May he recover quickly....
I lost two of my best friends to heart attacks in the last six years...almost a third one a year ago Christmas...
Life is short and gets shorter every day. Never miss an opportunity to do something with a friend...you never know when it will be the last time you see them.

Friends all. I wish there were and easy way to condense all the happenings of the last, ugh time has really gone by, 20 months! Wow, it doesn't seem possible. Alas, I'm still alive and have made it here. Thank you all for your prayers. If it hadn't been for them, the intervention of Father God, and an outstanding wife, I don't know where I would have ended up.
My friend and brother Joel is doing better, having been through three stints at the time of the original post. This spring I had to take him to the emergency room again. This time for 4 by-passes. On top of that, he has had some ongoing complications that have required more procedures. He's now back to work after a rollercoaster year. My father has recovered well. Well enough to become his old self again. I guess the reprieve of the last months should be taken thankfully. Now it seems it is business as usual and we are back to a tedious estrangement. Sad but not unexpected. Also in this year, another friend named Joe, who Joel and I shoot with pretty regular has also had a near death blow. Joe is a curious sort of fella but hasn't taken his diabetes seriously. He was found nearly unresponsive at his home this spring the same time Joel went in for cardiac surgery. Joe has recovered somewhat, but is now walking by walker with assistance. Has to be helped to be seated or stand, in transportation or out. Renal failure has left much damage to his CNS. As for my wife and I, we are now nearly recovered from a serious financial blow that took place a few years back. The door opened for the casting biz, but alas with everyone around flirting with death, overturning of many at my local job and the subsequent additional responsibilities it has entailed, had left me ready to throw in the towel on everything. Honestly I couldn't bring myself to check it with the forums, as it just seemed like there was so much I couldn't keep up with before. Therefore, I ask for forgiveness from you all. I fell I've let a lot of people down.
With the help of a group of folks in NM, and a call from Fermin Garza about two months ago, I've started to heal up and discover my love for shooting/casting an most of all, dreaming again. It is a terrible thing to be alive, yet dead at the same time. Thanks to all of you here. Your prayers were and are a blessing.
In other news, new molds are coming for the business. I've had to start over, so to speak. Tom at Accurate molds now has my molds listed as Corder Design. If you want a mold they are on Accurate's pages. I'll now have four designs for the 32, I'll be doing bullets for them. They are 85 gn, 100gn, 120 gn ( the bullet Fermin tested ) and a 130 grain with two crimp positions. .290 nose to crimp and .365 nose to crimp. Alloy is set for 92/6/2 (1/2 lino + 1/2 lead )and will cast a bit heavier with a richer lead content. They all wear gas checks.
Again, thanks so much for your prayers. Todd
P.S. Thanks Fermin for the call.

Prayers for healing both physically and emotionally. Hospital stays of this magnitude can create humility on each end, and the Lord loves a humble man

Learned earlier this week once again how out God is a God who wants to heal but His healing is on His timeframe, not ours. Humbleness and patience help to accept this in my personal life. You and the family are in my prayers this evening.

Friends all. I respectfully ask if you would add the following to your prayers. Last weekend my best friend Joel, who is as close to a twin brother I have in this world, had a heart attack and needed three stints to get him going again. He's home and doing well. Gave me a pretty good scare but not half as much as he was. Keep him in your prayers as he recovers. He posts here as Guhn. However, on Friday, I get a call from my Uncle who wanted to talk to me at home. This is pretty unusual and I didn't know quite what to make of it. When he arrived, he let me know that my father is in the hospital in a very serious condition. He went in with chronic fatigue and shortness of breath. When the tests were done determining it was blockages in his heart and set him up for a cathaterization and stints. However the doctor preforming the procedure came out within a few minutes and stated that there was no way this procedure was going to work. The doctor stopped counting the clogged arteries at 8, yes 8 and scheduled open heart surgery for first thing Monday morning. They would not let my father go from the hospital nor transfer him to another facility due to the sheer number of blockages all ranging from 80-95% blocked, including the main artery at 95%. I can tell that both my father and mother are quite scared at this point, due to the severity of the situation. They both could use any prayers on their behalf to Father God. I too could use your prayers too, as the relationship between us has been strained for a number of years. ( which is a polite understatement ) I could really use a lot of things right now, but wisdom is probably chief among the list. There is a lot more I would like to add, but simply don't have the ability to articulate the many things I have to think on right now. Thank you. Todd You got them .
