well, i'm here. my hunting trip didn't work out like expected. my good friend chris - dartonhunter on AT- well his son (less than a year old) is having focal brain seizures. they are taking him to a specialist today. i haven't gotten to my private messages yet, but i will. i'm trying to catch up on strings and working in the evenings at the place we're moving to. the workshop needs a new roof, which i'll hopefully install this weekend - and some hippies were there before and all the grass had to be bush-hogged (1.5 yrs growth) and i'm having to weedeat with a blade what couldn't be gotten to. i'll be here until around 3pm each day - 828 627 2594, and at the new place working in the evenings and this weekend at least. please call me if i messed something up and haven't gotten to your email or pm yet. i've decided to work thru my 'vacation'.
also, please say a prayer for chris's son if you have time. his name is hunter powers. i would sure appreciate it and i know chris's family will as well. chris is also suffering from brain issues, and this was possibly his only hunt of the year, and perhaps, who knows, his last year of hunting. he's losing his eyesight (as well as other things) because of pressure in his head they've been unable to fix that is damaging his brain.
please do not begrudge me for not getting to my pm's yet. there was obviously a lot riding on this hunt, and now even more on the power's family and their friends. its a heckuva week and lots of prayers are needed.

WOW John. So sorry to hear about all that. I will be saying prayers for both Chris and his son Hunter. Keep us updated and good luck with the new place.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers will be said...

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris's son and his family. We can relate all too well as our son was diagnosed with a seizure disorder when he was only 6 months old.

Those critical challenges in life--NEVER give up bud. Where there's life there's HOPE!!!
I pray the tide turns soon.

Prayers to your friend and his son and family, I know first hand what its like having a child in a bad way, I lost a daughter last April 2005. Tell him to not stop looking up, nothing is too big for God almighty.
