Hey all,
I've got some sad news to report regarding my brother in law and his wife. They were in a bad motorcycle accident on Saturday morning just before the Memorial Day holiday.
Their names are Shane and Becky Williams. They have 4 children.
Shane will be ok and came out with some pretty bad road rash on his arms, but Becky did not fare so well.
Becky suffered some major head injuries and has undergone several operations on her brain to relieve pressure. Best case scenario is that if she comes through she will not be the same person due to loss of some of the frontal lobe. The last 5 days or so have been a wait and see with regards to her condition and now the doctors say there is not much more they can do except wait and see if swelling goes down.
Friends and family have been helping with the physical needs for Shane and the kids, Shane has been renting a room at the hospital so he can be with Becky. The hospital is about 2 hours from their home. Their kids have been staying with us and occasionally at some friends.
What we need from everybody right now is prayer. Our God is Faithful and True and whatever the outcome of this we know He is Trustworthy. We will praise Him knowing that Becky's eternity is His priority and nothing will get in the way of His love for her. Please pray that in His great Mercy, we might be blessed with some more time in this life with Becky. Pray that Shane and their kids will feel the Love of their Saviour during this time like never before. Pray.
What we need from some of you who can is some financial assistance for Shane. He is getting the time he needs off from his job but not at full pay and it is getting expensive to stay at the hospital. Aside from co-pays with the insurance company for prescriptions and follow up care for doctors and whatever costs might be incurred with future care for Becky, the financial burden is becoming evident. If you live in an area that has an IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union you can go there and simply say you would like to make a deposit into Shane Williams account. If not, or if it is easier to donate online, please click on the "donate" button and donate through PayPal. All donations recieved will go towards helping support Shane and his kids during this time.
God Bless you all and thanks in advance, and thanks be to our God who has saved us through His Son, Jesus.

- Hi there! My name is Coz. Let’s see, where to begin? … I got into music at an early age by teaching myself some basic chords on an acoustic guitar at the age of six. Shortly after, I added drums and piano, then bass guitar. I began singing and songwriting in high school and was determined to carve out a career of music for myself. I had heard of Christians, I thought they were weak minded and phony at best. I wasn’t sure if God was real, and if He was, who or what He was. It actually wasn’t that important to me, I never really thought about it much, I had a life to live and a dream to chase. Come on in and discover where that journey has led...

Praying. Will keep doing so.
Guy in our church, a big guy, several years ago whammed his head on the steering wheel of the little car he was driving as it had three impacts after leaving the country road after slipping on winter ice.
He has a wife & 10 kids.
The swelling took two years to go down. The personality change was major.
In the third year God did a miracle, and the couple have been as if on a honeymoon ever since.
God can do.
As I said, your family is on my list, in this. Thank you for asking.

Thank you everybody for your amazing show of support and prayers.
Shane is deeply moved by the many replies.
Becky is still in a coma, and the swelling does not appear to be going down on its own. Doctors say they should know more in 72 hours.
I will post updates as news comes in.
Thanks again, blessings and peace to all of you.
