Damaris and I were at Word of Life on Fri, 7/30/10.  The staff do a weekly Christian rodeo for the community.  That night, a terrible accident occurred where a horse lost its footing and fell on its rider, Graham Stump, while roping a calf.  The horse and rider were both on the ground for what seemed like a long time.  The horse got up, the rider did not.  He received a severe concussion, but no broken bones, miraculously.

Now, 11 days later, the doctors are saying that his brain injury is “very bad,” although he squeezed the therapist’s hand on command today.  The doctors have braced his wife, Randi, for the worst:  he may never “wake up.”  She is asking everyone to pray and believe God for a full recovery, and thanking the Lord for every small step that she is seeing.  She is keeping up a Facebook page with updates.

Graham and Randi have been married for 7 years, have two small boys (1 just now turning one) and love the Lord, serving in ministry at WOL full-time.

   With head injuries there is a lot of swelling on the brain, and this can take some time to heal. At least he was responding to the therapist, which is a positive thing. I have seen God’s wonderful work in these situations, recently with my father…we have a wonderful, merciful God. I will keep Graham and his family in my prayers. Thanks for sharing so that I can pray too.
