[GTX JOHN]

I am so very grateful and yet at the same time humbled by the prayers of all my New and Old Friends.........I believe it is only because of everyone's prayerful intercessions that I am ALIVE!

I tossed out the pain meds and require neither a walker or wheelchair any longer. My doctors are amazed by the incredibly fast recovery from major surgery and also that my heart's performance is back to better
than normal for a man my age. Prior to my surgery........I was not expected to be
a good risk for surgery. Now the latest Cardioologist tell me my heart performs as well as most guys in their 30's!

I believe God has given me an opportunity for renewal and fresh commitment to my faith....as well
as an opportunity for fresh perspective and walk with HIM.

THANKS AGAIN,

John Irving
