Thank you so much for your prayers for my son. I can't quote the scripture, but I know there is a promise from God that whenever two or more of His children are agreed in prayer according to His will He will answer.

And He is answering every day as my family is drawn closer to one another and closer to Him as a result of this health problem. Some other serious personal problems in our family's relationships have been resolved as a result of this situation. God often works in mysterious ways that we don't understand, and we are seeing that in this situation which no one wanted but may yet turn out to be a blessing in disguise that will have eternal consequences. Again, thank you for your concern.

...sandbagged GHW Bush...

He played Pere Bush like a Grand Piano. That's exactly my point.

I well understand how such an experience can bring a family closer together and to the Lord, and also can help smooth over and heal past hurts. This happened in our family two years ago when my BIL was diagnosed with leukemia. Praise God he is now in remission and doing well! I pray it will be the same for your son.

You might be interested in seeing the prayer thread I started for him when he was diagnosed. Then a year ago we had another scare when his blood test came back positive for the second time, but see the update in post 211. Hope it encourages your faith and hope in what God can do.

Here's the thread: Prayer request for Daddy of 5

He’s a very personable man. Anyone would be comfortable at a BBQ with him. I’m sorry to hear of his cancer and I wish him the very best.

At least he didn’t hang around the Senate until he had to be wheeled out, a true rarity, even more so when you consider he was majority leader of the Senate at the time.

How selfishly un-Christian of you. I’ll pray for your heart to be softened to the suffering of others.

I have never asked for anything like this in the 9 years I have been Freeping, but I would greatly appreciate anyone who will join me in offering a prayer for his full recovery.

You got it! Prayers up for your son and George Mitchell.

NEW YORK — Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to his law firm.

Mitchell, 73, said the diagnosis and treatment will not affect his baseball probe.

Wow, it’s bad enough when they just use the old rubber glove and the finger, I can’t imagine a baseball...

Matthew 18:20 Parallel Translations

19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Thank all of you so much for your concern and prayers for someone who you don't even know. This is proof to me that those of us who know our great Savior and Lord are truly one family in Christ wherever we happen to be located.

TruthSetsUFree, I am typing this with tears on my cheeks after reading your thread and the updates concerning your BIL. His healing gives me even more confidence that my son's disease will be cured, and that he will soon return to his God-given role as father, husband, and breadwinner in good health. I realize that he, and of course all of us, are facing a rocky road for a period of time as he is just now beginning the series of chemotherapy treatments, but your BIL's experience is inspirational and gives us more confidence that Ken will beat this disease by the grace and mercy of our Father in heaven. He felt well enough today to go fishing with me and his kids, and we all just finished a dinner of 10 rainbow trout. It's funny how little things like that which we once took for granted seem so precious now.

The oncologists say that he may be able to get off chemo within 6 months if everything goes well. A PET scan last week showed that the cancer is confined to one lymph node in his neck and apparently has not spread. Thanks to God that it was caught in time to prevent it spreading to other organs.

Again, many thinks to all who have been so kind and gracious as to pray for us, I hope to see you all and thank you face to face one day when we are all gathered around the Father's throne. That's all I can say for now, the monitor screen is getting too blurry to read.

Jokar, I’m very sorry that I didn’t see your post before I wrote to the others who are also praying for my son. I really appreciate your concern and prayers as much as anyone’s, I just somehow overlooked your post. Please refer to #34 and add yourself to that list of recipients.

He was and is a lying devious rat f**k who sandbagged GHW Bush on a deal to make spending cuts in return for a tax increase then reneged on the deal. And that is just for openers.

Thats how I remember him as well.

All the same, heres to a speedy recovery.

I wouldn’t wish cancer on Osama Bin Laden, let alone Senator Mitchell. I pray for his swift recovery, and a long healthy life.

“He’s one of the few Dems I can respect.”

Not if you lived in Maine. He helped decimate our paper industry.

Prayers out to Former Sen. George Mitchell and his family. God grant them the grace to accept his will. If Sen. Mitchell is not saved, I hope he introduces himself to Jesus Christ as soon as possible.
