Prayer Request

Calling all saints... A close friend and neighbor of mine (Stef) has just been shockingly diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He is 36 (that is my age) with 3 kids. He just shared the news on his blog today... here's a taste:

... Sandi and I are not running. We are facing this head on. We are usually people that do things ourselves and handle things on our own. Not this time. We will need to reach out and ask for help. Here is what you can do for us, PRAY!! Pray for patience, strength (mental and physical), wisdom of physicians, and COMPLETE HEALING!!!

He is a leader at church, in the community, at work and at home. But he has been stripped of self-reliance and is reaching out to the body for support. Would you please visit his blog and leave an encouraging comment and then keep him and his family in your prayers!!
