Update from Clay and Cindy Cruse:
Our family is asking for prayers. As many of you know in 2004 Cindy was diagnosed with stage 4, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (a slow growing type of cancer). This cancer is not curable but treatable, which means if it grows treatment will help but not take it completely away. Recently Cindy had tests done for some problems with swelling in her leg. The results have come back and show a tumor above the knee that may involve the bone. There are also ingual nodes (lymph nodes in the crease of her leg) that are enlarged and growing and incasing some vessels. A blood clot was also discovered and will be treated with daily shots of blood thinners. The oncologist has scheduled an appointment with a surgical oncologist for next week to discuss surgery as soon as possible. At this point the tumor maybe an aggressive transformation of the lymphoma or a sarcoma (which would be another type of cancer altogether). There is no way to know until both areas are removed and sent to pathology for results. Needless to say we are overwhelmed right now. Please, please take time and pray for us. God has a plan that is so much larger than we can see or understand and we desperately need an extra measure of his peace right now. We love you all and thank you for your faithfulness to Him and to our family!

Wow, my heart is full of so much as I read this. I am grateful God has revealed Himself to you and Clay in so many ways these last years. I am grateful you have seen God's healing powers in Clay's recent health crisis. I still though feel some fear in the unknown and will bring you before our loving Father often in the days and weeks ahead. For you and your husband, for your boys and the many who love you, dear Cindy, I will be praying. Love you my friend and sister!
You are a woman of strength and dignity. My prayers are for peace and the liquid love of your heavenly Father to pour down into your heart. May health and wholeness come in Jesus name.
