Rich's wife

I didn't think it would be bad to post this here, since the G&S newsletter is public. This is from Rich's newsletter that just came out:

"Carole, my wife, completed her final in a series of 12 chemotherapy treatments for her brain tumor this month. Unfortunately, last week's MRI showed very dramatic changes compared to two months ago, although Carole symptoms have not changed significantly. There was a small area of enhancement (usually indicative of tumor growth) and very unusual thickening of the gray matter in the right frontal lobe. The doctors have never seen such dramatic thickening in a patient before, and so are going to repeat the MRI next week. We would appreciate your prayers for Carole's treatment."

Kristoffer, if you want some answers, why don't you read the bible AND pray? God said to seek, and you will find. Why not try and seek Him (it's funny for so many people to say they don't see evidence of Him, but, have they tried to seek Him)? And BTW, "prey" in English means a carnivore's dinner.

Well I am unable to be a carnivore's dinner than, which makes sense because I am buff! (and vegetarian)

Anyhow, How exactly do you pray. Is it sort of like meditation, closing your mind and shutting all thought off? I can't see how emptying myself so much would really help right now. Thought on the other hand is caring, if you can spare some thought then that is like infusing a bit of who you are thinking of into yourself, it is an aspect of empathy that I regular enjoy.

PS. Uk english it is to prey...atleast i was sure it was. thats like the 5th country i visited y>:D<

Prayer is different than meditation that requires shutting all thought off. Its simply a conversation, thoughts to God....it needs no fancy language but it does require honesty, God desires that with conversations to and with Him.

Pray is a means to talk with God and listen to Him...it is a means to worship, to praise, to plead, to cry.

If you want a good book of the Bible for prayer, read through the Psalms. Above all else, the Psalms show us some of the most emotionally laden prayers to God.

God is always there to listen to an honest heart even though you cannot see Him.
It is a wonderful experience to talk to Him as a person and know that He is listening, then to listen as He speaks to you.

(The correct spelling is pray. Prey as a verb means to attack and either kill or harm. As a noun it is an object that is attacked and either killed or harmed).

Just to give you all an update, Rich posted the following on Face Book:
Rich Deem wrote:Thanks for your prayers. Carole's MRI on Monday showed that the tumor is probably not growing and that the strange changes in contrast were probably due to some weird seizure activity. The doctors are very surprised that the drastic changes seen in June are nearly gone.
So good news! Pray that she will be fully healed!
