“I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier….But not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.”

- Babe Ruth

to express how deeply moved I’ve been by all of your responses to my request for your prayers and all of the messages that have filled my inbox.  Thank you so incredibly much for your thoughts, your encouragement, but mostly for your prayers.  Please continue to lift my dad & I up if we happen to cross your mind in the upcoming days.  Surgery is tentatively set for August 9. And, please know that I appreciate each of you.

If you are reading this post right now, I have a favor to ask of you.  PLEASE pray that God will heal my dad.  Yesterday, he was diagnosed with a high-grade, infiltrating, glioma brain tumor.  He is going to the Ohio State Medical Center for testing on Monday.  Please pray that God, the ultimate healer, will work a miracle & allow my dad to continue living the normal life he has always lived.  I have faith that this can happen & your prayers would be DEEPLY appreciated as my family & I struggle through this.  On top of that, I’m taking the bar exam in 10 days & am supposed to be studying 12 hours a day between now & then.  Your prayers that I pass are also appreciated & coveted.  I know that I don’t know any of you…but maybe you feel a bit of a connection to me by seeing the things I things I have posted, listening to the songs I like, & reading the words I have written over the past 5 years.  If all 6,000+ of you said a prayer right now for Jim Wiles, it would mean more to me than I can express.  Thank you & here is to optimism! :)
