Prayers Needed

I have an incredible uncle.
He is known to millions of others as their Bishop.
He is amazing and peaceful and all things good about the world.

And because God often works in very mysterious ways, he is holding on for dear life to his own life tonight.
I'm leaving his name out of this because this hasn't hit the news yet and I'm not posting it to break news... I'm posting it because I'm scared and devastated and hurting.
I'm hurting because I am 3000 miles away.
I'm hurting because the first flight I could get to Florida doesn't get me in until 4pm tomorrow.
I'm hurting because it's hard for me to fathom that a man who has devoted his life to helping others and doing so much good for the world could possibly not make it through the night.
I'm praying the doctor's are wrong.
I'm praying that God will pull him through this.
Because he's too young to go.
And he's got too much left to do.

I'm flying out first thing tomorrow.
I'm believing that being surrounded by your family truly gives strength to someone who needs strength so badly.

Reunions like this are never good.
But my family is strong.
We will all be together tomorrow.
We'll pray together.
We'll give him strength.
Family is everything.
