honey bunches of oats

Hey all,
When I was in high school, and early on in college, I was involved in a weekly camp helping to work on the work crew in the middle school camp, and participating in the high school camp. During work crew, we got to become a very close group, and we'd get together throughout the year for a variety of church and non-church related things. All that being said, I just found out today, that one of my old friends who was having trouble this summer with some inability to use his arm, was just diagnosed yesterday with ALS (Lou Gherig's disease). I did not want to put this on facebook, and please don't comment there, because it is very new, and a private matter. I just want to ask you all to be praying for him and his family. It is incurable and apparently it is progressing pretty rapidly. He is in a wheelchair, which, if you know him is crazy because was one of the most active and in shape people I'd met. Also, he's having a little bit of trouble talking sometimes, and I think a little bit of eating trouble sometimes, too. This is just one of the most shocking things I could imagine. When one of my friends called to tell me, we just lost it. He is one of the kindest, funniest, most talented, all around best guys that I have ever met. He has dedicated so much of himself to the Lord. I would just love it if you could be praying for him and his family and for his close friends. It is such a shock, and it's not a situation where I would be able to text it, so I thought I'd leave it here. Please please please pray for him and his family.
Love you all,
