Prayer Request for Gary and Cindy Hogan, Watford City, ND

Gary is serving in Iraq while his young wife is fighting cancer here.

THIS COUPLE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS. PLEASE read this. IT MUST BE TERRIBLY
DIFFICULT TO BE IN IRAQ WITH A SICK WIFE AT HOME.

Bobby S. Briggs, MSgt, USAF

Flight Sergeant

BAGHDAD AB, IRAQ

My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me some do not.

My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with
stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim.

She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3
months, and now we know why.

This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you know asking
for prayer.  The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better.
Pray and forward.  It only takes a second to hit "forward". Please do it and
don't delete this, your prayer can and perhaps will save her life. Please
pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy, removal of
all cancer in her body so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to
continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5-year-old son, Michael. The
power of Prayer is unsurpassed and I want the whole world to have her in
their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our cry.  Please do not be
offended by my plea. This is only a request for your help. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our
request for healing!  No words can express the power we have when we each do
a little to come together.

Regards,

Cindy's in-love husband! - Gary

Thank you, and please send it to the far reaches of our world.

The prayer request is nice, but this is an outdated and edited e-mail that is now basically untrue. FYI.

I almost did not send this at the risk of breeding cynicism, but I have received this email before quite some time ago. I suspect that its re-occurrence (with its modifications Hogan not Hogman, and becoming a soldier) are meant to restir patriotism for our soldiers.

There is a terrific Christian-run site called www.truthorfiction.com that ought be in everybodys bookmark list. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/c/cindyhogman.htm
