Pray for the Kennedys

It was revealed yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor; the prognosis of which is not good.

For the record, I am not a fan of Senator Kennedy. His leftist politics, whether overspending on our public schools, trashing the Armed Forces, and his teaming up with Senator Amnesty John McCain in an attempt to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens are not in our best national interest. His personal life has also been one of disgrace. One need only remember the Chappaquiddick Incident where, after driving a car off a bridge, Senator Kennedy waited till the next day to call authorities. The accident resulted in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Even more sinister is that evidence exists Ms. Kopechne survived some time on an air bubble. Had Senator Kennedy called authorities that night, she may have survived.

But, I have also seen first hand the affects of brain cancer. My mother was diagnosed in May of 2005 and went to be with the Lord November 21st that same year. Between May and September, she lost her ability to walk and had trouble speaking. Her left had (she was left handed) could not move, and by the time of her death, she was completely bedridden. I can honestly say, politics aside, I do not wish this on ANYBODY. Whether you agree with Senator Kennedy or not, keep him and his family in your prayers.

I pray for healing but most importantly, I pray Senator Kennedy comes to a saving faith in Christ and gets right with the Lord.

The Kennedy family will have many challenges in the days and weeks to come.
