PLEASE PRAY...

Dear family, please keep our cousin, Rev. Verlin Self and his wife and children in your prayers. Verlin is very ill at U.T. Hospital in Knoxville, TN. He is in serious condition from what I can find out. I do not know many of the details, but he became ill one day this week and was taken to Sweetwater Hospital and was then air lifted to U.T. From what information I have heard, he is very seriously ill. Please pray for him and Donna and ask everyone you know to remember them. Verlin is the pastor of Community Baptist Church in Madisonville, Tn where he lives. Thanks!
