Joey just landed in Chicago and found out from his caseworker that the former pastor of Calvary Memorial has pancreatic and lung cancer. Pastor James was Joey's pastor there from 2013-2021, when he retired. I have heard him preach. He is a tender hearted man who centers on Christ and draws people to Him. He took over loving Joey right where Pastor Baker left off. Joey (and his caseworker and everyone) is devastated. Please pray for Calvary Memorial and for Pastor James at this time.

Joey got more information. This is so sudden. Doctors have told this gentle, loving man of God he has two weeks to two months to live. Prayers!
Praying for Pastor James during this difficult time.

The house is quiet now. Empty nesters are used to this feeling after visits. We miss Joey but know his life in an intentional community of disabled Christians is so good for him. The small town life where he can get by without driving, too.
We had a great visit and I am tired but happy. We had some good talks over the two weeks. Joey, like all of us, makes big mistakes sometimes, but he wants to follow Jesus and I see his progressive sanctification is a very real thing. I love that he starts his day by reading God’s Word. I like that he asks deep theological questions. I like that God gave him to us to complete our family!

I am so sorry. I will keep Joey and the Pastor in prayer .
