Both Cancer

Got two fresh prayer requests. I can’t believe I’m developing a reputation for taking these. Actually, one isn’t that fresh. I neglected a few emails over the last week.

1. A while back, reader Ruth requested prayer for someone named Sarah. You can see the post here. Sarah has breast cancer, and it has invaded her brain. She is not a Christian. Her mother asked for prayer for healing and salvation. Here is part of a recent report:

Sarah is doing good for her condition. She has cancer in the brain which they are treating first. She has started wearing her wig. Her companion is still with her and supporting her. L___ S____has had a fund raising campaign, you may have seen it in the Pilot, to send the family on a dream vacation. She has a doctor that is loving and encouraging. In his words “There are three types of healing, medical healing, miracle healing, and the healing of death.” He has been very straight forward with here but offers encouragement. Asked her if she would like him to meet with her kids, which she did. For someone without insurance, things are going very well. Still a very sad situation.

2. Second, the father-in-law of a friend of mine has some cancerous skin lesions. I don’t know what type, but he is asking for prayer. Generally, you don’t have to worry much unless you have a melanoma and you don’t jump on it right away, but it’s possible to have real problems with basal and squamous cell cancers. I think his name is Carlos, but I asked for confirmation. New information: Gilbert.

That’s it.

Guy from a machining forum sent me some steel, and it arrived today. I may try threading! I can’t wait! Even though it’s a pretty unimpressive thing to do.
