Weekend Slog readers may have noted that The Prayer Warrior, Ken Hutcherson, seems to have cancer. If you missed that development, the relevant e-mail, as well as an in-the-comments debate over how one should feel (and respond), is well worth checking out.

Today brings a new Prayer Warrior update, which I'm sure will add fuel to the theory that all of this is just a made up ploy for sympathy—and, perhaps, for donations. Myself, I'm still out of the country, I still haven't received a reply to the e-mail I sent Hutcherson inquiring about his health, and so, for now, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt and wishing him well.

Thank you all so much for praying. I spent more than three hours with the doctors yesterday and even though my numbers keep going up, I am doing much better than they expected so we will put off chemo for the time being and try a new medicine. Please pray that I stay healthy for the next 30 days until this new medicine becomes available.

PS Please pray for my time on the Rush Limbaugh show this coming Friday at 11:00 am Pacific time.
