Hey folks, this is Andrew Rappaport, the host of The Wrap Report, Executive Director of Striving for Eternity and the Christian Podcast Community, of which this podcast is a proud member. I want to do a quick podcast, give you guys an update and also a prayer request.

Health Issues and Need for Prayer

So I am going to take some time off from this podcast. I'll start back up in, the plan will be September, probably the second or third week of September. Why? I'm having some health issues, as some of you guys may have seen online.

I'm struggling with, started getting double vision while I was out in California. My blood pressure has always been a problem for the last couple of years, and so trying to get that under control. It's looking good right now, but I have several doctor appointments.

Make sure I don't have things like a brain aneurysm or a stroke, things like that. So, have those appointments. Those are kind of taking up some time and trying to just take a little bit of time to kind of relax and not be as busy.

So we've made the decision to put off doing this podcast for a little while. Going to take a short break, pick it back up in September. So, just wanted to let you know that. And that is something you could be praying for.

Pray for my health, that we get some answers on this stuff and be able to get back to a regular routine of busy, busy, busy. It has affected my ability to travel. It seems that when I travel, that's when the blood pressure gets out of whack.

And every time I'm traveling, I'm coming back and having problems. So, we're trying to find a long-term solution to this. I thank you for your prayers. It means a lot to me when those of you who reach out or email us at infoatstrivingfraternity .com just to encourage me with the fact that this podcast has meant so much to you.

Appreciation for Listeners and Temporary Break

I do these podcasts, I don't see anybody. It's just me behind a microphone. And it means a lot when you guys reach out and tell me how much it means to you when you come to me at conferences and tell me that you listen.

So, I just want to let you know I really appreciate you as an audience. I didn't want to just drop without letting you guys know how much you mean to me. I do this as a benefit to you guys to help in your spiritual walk.

And it means a lot to me to know that it's being helpful. And I really don't like to not provide something for you. But, as I was told, better to provide a little bit less for a short period of time so that I can provide a lot more for a longer period of time.

And that's the advice I'm taking. So, I want to just ask you to consider praying for me. And if you want to send words of encouragement, that would be wonderful. Infoatstrivingfraternity .com. And I would greatly appreciate both of those things.

And so, we will talk to you again in September. See you then. And that's a wrap.
