WOW!!! Praise God! Thank you, Dr. Lloyd for sharing your healing gifts as well as your faith in such a public way. This gives me hope and makes me believe that there are still a few good docs left! And, David, although I have not posted, I have been keeping you in my prayers, you are a miracle! And an inspiration in more ways than I could ever express, just from sharing your life and mission on your facebook blog. God bless you both!
