You've also heard about John Piper's recent fight with cancer.  Well, here's another one of my moder-day heroes that we need to pray for.  Life is a vapor... even for godly men.  I can guarantee that the pain sets their sights only more sweetly upon the reality of their nearness to death and their nearness to their Master's glorious presence.  I can guarantee it.  This news update comes from R. Albert Mohler's website.

Please pray for Dr. Mohler

Dr. Mohler's health has sustained a setback. Over the past 36 hours Dr. Mohler has suffered from unrelenting pain. This unusual degree of pain signaled concern for the attending physicians and prompted additional tests this afternoon. In the past hour these tests have revealed that Dr. Mohler is suffering from pulmonary emboli in both lungs. His condition is quite serious and he has been moved to the intensive care unit of Baptist East Hospital in Louisville, KY for immediate treatment.

Please make this a matter of urgent prayer. Thank you once again for your concern and support during these days.
