The dreaded "C" word...

It is with a very heavy heart that I prepare to travel to St Joseph's hospital in KCMO tomorrow for my dad to have prostate surgery...it is not good. We received the "news" yesterday evening and they scheduled the surgery for in the morning. I have to say that when this all broke loose 26 September, I had "that feeling" yesterday's visit to the specialist confirmed what I suspected, prostate cancer.

The verse John 12:28 was in my devotional this a.m.

“Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”


It was comforting to know that regardless we will glorify His name to the best of our ability...even in crisis and we know He will sustain us. The road ahead is uncertain and appears bumpy but it is already a comfort to know I will not walk it alone.

Updates will be coming as I am able while away from home.
