The Servant's Quarters

I just got back from taking five of my kids to see Cars at the Emagine Theater in Canton, and I called Mom to check on her. She sounded just fine, although she confessed that she's having some discomfort from the pain. However, she did say that the pain is manageable. Her rate of recovery from the surgery seems to be excellent. Thank God.

Tomorrow is the appointment with the surgeon. We should learn the results of the lab tests and whether or not more surgery is needed. Of course, we're asking for prayer that the results come back negative for cancer in the lymph nodes. The appointment is scheduled for 2:45 PM, so we should know the good news (I hope) before dinner.

Also, please pray for my immediate family. This has been a very stressful time for us, and some things have been going on that just have to be the enemy messing with us. Today, a couple of our kids were so bad off in church that neither Rita nor I were able to be present for worship or the sermon. We had to try to calm them down and discipline them. Aidan came down with something during church and spiked a big fever. We've even had some unrest in the neighborhood, even among families that we typically get along with. I can't explain any of this except for the possibility that the enemy is trying to beat us down and get us discouraged. (And frankly, he's doing an excellent job.)

All prayers are gratefully accepted and appreciated.

God bless anyone who's taking the time to read these updates.
