Dear Friends and Family,

We stand in awe at the incredible outpouring of love and prayers on Cliff's behalf over the past week. Just to update those of you new to our situation, Cliff has been diagnosed with a tumor in his chest. He is scheduled to have a biopsy on Tuesday, January 6th, to determine a more exact diagnosis. We appreciate your continued prayers and support. Our trust is in the Great Physician. He is Able!
A precious friend reminded me that the "waters" in life will come. That is, the difficulties we all face will come. The waters may rise, but they will not go over your nose.
"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...Do not be afraid for I am with you." (Isaiah 43:1-3,5)

We'll keep you updated as we recieve more information on Tuesday. Thanks again, Beth
