A Young Man's Battle

Yesterday Tom, Tennyson, and I visited a former student of Tom's in the hospital. Tyler was recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and he was in for his 3rd round of chemo. My heart just hurts for him. He's 14. He's tired. He's sick. He's bald. He's starting high school this year. Can you even imagine what he's going through? Tyler is blessed to have a great support system in his parents, twin brother, and lots of friends.

I know we all have a lot going on in our lives. I know you probably don't even know this family. But I just want to ask that you be praying for Tyler. He's such an amazing young man and he's got an awfully long road ahead of him. Thankfully, his prognosis is good, but for this young soccer player you can imagine his disappointment in missing out on the season.

A good friend of their family is organizing meals, house work, etc. hopefully to cover the entire 42-week chemo schedule. If you feel lead to do more than pray please let me know so we can put you on the "helper" list.

Otherwise, please keep him, and his family, in your prayers. Pray for God's almighty healing power. Amen.
