A Prayer Request

You may have noticed that it's been a little quieter around here the last week, and for the most part it's because I just haven't had the time to deal with the site...

Last weekend, my mother went into the hospital because she was feeling ill and having terrible headaches, and shortly thereafter she was admitted to be treated for a mass in the brain. She underwent Gamma Knife radiation surgery last Wednesday, has been getting daily radiation treatment since then, and may undergo chemotherapy shortly due to fears that the tumor is cancerous. It's been difficult for her and my whole family, as she is a breast cancer survivor, has been clean for over 3 years, and we all thought that chapter of our lives was over.

On top of that, she had just moved with my dad and sister to a new community, nearer my wife and I, less than a week before being admitted, so she's dealing with all new doctors. I also started a new job last Monday before we knew exactly how serious things were for her, and I haven't had the option of taking days off. Then this past weekend, the transmission in my car broke down on one of our trips to visit her and my dad, and it looks like we'll need to search for a replacement.

It's been difficult, let alone all the other stuff that has been piling on, and I know we could all use your prayers. In the meantime, please excuse the sporadic updating of the site.

Also, if anyone would like to submit a story as a guest author to help fill the void, please feel free to submit them to gnilsen@ifjesushadawebsite.net.

Thanks for your prayers in advance.
