Update on Jim

Dear Friends,

Many of you heard that I was in the hospital in Fredericksburg yesterday afternoon and evening. I went to the Dr. because my chest was still hurting. The good news is that my heart and lungs are clear. The Dr. said I have something going on with the chest wall itself. The diagnosis is noncardiac chest pain. His treatment is pain relievers and rest. Thank you for your prayers and concern.

There will not be a meeting of the Hill Country Region tomorrow at our church and there will not be a worship service tomorrow morning. The youth will be meeting tonight at the regular time.

Yours in Christ,
Jim
