[Woodcarver] Disturbing News

[revpbm.1 at juno.com]

Dear friends,

I received an e-mail from our friend, Lynn Diel, sharing the news he
received on Friday evening.  To quote Lynn,

"I have been having a pain in my mid back on the right side for the past
couple of days with feeling a little queasy.
Bev and I went to Urgent Care thinking it may be a kidney or gall stones.
 Were totally unprepared for what follows.  After chest X-rays and two
cat scans, the gave us the news.  I have Renal carcinoma that has
attacked one kidney and went across the back and attached to a part of
the liver.  Due to the preliminary findings, they want to go after the
treatment very aggressively.  I am at a loss on what to think or do but
should hear from the myriad of Doctors on Monday."

Lynn gave me permission to share this disturbing news.  I know that he
will appreciate your thoughts and prayers.  I spoke with him a short
while ago and assured him that the Lord will provide the strength to get
through this.  God bless Lynn and his family and each of you.  Paul
