Rainbow at West Knox High

Last Friday night, the Sullivan South football team was playing against Knoxville's West High School when number 54 Jake Logue collapsed and died. The students at West High held a prayer service the following day, and a rainbow appeared at the 5 yard line. That was exactly where Jake took his last steps on earth before going to be with the Lord.

Praise Report

I have a praise to share with you. Last week my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. On Friday, she had surgery and the malignant tissue was removed. They said they'd let us know what stage the cancer was in sometime this week. Yesterday, I received a call informing me of the Doctors report. The cancer was at the earliest stage and they believe they removed all of it. PTL!

The surgeon stressed the importance of women having regular checkups with their doctor to help detect breast cancer at an early stage. He said because my mom had done this, it may have saved her life. If it's been awhile since you've had a mammogram or visit to your doctor's office, I want to encourage you to get something scheduled as soon as you can. It could be the difference between life and death.

Breast cancer is very real. Here's some statistics. Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in Hispanic women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women.

Prayer Request

This past Wednesday, I received a call from my wife and she told me she needed to talk to me about something when I got home. When she told me that I knew it must be something very serious. And I later found out that my intuition was correct. After a few minutes on the phone, I was able to convince Marsha to tell me. She wanted to wait because she knew the news would be difficult for me to hear. And it was...my Mom has breast cancer. Her Doctor confirmed the cancer last week and performed surgery on her this past Friday. Tomorrow we'll find out what stage the cancer is in, so if you would keep my Mom in your prayers I would be most grateful. Her name is Rita.

Blessings,
