As one who has greatly benefitted from the prayers of many a Freeper, I come to you today to ask for prayers for a dear colleague of mine. His name is Colin and I am proud to call him friend.
Colin was diagnosed today with brain cancer.
Colin and I started our work together in February, 2003 in less than optimal circumstances. In short, he and I were thrown together into a maelstrom of frantic and unending work (upwards of 20 hours a day) immediately following the loss of shuttle Columbia. It was in those days that he and I and many others worked closely together to assure that the latest information was being gathered and made publicly accessible as expeditiously as possible. It was a difficult time, but thanks to God and a great team with whom we were both blessed, we all emerged from that harrowing time with our wits still intact.
Colin is a good man; conscientious and dedicated not only to his work, but to his family. Though all of us around him knew something was wrong with his sudden onset of forgetfulness and increasing difficulties in communicating, it wasn't until he experienced a 10-minute petite mal seizure that it was clear something was incredibly wrong.
Please keep Colin, his wife and his children in your prayers. They face a long and arduous road ahead; one filled with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation...but, I pray, one also filled with hope, faith and recovery.
Thank you all for your prayers. Colin and his family really need them. God bless.
| May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His contenance upon you and give you peace. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. |
Our prayer here in Idaho are rising up to our Father in Heaven for Colin and his family and friends. May His healing Hand be upon them...to comfort them, to lift them up and support them.
God bless you and Colin!
Praying in all agreement for Colin's healing, comfort and spiritual wisdom - and peace of heart mind and spirit to all family.
O Lord our God, Who by a word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every sickness and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to Your servant Colin and cure him of every sickness of which he is grieved; and send down upon him Your great mercy, and if it be Your will, give to him health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Both now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Joining those in prayer and best wishes.
Dear Lord, please wrap Colin up in your cloak of compassion, and grant him freedom from pain, and please grant comfort for his family.
I'm sorry to hear of this. Every good wish for his speedy and complete recovery...
It would be a pleasure to mention him in my prayers.

Both you and Colin will be in mine.

Precious Lord, for thy Name's sake and for thy glory, and for the family of this man, heal him completely and quickly. Spare him Lord from all unnecessary treatments and long term struggles. Strengthen his wife and children Lord with an unshakable faith in You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
