I've been around FR since 1998, only as a token contributor. But I am taking the step of asking for prayer for my son Matthew, who will be 6 in a couple weeks.
Matthew was just diagnosed with a brain tumor and we expect his surgery will be on Tuesday.
If you can add your prayers to the growing chorus of us sending our requests to God, our family would be very grateful. If your church has a prayer chain or is willing to add our son to your service, that's much appreciated. We know every church family has people in need, so even your taking time to read this post is appreciated.
And please especially take a moment Tuesday morning to pray for Matthew.
For those of you who are interested, our personal website for this situation is at the link below.

I’ll pray for Matthew, his family and friends, and for the surgeons
and their staff.
A renowned neurosurgeon is among the friends of our extended family.
Some physicians are sub-standard, but I get the feeling that neurosurgeons
more than earn their pay. And often get d-mned for not delivering
a miracle when they realistically tell patients about the possibility
of a less-than-optimal outcome.
Here’s hoping all goes well between the ears of the surgical staff!!!
And a Super-Optimal outcome for Matthew.
Your precious little boy is in my prayers. I pray for your strength and for God to guide the hands of the doctors.
Prayers going up right now. The peace of the Lord be with you.
Dear Lord, please be with Matthew and his family as he undergoes surgery this week. Please be with his doctors and surgeons as they operate. Help them to use their knowledge to heal him of this tumor.
He is a precious child, Lord. Please hold him in Your hands.
