When we lived in Pine Bluff and drove an hour to church, there were a few homes that were always open for us on Sundays. We generally stayed in LR all day. Dan and Lynda's was one of those homes. They had four children at the time. We spent many happy hours there and often they would come down and see us too. They moved to NC and then onto Africa and the mission field. I have no idea how long they have been gone because when we are together we just start right up again where we left off with the last visit. When they have been home to the US on furlough they have been able to stay with us and that has been wonderful.
Their oldest son, Ben, who is 20, had a stroke on Friday. He had a heart valve replaced 4 years ago and now it seems that some vegetation (bacteria) has been around the valve and broke off and got to the brain. He is in Africa. They wanted to bring him to the US for surgery but his condition became too unstable. He needs heart surgery again. He is being flown to South Africa now. They hope to do surgery there or at least get him stable.
My heart is heavy. This could be John.
I am glad that God is not surprised by these events. I am glad that He loves Ben even more than his parents do. To God be the Glory
