At my church, there is a retired priest named Vic who does care ministry in his own church, and fills in for Greg, our regular fellow.

Greg is on holidays, and we are enjoying Vic's rational and warm presence, which is so akin to Greg's.

Today he told us he had been diagnosed with "indolent leukemia". He's been on chemo pills for two weeks and is SO grateful there are no side effects. Since he is in his early 70's, his doc said he would likely die with it, but not OF it.

He has been exhausted since the end of April, when he first started going for tests, etc.

Prayers that he regains some energy and feels better, and that the disease is managed successfully, if not outright cured.

Thank you.
