Today was a surreal kind of day…Mom and I sat in the waiting room for almost 3 hours waiting on my Dad’s test. It was good Mom/Son time…at one point I think she needed to talk about the “C” word and what we would do if they find cancer. I think she needed to just get some things out there…it is a very human thing. We had some tears together and I just tried to assure her that we would get through this. It’s ironic but in some ways our entire family has spent the last 10-15 years coming along side of others who were going through difficult times and I just have this peace that we will come together as a family and get through this. God has blessed us with an incredibly close family. Buddy, Kristin, and I have the privilege of serving God vocationally, so we have lots in common. We synch up really well philosophically. Don’t mistake close for perfect…we have our issues…one of the secrets to our closeness in our sense of purpose, great spouses, and the fact that we all live far apart.
Michelle was a big help today…I just needed a break after Mom and I talked and I called home. She is great at times like these…her mercy is amazing…thanks Babe!
On a “yea God” note…I am pumped today to get a positive report from one of my best friends whose wife got a NEGATIVE biopsy report today. Sweet!
I want to encourage you to watch Gail and Joanne’s interview if you haven’t had a chance. They are awesome and it will bless you in a big way. Set aside some quiet time and take it in. God will bless you…Thanks again to all of you for your prayers and support…I feel it. For now we wait…

Thanks for the update, John. I've been praying all day and will continue. So glad to hear of your time with your Mom and so very, very thankful you were there for her. I know waiting is hard. Just remember the many praying friends all over the country and always remember that God is good. Love to you and your family, Wendy
Hi Pastor John,
I am kind of dittoing what Wendy said above me, but I just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and you family. I know that the waiting is the WORST part! But I just want you to know that we are thinking about you and praying for you. And I am sure your mom was glad to have you there with her. I think God makes us wait for things to not only test our faith but to make us put the important things in perspective (even though the waiting is torture...) Hope you are able to sort of enjoy your visit.
