor, I just wanted to add my two cents about the Palm Sunday service. It was the most amazing, extremely moving reenactment of the Last Supper. I left service with a much deeper understanding and a greater appreciation of the Last Supper and the disciples, feeling so blessed. You'd be even prouder than you are already of the men at Sunset Chapel. They did an incredible job. They took their roles seriously and it touched our church greatly to witness the Last Supper with such realness. I'll never think of the Last Supper as just a "picture" anymore. I will forever remember the powerfulness of Sunday's service. Get some rest and feel better. Looking forward to the Easter message.

We love you,
The Rowseys

WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I knew It! God IS WORKING ON HEALING YOUR BODY AND WORKING IN YOU!!!! Never ever give up hope, your needs will be met and God will see you through. You don't need surgery now and you won't need it later, God is going to pull you through. I am standing firm in believing that GOD is still the healer today that he was thousands of years ago. Like I said before GOD is still GOD, He is the Great Physician and he can and will heal you.
I love you guys soooooooooo much and can't wait to see you. You, Sherry, and the children are in my prayers daily. Sunday night our church and pastor prayed like no body's business over this prayer cloth, I am sending it to you and I want you to carry it close to your heart, LOL or at least in your pocket. I love you, thanks for the updates and keep them coming.
Love always,
Terry
P.S. Joyce will be calling soon, she and Jim having been praying and asking about you on a regular basis.

Love ya!

Eric,
I was out of town and didn't know all that was happening till I got back on Monday. So glad to see that you are better and home from the hospital. Be sure they post your Easter message on the website (in it's entirety this time!) so we can listen to it. I would love to be there and hear you. I'm praying for you and Sherry lots and believing God for a miracle. We love you.

Hey Pastor, just checking in to let you know my mission was completed! I successfully donated blood, well i don't know how successful I really was as I am sure Ms. Olsen will share with you, I needed some support. I was a big baby, kind of embarrassing, but everyone had a good laugh.Nelsy even video taped me, so that she could take it to school tomorrow and make fun of me. Ms. Olsen held my hand the whole way through. Too funny huh? I have always been a coward with needles, but I faced my fear and would do it again, to help you :) I hope you are doing well and looking forward to your cruise. There was a great turn out today at the blood drive, as it is very obvious you are loved by so many.Please know, if there is anything I can do as I am a phone call away. I am praying for you always.Take Care!
