500 Prayers
A little boy in AJ's class at our church has just been diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. I can't even imagine what his family is going through.
His name is Luke. He likes the things a normal almost-7-year-old would like: riding his bike, doing sports, playing with his friends, building with Legos, playing PS2. He is artistic and loves to sing worship songs.
He's just a little boy, and he has leukemia. He's been in the Excellent Children's Hospital (the same one Baby E goes to for her specialists) for a couple of weeks already, and they're expecting him to be there for another 6 weeks or so.
A friend of the family shared this story about what he said when someone asked little Luke what he would like:
The prayers are being collected at a blog called 500 Prayers for Luke. There are plans to make a poster with the names of all the people who are praying for Luke.
I know we can get 500.
I'm praying for his complete healing, and for his family (especially Luke, his parents and his two siblings) during the process of chemotherapy, hospitalization, and treatments.

A friend of the family shared this story about what he said when someone asked little Luke what he would like:
He replied with two answers. He said that he wanted "100....no 500 prayers." Then he said that "before he left the hospital he wanted a needle so that he could give every doctor a shot." Well, I don't think there's much we can do about the shots, but we can give him 500 prayers.
