Today has not been a good day for Doug. Doug has had some severe set backs in efforts to recover from the latest ailments. Over the last few days, Doug has suffered a series of small strokes. At this time, Doug's recovery is in the hands of the Lord. We ask for your prayers. Doug is in need of lots of rest. We respectfully request no visitors at this time so he can get as much rest as possible.

Love,

Kelly

  1. I just finshed praying for Doug, that the Lord would heal him of all these setbacks he has been having over the past several months, that the Lord's timing be done, and for strength for the rest of the family to be able to deal with what is happening, since I can only imagine it is really difficult to deal with what Doug is going through, and will continue to pray for the Taylor family.

  2. "Great is the Lord, He is holy and just. By His power we trust in His love. Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true. By His mercy He proves, He is love ..."
    "I am with you alway."
    Matthew 28:20
    It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us. It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of life. O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides forever faithful to thee. Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of a deceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amid descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure. My soul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet; store thy jewels where thou canst never lose them. Put thine all in Christ; set all thine affections on his person, all thy hope in his merit, all thy trust in his efficacious blood, all thy joy in his presence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction. Remember that all the flowers in the world's garden fade by turns, and the day cometh when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth. Death's black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle. Oh! how sweet to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon roll between thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to him who will never leave thee; trust thyself with him who will go with thee through the black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land thee safely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with him in heavenly places forever. Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets to the Friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Trust all thy concerns with him who never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee, and who will never let thee leave him, even "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever." "Lo, I am with you alway," is enough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me. ----Charles H. Spurgeon

    We continue to pray and hold you up before the Lord. Sending love and *HUGS*,

  6. We love you all and are praying, praying, praying! Little Man prayed over our lunch today, and of course, prayed for "Pastor Taylor to get heal quickly." After he finished, he said, "Mom, I know he's going to be healed up quick." That child-like faith convicts me often...

    After a minute, he said, "Mommy, we should pray for Mrs. Taylor, too, to get better." I never prompted him to pray for you, though I know you must be having a rough time with this roller-coaster of emotions and setbacks, but I thought you would like to know that your little man loves and prays for you, as well!

    *hugs* and love to all of you!

As my youth pastor and as my friend he has had such and impact on my life, and also hes been a HUGE blessing in my life! he AND his family. Mrs. Taylor, you are my role model. I hope when I'm older I'll be as strong and godly as you are. Sending All my Love and prayers! Ellen.
