When you feel like you have it all together (or mostly anyway, and you are in the routine of life) a panic stop is the last thing you expect. But, right now, we have encountered one. My life is now controlled by many more circumstances and physicians.
We have told close family already, but there are many other friends and family we want to include.. Tonight we made the announcement to our church family and showed the video attached. (Provided I can get it to attach.) If not, the URL for the YouTube site is

This was a hard but very encouraging night. Tomorrow afternoon, if all the insurance stuff is coordinated and in place, then we will start the chemotherapy.

Tom...thanks for letting us know, and helping us know how to pray for you. Keep us posted, and it was pretty smart to give everyone the warning about grumpiness!
ReplyDeleteTom & Family,
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful for you and love you. We will certainly be earnestly and fervently praying for you.
I Peter 5:10
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
Or as the Message puts it
"So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ - eternal and glorious plans they are! - will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does."!!!

ReplyDeleteThe Thompson's will also be praying for you and your family.
1 John 4:18
Dear Uncle Tom,
ReplyDeleteYou have always been in our prayers and thoughts and will continue to be in our prayers more specifically.
' And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry and will deliver you.' Is 46 vs 4.
As we watched the video as a family, mum very instantly spoke up this verse, It is our faith that, Our God who has used you in such a mighty way, not just in America but across the world, is still faithful to use you in more mighty ways in the coming years.
Tom,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers through this trying time. May God be with you always (as I know he is) and may his healing hands touch you.

As a man of faith and practice, this illness will no way can overtake you. Further, you won a host of prayer warriors to plead for you. Possibly it’s a testing time.
