Grandma Karen

I'd like to ask everyone to pray for Scott's mom Karen. They came over yesterday to tell us that she has been diagnosed with colon cancer and that it has spread to her liver. Our hearts are so heavy with the thoughts of what's to come. She will undergo tons of tests (liver biopsy, colonoscopy, etc...) in the next week and then her oncologist will make a plan. Please also pray for Scott right now as he deals with this.
Lamentations 3: 22-25 - Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him." The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.
Sissy and her baby.
Our sweethearts.
Getting kisses from Grandpa Tom.

Oh wow ... we will be praying for her and the decisions that are coming down the road.

And ... how do you get Junie to be so gentle with Mac. Can I come over and get parenting lessons! Or just leave Joshua with you for a few hours ... maybe you can work your magic!!
