Update 10/30: Received word last night that the surgery was completed and the tumor removed. Craig is recovering. However, there’s possibility of some very difficult news. Unfortunately, what was initially diagnosed as a benign tumor is likely cancerous – 80% probability according to the pathologist. The complete diagnosis and pathology report will be released in 3 days.
I have chosen to move the updates on Craig’s situation to the Quest Church community blog. Because this blog receives its fair share of visitors and subscribers from all over, I prefer not to take the focus away from surrounding Craig and Betty with care and prayer. Some comments were posted re: the authenticity or reality of prayer [and God] and while I’m a supporter of open dialogue, I’d rather not use this occassion or blog entry to pursue that. Instead, I’d prefer to direct people to this blog entry, Does Your Prayer Work, which was written by one of the commenters on his blog, I believe, in response to this blog entry. Feel free to engage there and be nice blokes.
And yes, I still invite you to join us in prayer for Craig and Betty.
