Some friends invited me to join them for a week of thanksgiving and worship as they pray for a young dad with an aggressive form of cancer. For two evenings I sat at the back painting. This is just a cell phone shot of a quick painting but I’m posting it here as an invitation to pray for Jarrett, and any others you know of with life-threatening illnesses. It’s a painted prayer I call “Dancing Upon Injustice” because there is nothing just about cancer.
Originally I painted a night sky but the band started singing, “Open the floodgates of heaven…” and I started adding waterfalls and eddies and sparkles of light. There is a place where cancer does not exist and we pray that God’s will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. I’ve never seen a worship dancer with army boots, but I think they should be standard issue, so I added those too.
Pray for Jarrett and his family.
Charis: Subject to Change 
Charis – I know that Jesus and Father God dance upon the injustice of cancer. Perhaps some day I’ll be released to share how I know; for now, it is carried in my heart as Living as it was the day I experienced it. And oh ‘yes’! to worship dancers with standard issue army boots. God’s will be done in Jarrett’s life, his whole life, including his family. Amen.

Thank you, Nancy! I want to hear the whole story when you are released. I know you have been through this and your story carries authority. We do not fight from a position fear and one of our weapons is weapons-grade joy.
