A lot…
A lot has been going on. I dropped out of this community for a while and was focusing on my own. But never forgetting this place. This place of community. This place of peace. Any place you hear His voice has those things.
The past few six months have been good. They have been blessed. The past few weeks have been tough.
 April was the last month of the show I have been hosting for over a year and a half. But I was keeping in contact with my castmates and my friend Brian was working to get me onto a few other shows.
Two Mondays ago, I found out Brian passed away. It was sudden and very unexpected. It has rocked all of us from the show to our core.
I have been sad. Sad because my friend is gone. Sad because hopelessness won his life.
It made me truly realize what a family our cast had become.
Now we are one less. Now we are changed.
Then there is today.
One of my best friends Walt had an Aniogram today in preparation for his surgery tomorrow where they will remove one fourth of his lung to remove a Pulmonary Sequestration.
He’s 31.
I spent last night with him talking and praying. There is peace over it all now. But I cannot say that I am not nervous. I cannot say that I am not worried. He is someone who has been in my life for many years and I wish he were not going through this. But the surgery is going to make him stronger. The surgery is going to heal a lot more than this ailment. I pray for his health and healing in so many ways. I have seen how this has taken it’s toll over the past few years. I have seen him win the battle but lose the war. I have seen him break down and cry out “why?” Hopefully all of that will fall away from him tomorrow and new things will begin.
So I will go to sleep praying tonight for him, for all aspects of tomorrow, for my family, my friends, for so many things.
There will be peace in this.
There will be rest from this.
I will press on.
