I have a special prayer request this evening for a blogger-buddy of mine.
Deron over at Here in Time is in the end-stages of his disease, Cystic Fibrosis.
I'm sure all of you know what Cystic Fibrosis is and how devastating its effects can be.
Although I don't know Deron personally, I definitely feel like I do, after having read his blog and having gotten to know about him, his 3 year old twin boys and his wife, all through the writings on his blog. (Isn't blogging a GREAT forum??!)
Deron is now at the top of the list for a double lung transplant due to the severity of his CF. Obviously this is a huge, HUGE surgery.
Whatever your faith, I'd ask you to please take a moment and pray for him and his family.
And, if you feel so compelled, you might want to stop by his blog and leave him a little note of encouragement. I know he'd really appreciate it.
Deron is a man of great faith, and he also has a great sense of humor and a very optimistic outlook on life. He has really been an inspiration to me!
Thanks, guys. :-)
PS: Deron, you ROCK!! :-)

Thank you for all of your prayers. I am reminded of Paul's famous verse in his letter to the Philippians. "I can do all things [whatever he asks of me] through Christ who strengthens me."
Though there are times when I despair even of life, I agree that my struggles are light and momentary compared with the future glory we have in heaven. And I firmly believe that nothing I or my family endures here will be in vain (1 Co 15:58).
absolutely. prayers, faith, hope, all of these are powerful things that bring about miracles. my prayers will be with you tonight deron, and tomorrow, and the day after.
Saying a prayer for Deron and his family.
Done. He is added to my daily prayers list....
best of luck to him and his family.
