Sir Creep 7,011 Posted June 26, 2018 On 11/04/2018 at 12:08, Sir Creep said: A popular name a couple months ago, Luis Palau has God on his side, and tests indicate he is on the mend. "Earlier this year, Vision News reported that evangelist Luis Palau had been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. After two months of therapy for the cancer the doctors were amazed at the results from the recent CT scan and blood work. Doctors reported that all tumours had shrunk by one-third, and blood tests looked good. There were no new tumours and all fluid around the lungs was resolved. The results were so uncommon that Mr Palau said the family is giving glory to God -- but not trusting God 100%, Luis now begins another two months of chemotherapy. SC In the latest 'nothing to see here' installment, the Family Palau asks for continued prayers during continued chemo. HOW EVVAH.... "In a recent interview Andrew said that his father (Luis) feels confident about his place in the afterlife and he is still 'strong as can be.' 'He can't wait to get there in a way, [but] don't count him out yet,' Andrew Palau said. 'Every day is like gold. We got to maximize every day and take advantage and we've done so. Thank the Lord we have no regrets,' he added. Rather strange 'end of life' focus in those comments, imo. I thought Luis was pretty much out of the woods, but now it appears he is sitting in a tree stand. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,019 Posted July 17, 2018 Apparently Father Thomas Keating is currently in hospice care. Should have a decent shot at a QO: he was one of the key proponents of the "centering prayer" movement, a kinda Christian take on meditation that is pretty controversial in some ecclesiastic circles.
