From a Front Door Worship host… Oh, my gosh! XXXX is amazing. She is an ordained pastor and an RN. She does foster/adoption of extremely medically fragile children. XXXX, her son, was having a rough week with brain stem seizures. She was so grateful to attend that Easter service online! At the end of the service, she told me XXXX’s seizures had stopped and he had fallen peacefully asleep. Glory to God! FYI… XXXX is part of that FB group. Ironic how I didn’t want to host a 10 PM service. But I figured, if she could be suffering through XXXXXX’s seizures with him, I could suffer through another hour by attending church with her.
