Please Pray for Becky Linskey battling with cancer------------------- Dear Friends, Please put us on the prayer list, thank you. Just yesterday at MD Anderson (San Antonio) we learned that Becky's melanoma has metastasized and they do not know where it is in her body. This will be her third battle with melanoma. ------------------ I am writing on Becky's behalf. Tomorrow an emergency MRI brain scan at 8:00 am (Central Time). Pray specifically that God will get her through this scan and that it will not damage her already very sensitive hearing. Suddenly Becky has lost almost 90 % of her vision in her left eye. Her health is declining very quickly and even walking by herself is getting difficult. I will most likely have to give up my job to take care of Becky. Our medical appointments are 78-90 miles one-way, sometimes going two times a week. Please pray for our family. We are in very deep waters and Jesus is in the boat. In Jesus' Mighty Hands, James L. Linskey Ps.115:1
