I got this in my email this morning:

Hi Nathan, I’ve got a prayer request for you guys.
 
Last weekend dad went into the hospital with sever abdominal cramps and was diagnosed with colon cancer. They performed one surgery to releave the pressure, and are scheduled to go in and remove the cancer and part of the colon tomorrow. This is serious, invasive surgery with plenty of room for complications.
 
Your prayers and believing for a complication free surgery and speedy recovery are much appreciated.
 
Love,
 
-Francis

PS: Feel free to pass this on to anyone you are inspired to

Please keep Fracis and his dad in your prayers.

Love you all,
Nathan
