Re: Lift Me up .... JJ!

Hey I found this thread and I STILL NEED ALL the PRAYERs . This Time I will be going to the VA tomorrow for the C/P Doctor on my Heart. This will decide if I get Service Conection ? So pray that I have the right things they will need or hear for it to be Positive. I just have a lot of Fears and Non Trust of this System. J:(

You'll get it JJ, I did but don't expect for it to happen overnight. Mine took quite a while but it was worth the wait in back-pay (over 7G) and a $320.00 increase in monthly payments.

Dear Family of Marines!
I found out this morning (11 am) that one of My last Uncles past away here in the Hospital . Just ask your prayer for John as he returns to his Heavenly Father, Then Aunt Marlyn as She had taken care of Me when She was 16, because My Mother Had my Brother 10 month later. We never Expect it But we all know that it will happen . Some day and No One Knows the Time or Hour. For the Franzel Family in Saginaw Mich.
God Be with You ALL
