Luke Charton

Handling Misadventure.... the sermon this week was about "Handling Misadventure" in whatever form it is thrown at you. Misadventure comes when we least expect it and can often send us on an uncharted course, but what JOY to know that ultimately God will conquer! Whether in this life, or beyond... whether we see the seeds that are planted or not... we must have faith that God is in control and face each difficult circumstance with confidence. So this leads me to Luke Charton. Many of you in Roane County know the Charton family: Pete, Sylvia, Ross, Katie, and Kristi. Recently, they discovered that Ross's 7 year old little boy has a brain tumor. Their misadventure came very suddenly, literally one day changed the course of their journey in an enourmous way! The doctors have not given much good news thus far and little Luke is starting an experimental treatment this week. The Charton family immediately turned to the "great physician" and their many friends and family seeking prayer for a miracle. Please join us in praying for this family. They have established a blog at caringbridge.com and there is a link to it on my sidebar under "Luke Charton". Regardless of the outcome, God has already done a great work in Luke's life and he is confident that God and the doctors will try to make him better. What great understanding and faith for a child!
