A Prayer Request
Dear Friends,
Some of you may remember that in the past I have asked for your prayers, and I have been very grateful for the response. This is another of those occasions. This is a difficult thing for me to write about so please bear with me. The reason for this posting is that I am soliciting your prayers for my daughter Amy McGough, and the twins she is currently carrying that are due November 7th. Amy is a cancer survivor and has battled cancer multiple times in the last 10 years. Yesterday she was told that she has a tumor which is threatening not only her twins, but her own life. This is a very sad and difficult time for us, as her twins, Abby and Adam would be the first twins in our family. Abby would be our first ever granddaughter. We refuse to give up on any of them. In the King James Version of the Bible, in the book of James 5:16, we are told: “ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This verse has gotten me through some very tough times, and I stand on it today. I know that many of you are persons of faith, and I would ask that you contact your own church and have her and the children put on their respective prayer lists, and that you would personally pray for Amy and her babies that they would receive God’s mercy and the touch of His hand in these circumstances to restore her health, and the spare the lives of our unborn grandchildren. Thank you in advance for your time and prayers, and please know that I will pray for each of you as well. -John

You, your daughter, your family and the new lives to be are certainly in my thoughts with best wishes for health and suppression of the tumor.
If you will pardon a short story... My cousin, and one of the few members of my family I'm close to, was chief of police in a small town 25 years ago. He broke up a bar fight and was pretty beat up himself after the altercation. While he wanted to go home, the paramedics insisted he go to the hospital. It was there that they discovered he had Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was treated with the early radiation therapy they had available then, and survived it. He's still here with us today in a successful business; one son through college. Your spirit of support and belief and her determination can only help through this difficult time. My spirit is with you all. Marc

John, Debbie and I will pray for her and your family. When I was in a coma in Costa Rica I was given last rights a priest put a rosary around my neck and St. Jude token in my hand. As I slowly came out of my coma Debbie noticed I was grasping the cross and token. Faith and prayers are essential and do work. My Italian step grandma will light a candle and pray to Saint Jude.

John, you have got my prayers. I know what it is like to be a survivor and it isn't easy. Just remember God doesn't give you more than he thinks you can endure!

After reading your message I prayed that your daughter would have her cancer taken away. It is a good thing to ask for prayers as our relationship with the Big Guy is the most important one in our lives.

John,
My prayers are with your twin grand children, your daughter and you. We are all in God's Hands and under His Love. He listens to all of our prayers. My daughter spent along time in the hospital when carrying twin boys. We prayed for God's love and protection. He listened and answered our orayers. God bless you and your family. Dick Herman |
