"Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:14-16).

Health Update FOR LINDA SCHUBERT, SPEAKER AND AUTHOR
In mid June 2010 I was scheduled for a number of tests to address digestive issues. Through an upper endoscopy I was diagnosed with what is called mantle cell lymphoma. There is apparently an aggressive type and a sub group that is slow growing. I am thankfully in the sub group according to a PET scan recently done. This means wait and see, with no chemotherapy. In any event, I have cancelled all future travel in order to stay close to home and take care of my health. Many people from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, throughout Europe and the USA and more, have prayed for me. I am so grateful. I would be so grateful if you would put the word out to them to pray for me. Love and prayers, Linda
