We trust in the name of the LORD our God

If you are new to our family blog, we say Welcome.

To catch you up on the latest news, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer a little over 3 weeks ago. I will be having surgery on Tuesday to remove either the tumor and surrounding tissue, or possibly the whole kidney. The doctors expect that I will be in the hospital 4-5 days and then be able to come home (to the Campus), for 4-6 weeks recovery. The surgery is expected to be curative, with no need for any further treatments.

The surgery will be on Tuesday, April 21, 1:00 PM at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center in Spartanburg, SC. It is expected to take about 3 hours and Rachael will have my laptop with her and will update this blog once I am out of surgery and in a room. Rachael's parents will meet us in Spartanburg on Tuesday and will bring the kids back home (to the Campus), probably on Wednesday morning and stay with them until we return. Rachael will be staying with friends in Spartanburg. Many thanks to so many people in the Spartanburg/Greenville area who have offered so much assistance. The Campus will be well taken care of by Gil and Debbie Thomas.

Thank you all for your friendship, your support and most especially for your prayers. God is good, He is faithful and He is worthy of all our trust. We are resting quietly and confidently in Him.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:6-7
