Prayer Request

Hey Guys--
I just received this from my friend Jon:

Hey Matt, Jon here...

Just found out today while at work that my mom has cancer. She's going to
have surgery September 10th. So if you have a chance, can you keep her in
your thoughts and prayers. I figure the more the better. It's really taken
me back, as there's pretty much nothing I can do to help and it leaves this
helpless feeling.

It's been a rough year, my appendix and now this. I guess this is just one
cross we'll have to bear.

-Jon

I was wondering if you guys would pray for his mom, for him, and the whole family during this situation. What a tough thing to have to go through; I know that God can bring healing and comfort to them, and I know that they will appreciate your prayers. Thanks, friends!

I'll also keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. Cancer sucks. I lost my sister (age 43) to ovarian cancer 2 years ago. For that matter, any disease sucks... I lost my dad in '96 to ALS (Lou Gherig's disease, and then my mom in '99 to multiple sclerosis. At first I got pissed off at God for taking away my family and leaving me all alone (almost alone...I have a son), but then I accepted it as part of his "plan"...whatever that may be.

Man, that's terrible and I'm really sorry to hear that all that stuff happened. There's not much anyone can say other than "hang in there." I totally understand the feeling of not knowing why stuff is happening. It's hard when your world suddenly comes crashing down like that out of nowhere. There's a new song I've been working on with that very theme, in fact.
