From the Lighthouse Keeper 6.10 *Edie update*
Greetings, saints and lighthouse keepers
Most of you heard from me yesterday regarding our friend and sister Edie (a long but short member of the congregation), who was found unconscious in her home on Monday morning, apparently the victim of some kind of assault.
The police, having gathered additional information since I last wrote, no longer believe it was an assault of any kind, but rather a terrible fall down concrete steps. The theory now is that Edie fell down her basement steps, possibly as early as Friday night. The injuries she has are apparently consistent with this. It seems that she was able to crawl back upstairs, but was apparently not in the state of mind to telephone anybody.
Her daughter found her on Monday morning. What happened before that is currently conjecture.
Edie was taken to Temple Hopsital from Phoenixville late Monday morning. She has had a number of tests and is in ICU, but I simply do not know her medical status, though I was with her twice Monday, including around 11pm. My understanding is that they are still waiting for her to wake up.
Friends, Edie is in God's hands. God knows what's going on, and knows what's best for Edie. Continue to pray for her and for her family -- her daughter Stacy and her son Mark, and their spouses and children.
Bless you, and thank you. Give me a call or stop by the church if you wish to pray there.
Pastor Kerry
Some verses from a song by Charles A. Tindley:
When the storm of life is raging, Stand by me When the storm of life is raging, Stand by me When the world is tossing me Like a ship upon the sea Thou who rulest wind and water, Stand by me
In the midst of tribulation, Stand by me In the midst of tribulation, Stand by me When the hosts of hell assail And my strength begins to fail Thou who never lost a battle, Stand by me
