Paul's Story

God spent decades on my dad. When asked why he needed Jesus, he simply responded that he was going the wrong way. God was patient with him. He was going after his soul and he was saved not by anything he said or did, but by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. He died without any fear and is now standing in the presence of the one true God. We will all have to stand before God & give an account for our lives. Thanks to the victory of Jesus through the cross, my dad's sins were forgiven & I will see him again in paradise. Amen! In January 2011 Paul was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. Unfortunately on 3/9/2011 an MRI scan showed that the tumor has spread to his brain and is at stage 4 which is incurable. Paul passed away on April 21, 2011. This blog was meant to keep people updated and informed. The family appreciates all the prayers and support.

Urgent Update

Nick and I took Paul to get an MRI done yesterday before his radiation treatment. The scan shows that the cancer has spread to his brain in two different spots and is now considered stage 4. This would explain why he cannot move the left side of his body very well. The plan is to have 10 treatments of radiation on his brain to shrink the tumors. Unfortunately it is incurable. We will let you know what they decide to do in the long run.
