SPEEDY

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.  John 4:24

I'm sure most say that to worship, is certainly done THIS way,

Each has his own idea and is sure that it's okay,

But here the truth is given, Holy Spirit inspired that's sure,

We must worship in spirit and truth, anything else is obscure.(RP)

Everything has happened so quickly.  The specialist was good. He could not find the growth in his exam of my throat as he felt it. He said the cat scan shows it is lower down, still pushing against trachea and esophagus. Next Thursday I will have an ultrasound biopsy to determine if the mass is benign or otherwise. No matter, the mass must be removed. This will mean surgery at the University of Washington or Virginia Mason Clinic in Seattle. It will be invasive surgery like heart patients when they break through the rib cage to excise the mass. Dr. Stackhouse said if it were his dad in my position, he would have this surgery done. We are pleased and rest in Him. I will announce when surgery is when I know it.  Dr. examined my throat with a special scope and said the voice box is okay. I am glad, because I use it in speaking all the time. But my voice is husky and not as strong as before. Thank you all for praying.
