Just wanted to post a quick update.  At the beginning of Thanksgiving, we had one child with a cold.  By Saturday, we had all three children with colds and hubby and I at the beginning stages of catching the nasty bug.  I'm sure it will be over soon as we're a bit wiser now on how to clear a cold out of the house.  Years ago, we'd pass it around to each other time and again before finally being rid of it.

In other news, we have found out that our pastor and friend has pancreatic cancer.  On Sunday we were told that the doctors also found a spot on his liver.  He didn't make it to church because he was so weak.  Last Sunday he told us that he is prepared no matter what.  All of his affairs are in order, and more than anything his desire is that God be glorified.  He has such a heart for people that even now he talks of the unsaved who sit in the pews and his desire to see them come to Christ.  He has been at this church around two years, but has made such an impact on the people there.  Many were in tears after hearing the update on Sunday.  At this point, he is having trouble eating and sleeping and is very weak.  This concerns us even more because he lives alone and has no family near.  Of course our church family is doing all we can, but its not the same as someone being there for him around the clock. 

If you feel led, please add Pastor Ralph to your prayer list.  Of course we would like to see him healed on this side of Heaven, but ...
