We have some friends who are (hopefully) on their way to our house for the weekend. The guy has been a friend of ours for over forty years. When all our kids were little, we'd gather at each other's homes to cook, play music, and just have fun. We're still long-distance friends with his ex-wife. We've only known his present wife for a few years, but we think the world of her. We've spent the weekend at their home at times (about three hours away from here.) I can't remember, but I think I may have written here that our friend has recently been diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer. It's already spread to his bones and lymph nodes. He's on chemo pills and other drugs, but no radiation or regular chemo. I'm so surprised when we talk to him that so far, he doesn't have a lot of pain and is in very good spirits. I know that those of you who are Christians will understand that our biggest concern is the state of his soul. We pray God will heal him and I know He still does miracles. And our friend is a good man, but he's never wanted anything to do with God. We talk to him, try not to "preach" at him, but time is short and this is too important to ignore. I know myLotters have several different religious beliefs and some none at all, but for those of you who do share our Christian belief, please pray for our friend that someone, somehow will reach his heart. I know the "Hound of Heaven" will honor all our prayers. But God can't make someone accept Him. We're looking forward to going out tonight for supper at our favorite restaurant, Deadwood. It's a really cool western themed local place with great steaks and sweet potato waffle fries. I better get a few more things done before they get here. Hope you guys have a wonderful and blessed weekend!
