Howard,

I don't post much but consistently browse the PG forums, esp this one.

Although we have of course never met, I too would like to add my sincere best wishes for you in this hour of need. I am very glad that you have found a bunch of real mates here who obviously and genuinely care for you, and will be lifting you up before our heavenly father as you face this heavy time. It is still a minor miracle in my eyes that so many of the forum posters here are men and women of God- I sometimes get the impression that PG products are the Christians audio software, and Peter's comments above do nothing to dispel that impression.
(In fact, I think of the same when I consider the legend of Crown amplification- apparently founded by a guy who wanted to facilitate beach mission preaching. And what a success they have been!)

My unsaved brother in law has just this week been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. And I have just come this evening from spending time, as I do on a Sunday night, with my elderly Dad (he's almost 88). Dad and I always end our evening with a few minutes of prayer for our family. I am going to call him tomorrow and specifically raise your situation so we can pray for you together. I promise to keep doing that.

Do stay in touch with us all. Clearly, your contributions to this forum have earned you the love and respect of this august body of audio and musical achievers. Count me in to that group who want to assist you in any way we can. However, I'm on the other side of the Pacific so dropping by with a casserole might be problematic. But I can at least keep on lifting you up before the Father of Lights.

With every good wish, friend.

John
