My heart is so heavy tonight. I just spoke with a very dear childhood friend whose husband has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. He is 42 years old. They have 4 children.He begins chemotherapy the week after next. Once they get him in remission he will need a bone marrow transplant. From what my friend told me, it cannot be cured, only treated. Life expectancy varies.
They are very devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In fact, Blaine is currently serving as bishop. Their trust is in God and they are strong.
Please join me in storming heaven for Blaine Savage and his family.
Lord, look upon Blaine with eyes of mercy, may your healing hand rest upon him, may your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength for service in your Kingdom. Amen.
