Marko was in crisis again this morning, looking for a ride to the hospital.  We know Judy is just too sick herself to deal with it all.  Please pray for Marko.  He needs to understand he will never get well until he truly recognizes his need for true help & his heart needs to understand how much God loves him  & how much he needs to fully trust in Him & give Jesus his heart.  I know this is long but I think necessary.  Please put Marko on your daily prayer list.   He is one of God's broken kids who needs to know God is a good good Father, something he has never experienced.  Thank you
