Some of you may be wondering how my “interrupted” COVID-invaded week went. The short answer is that by Wednesday I was symptom-free, and I did make my lunch appointment Friday! Praise the Lord.

The longer answer, a nice segue from our two blogs on prayer, is that we were called out of the blue on Tuesday by our friend Wale from Nigeria. (Wale is pronounced like the movie cartoon character Wall-EE.) Wale and June connected at a women’s retreat at Glen Eyrie a few years ago, and June led her through the 2:7 series by phone. Wale is a woman of great faith and prayer, and when she heard that I had COVID she insisted on praying for me. June put her on speaker, and Wale asked us to agree together that I should be healed. She claimed:

Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. (Matthew 18.19, ESV)

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up... (James 5.14, 15, ESV)

Look at the June 13 blog comments: others of you prayed as well, including some I heard from directly who didn’t leave a blog comment. Thank you all, and thank you, Jesus.
