No April Fool
"In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." Job 1:22
When bad things happen, it is natural to search for the cause, for someone or something to blame it on. When no cause can be found the foolish heart begins looking at God with an accusing finger, attributing folly to God. I've heard it, you've heard it. But God help us not to be guilty of it. Instead, may we follow Job's pristine example of complete faith without charging God foolishly.
Facing the facts: so far God has not chosen to heal Malcom. We still continue to pray for that, knowing that God is able to do so if he chooses.
Test results: The bone scan done on Thursday reveals the cancer is continuing to grow and spread in his bones, especially the left femoral head which explains the pain Malcom is experiencing in his left hip. Monday (April 3) we will have a consultation with an oncology radiologist. Radiation therapy may be needed to ease the symptoms.
The pain in Malcom's hip and leg is getting worse by the day. He is doubling up on the pain meds per doctor's instructions. Prayers for the easing of the pain would be greatly appreciated.
