I have been gone for quite a while. Sorry to dip back with this news.

My wife, Ginny has just been diagnosed with stage 3B Pancreatic Cancer. It has grown so fast that the Doctors are saying that they have only seen 4-5 cases like this. We are starting all the radiation and chemo treatments, but the best that we can hope for is 9-12 months.

Ginny is a Christian and has always been anxious to see her Savior, but is understandably scared of this part of the trip.

You know what? I have been the visitor from our church that goes to the hospitals and stays with the sick. I have never had a problem praying for the folks that need it and have been granted by my God the ability to stay awake for long periods of time to comfort those that are in need.

For the first time in my adult life I am having a hard time praying. I know that He hears the groans of His children, but I am truly having a time attempting to itterate my prayers. I have great Christian friends that have come along side me and my wife. Our family both biological and church have been wonderful. I teach a mens class in Sunday School and have been ministered to by those fellows, too.

I am asking that you pray for God's will to be done in the matter of Ginny's cancer and that I will be the husband and friend that she needs during this time. The kids are having a go with this and that is weighing on Ginny.

I am really counting on the promises that have been laid out in scripture. One that I cling to is that where 2 or more are gathered in His name, His Spirit will be among them. Please lift us up to the Our Saviour so he can bring them to His Father.

I love you guys and will try to keep you posted.
