   It seems like I have always celebrated the miracles of Easter….but this year was different. I felt like every moment from Good Friday thru Easter Day I was very aware of the sacrifice Christ made for me. Maybe it was
   because a friend of ours son is dying. He is 20 years old and his birthday is today. He has cancer. He was still at University last week and now he is home and is in a lot of pain….cannot eat and can barely speak…but his mind is perfect and he is very aware that he is going to be with our Lord soon. Please pray for his parents and his 12 year old sister. God Bless

   How saw! I prayed for him.

   Wow…I just read Pam’s comment above, and you’re not going to believe this, but the EXACT SAME THING happened to me, for a similar reason!

   I have been burdened and praying for the salvation of one of my patients, who I saw for the first time in months last week (Tues. morning). He also has inoperable liver cancer, and he is dying. He is in his 50′s, is a good and gentle man, and his wife and family are really good folks.

   So I’m sitting there through his 6-hour chemo treatment, KICKING myself b/c it was the oNE TIME I had forgotten my Bible, with all these great Bulgarian evangelistic tools inside it. Then I realized that was just a crutch, because I was too much of a coward to just witness cold to this nice man (a believer, btw) who is dying.

   So then, the patient pulls out his Bulgarian New Testament and is reading silently for an hour or so, while I mentally make excuses as to why I can’t seem to go any further than talking about how we celebrate Easter. I find it so hard to initiate sharing the Gospel with anyone. Even dying people holding New Testaments.

   Well, when we were leaving, I walked out with them and we exchanged phone numbers. In my wallet, I had one Bulgarian tract left – which answers questions about eternal life – and one witnessing card (in English, but it has that really cool Thomas Blackshear paining “Forgiven” on it), both of which I gave him. He said, “Oh, this is exactly for me!” I’m pretty sure he knows he’s dying, and is trying to know God better. He is of the Eastern Orthodox faith. He may very well be saved; it certainly seems like God has been drawing him to Himself and he is seeking God. I just keep praying and praying that his faith will become sight and God will comfort him and his family. I have a birthday card to send him in the mail today. So anyway, that’s what God has really laid on my heart this week, coinciding with the solemnity and joy of Christ’s passion and resurrection.
   
   I’m glad that you went ahead and gave it to him! It’s easy to ignore the Spirit’s promptings isn’t it?

   My husband fell down 13 stairs and broke his head open on the cement floor. So he had an ambulance ride to the hospital. He had cat scan of head and neck and x ray of his wrist. All were normal they glued his head wound shut then put what appears to be little strips of fabric tape over the glued area. He is very bruised. Praise God no broken bones and he didn’t get killed. The very next day he had surgery on his left carotid artery. That went very well. aone inch block which covered 90% of the artery in that area was removed. He is doing well. Also something else I had asked Lizzie to pray about. Lizzie your prayers were answered I went to pick him up by myself and I did not get lost. It was as if I drove there everyday. Thanks for all your prayers Lizzie. We love you. Gods protection is great He is so good to us.
   
   I DID pray for you to be comfortable driving. I’m not one who enjoys driving so I understand. I’m so glad he’s ok and that you made it! Thank God the fall wasn’t worse!
