A man at my church, Ron Johnson, has terminal cancer. I think it started as lung cancer, chemo sent it into remission, then it came back. It has spread quite a bit and the doctors say he is terminal and won't last too much longer.

Several years ago he and his family bought a house that he was going to fix up before he dies. It is not done yet and he is too weak to finish it. To help him out my church is setting up an "Extreme Makeover" type thing to help finish what still needs to be done.

The smoke is for him, the makeover, and his family. Offer it as you see fit. The makeover is this friday and saturday.

I wish I could do more than just send Smoke Yoippari.:(
 
Smoke up this evening. Cancer is a horrible disease. My father-in-law is fighting liver cancer right now. Looks like he'll be ok. he was very very lucky, and i KNOW he has pulled through thanks to prayer and well wishes from others. It sounds like your church is doing a very good thing. i think it's important that when a person walks West they feel that have tied all loose ends and left nothing undone. This will be a great summery to a man's life, a story that he will always be attached to. I can only hope to be so lucky one day. Prayers for his cancer. May it go into remission. If not, then may it be merciful and take him without any more undo pain. Please keep us posted.

Ron will be remembered this evening with smoke.

Yoippari, what you and your church are doing is just beautiful.

He is indeed fortunate in his misfortune to have your help.


Ad Astra :(
 
He does have a wife and kids. Jennifer, graduated last year and spent the summer in the dominican republic with a mission group. I'm just glad that he didn't go while she was a way. She is attending George Fox University. Both Ron and Lynda (the wife) have kids from previous marriges who are all moved out.

I don't know if remission is a possibility. It is all over his body including his brain. It would take a miracle for him to pull through this. Of course that is part of what the smoke is for. Before we bury him though, he will see his home finished.

Your father in law is indeed lucky Jake. Nowadays if it is caught soon enough and treated properly most can pull through, however; it never seems that way.
