FROM THE PASTOR

So Pam and I are sitting at home Sunday when  suddenly I had to get up and leave the room. This happened 7 times. The 7th time I was so frustrated that I sort of quasi-semi yelled something like “Good grief! Enough is enough…”

And then I heard this very quiet, humble voice from the other room saying, “Count it all joy.” Ha! I had just preached about that. Well, I suppose I should be happy that she was listening to the sermon! Most of you know by now the awful news we received on Monday. Our youngest daughter Lindsey was scheduled for open heart surgery to remove a 5 cm tumor that was inside her heart. They opened her up, but then immediately had to sew her up because the tumor had grown to now fill up the entire right side of her heart. That was too much to cut so the Dr. couldn’t do anything.

Our options now are immunotherapy, radiation and chemo. They are also talking about a very temporary artificial heart. Lindsey and I have always had the kind of relationship where we try to crack each other up, even in the difficult times. I think it was Tuesday, after we were coming to terms with it all when I finally told her, “hey Linds, I guess now your testimony will include that not only do I not have a tongue but I’m also heartless!”

All joking aside, we can’t tell you how grateful we are that we have a Church Family who really knows how to pray. Thank you for lifting Lindsey to the Lord. We raised a Warrior who is still fighting and still believing that the last chapter of her life has yet to be written.

Love you all,

Randy & Pam
