There is just so much in this world that I don't understand. My own life has brought many things, but even with all I've been through in my short 27 years on earth, I feel like my burden is light compared to that of others (at least for right now).

Gage: a little boy around Myles' age who has had cancer once already and now possibly has it again. It's a tumor in his brain. His last MRI showed that maybe there is no tumor where they thought so they are having a more detailed one tomorrow. Believe with me that God has taken this tumor out and Gage will not suffer any more from cancer.

Larry: He is a pastor here in Joplin. About 6 weeks ago his heart started to give him trouble and since then it's started to give out on him. His heart function is about 10% of what it should be and I was told tonight that one day this week for 11 hours straight he had to fight to breath, even on oxygen, and if he stopped to take a break from it he felt like he was drowning. He said he was totally exhausted after that. The doctors cannot find what is causing this heart failure and they told him the only hope for his is a heart transplant. The condition he's in right now doesn't really give him the time to wait for a new heart. It is so bleak but God is in control and Larry is very positive. He's believing God for a miracle, but says if God is ready to take him home he accepts it. Larry has a wife and 4 children under the age of 25.

Molly: A little baby girl still in her mommy's tummy. She has been diagnosed with two heart defects. It's a very rare diagnosis and the drs have told her parents that most babies w/ this diagnosis die in utero, never even making it to birth. If she does live to be born she will need surgery right away to put in a pacemaker and also the Norwood, which is the 1st surgery Damon had. Her mom is taking medication that will pass through the umbilical chord to hopefully stop Molly's heart from failing. They are believing God to keep her alive and safe until delivery, but also are facing reality that it might not go that way.

Family from Pryor: They were all four killed in a car accident this week. Dad, Mom, and two brothers. Tonight I found out that the only remaining son is coming home from Iraq to bury his entire family. God help him. Comfort him. Hold him.

Damon, Hayden, Cade, Braeden, Dalton, Elijah: Six little warriors who are doing well, but are still fighting. Every day is a journey down this special road they've been chosen to travel. It's easy to forget where they've been when we see and hear about them being so normal, but we must never forget.

I know you don't know who most of these people are. I know what it's like to say you'll pray for someone that you don't know, don't care about. But what if this was someone in your family. Wouldn't you want people to say they would pray for you and really do it? I just really have a burden for these people. My heart grieves for them tonight. But GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE, HE IS IN CONTROL.
