The week has just raced away...and I realise that I haven't posted an
update to praying friends.

Keith's latest rounds of tests came back negative, these were for markers
of neuro-endocrine tumours. So that's good...kind of. Because we still have
to, somehow, find out what these tumours are now - "a storm in a teacup" to
use my sister's expression, or an incidental finding of an ominous
situation, perhaps in time to do something about it. Either way, there will
be gratitude.

One real and immediate answer to prayer...my sister emailed a top
specialist in Cape Town, Professor Krige who is Head of
Gastro-Enterological Surgery at the medical school. Somewhat amazingly, he
can see Keith on Tuesday morning. Keith is already in Cape Town as he has
been working there since Thursday (a church consulting job followed by a
highlight of his year, the outstanding Starlight Classics outdoor concert
at Vergelegen Wine Farm, which is just down the road from our old house in
Somerset West).

So he's going to stay on until Tuesday. And there's more: my brother in law
- not usually known for playing a supportive role in our side of the family
- travelled to Cape Town yesterday to take my nephew for a look-see at the
University of Stellenbosch, which is close to Somerset West. He has taken
Keith's medical file and a disc with all the images done so far, for the
Prof to study before he sees Keith.

I am fine, my boys are back from camp sunburned but happy, and though one
cannot help but feel unsettled there is peace in our house. Your prayers
are gratefully felt, and from now on, having experienced the benefits of
sustaining prayer, I'll be doing more to add my prayers when requests are
made. Thank you, Lynn, for rehabilitating the Prayer Request summary, it is
a valuable document of the prayer life of our List community as well as a
handy reminder.

"Of the increase of His government and peace, there shall be no end"...!
