These past several days have been a whirlwind which I’ve written each and every day. The past two days I’ve addressed the spiritual warfare and what I’ve learned from this realization. Last night was the night when I counsel through the evening. As I got home and was warming my supper my phone rang. It was my brother whose son was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. His daughter and son-in-law had flown in yesterday morning to spend a couple of days with the family and to pray over her brother (she and her husband co-pastor a church in California). Ron, my brother, called to tell me when his son and his wife arrived, their demeanor was changed from the sadness of their recent news. He quickly began to share with them the following news:

Matt, my nephew, had shared his diagnosis with his boss who said he would be supporting him all the way. This boss had called his own who lives in California. (This boss owns the company Matt works for). His boss told him that he would share this with his very good friend who was a world-renown neurologist who is doing brain cancer research in West Virginia. In his doing this, he told Matt’s boss to let him know his friend wanted Matt to fly back and let him be part of his most recent research trials where some success is being found. I don’t know more than this, but I do know that Matt and his wife, along with us family members, just can’t thank God enough for giving a glimmer of HOPE!

John 1:4-9 tells of John the Baptist telling how Jesus is the Light that penetrates darkness. This present darkness of the past few days has been given this Light of Jesus–HOPE. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions except that God does really care for each and everyone of His kids! How much I thank Him for this!
