The power of prayer

It's hard to believe that four years ago we received a phone call telling us that my brother in law, Dave, had been diagnosed with cancer and he had six months to live. After several aggressive surgeries to remove the cancer that was embedded in his brain he fought. He fought to survive and praised God every step of the way. In the past four years we have seen miracle after miracle in Dave's life. Here we are almost 4 1/2 years later and Dave is still with us! Unfortunately the cancer has spread and Dave is quickly declining. Surgery is no longer an option. Those of you who know me well, know that Dave has played a significant role in my faith over the past few years and it is with tearing eyes we will soon say good bye. We got to spend some much needed time with Dave, Sarah and Rachel twice in the past month. Dave looked great and we enjoyed our time with them! We received word that Dave's healthily and physical ability is quickly declining and arrangements are starting to be made. PLEASE PRAY!!!! God is not done yet!!! Please pray for Sarah (my sister), Rachel my little niece and Dave's family. I cannot imagine! The below picture is Dave meeting Aliya for the first time on June 27, 2008.
