Prayers for Local Pediatrician
As a humorist, I can usually find the “funny” in about anything. However, this is a difficult time to find material when all everyone wants and needs to do is to aid the people of Haiti. The earthquake last week deeply saddened my heart and photos in the media have made it impossible to ignore. Which is finally a good thing!
However, as I sit down to write this posting, my heart is pained on a personal note. This morning the Kansas City Star ran a front page article on the disappearance of Dr. Frank Vaughters, a beloved Kansas City pediatrician who was doing mission work in Haiti at the time of the earthquake. No one has heard from him since. Even though I only worked with him briefly as a home health nurse, his compassion and love of his job shined through the phone when I would call with worries about his patients. Obviously, with his dedication to the people and children of Haiti, his passion for healing was greater than most and his disappearance is devastating.
If you are a prayerful person, please take a moment and send a prayer to Dr. Vaughters, his family, his fellow co-workers, his patients and their families. And please pray for a miracle for this doctor (who so selflessly creates miracles for children and families every day) so that he will call home once again… God bless you, Dr. Vaughters.
