Each Day Already is a Challenge

A memory, an update, and a thank you

A post on Facebook made me remember the granddaughter of a pastor we had in TX.

Stephanie was a precious angel. She was one of those babies that some people want to abort. The pastor's daughter was raped. The rapist went to prison. And she ended up with a daughter with Down's Syndrome.

Once in a while some old biddy would start yapping her gums about how horrible it was that the pastor's daughter had a baby out of wedlock. As the church secretary, I set them straight.

The family was not afraid to talk about it. Eventually, they even planned to explain it to her, probably when they started discussing about how special touching only belongs in marriage. (That's how the parents of another Down's Syndrome girl that we knew explained things to her.)

I wonder how Stephanie, her mom and grandparents are doing today. Would you join me in praying for them?

As for us, my son had a biopsy done and the lump at the junction of his leg and groin is not cancer. But it is growing. On Wednesday, he has an appointment to discuss whether he needs it surgically removed and when they will proceed with surgery on his hips.

My next appointment with the oncologist/hematologist is Thursday. I should be scheduling another mammogram at that point.

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
