Yesterday, I got a call from a dear friend of mine. His name is Brian Hyma, we affectionately refer to him as "Hyma". He is a fellow alumni at Oakland Christian High School, and I worked with him while I was at Olivet Nazarene University. He called me to tell me that he has been diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. He has already undergone some surgery to get the tumor and is awaiting results of tests to see if the cancer had a chance to metasticize to anything in his abdomen. The doctor's feel confident that they were able to get all of the cancer involved with the tumor.
Brian has one of the strongest faiths of anyone I know, and he is confident in the care that Christ will provide. Nonetheless, this is a very difficult time for him and his wife, Melissa. They have been married for only a couple of years, but are a great example to couples everywhere as to what it means to follow Christ. They are on their knees before Gods throne and want others to join them. I am asking that anyone who might read this blog please remember them in your prayers. Thank you on behalf of the Hymas.
I love my wife, my two sons, my family, and my life. I get paid to watch kids play a game that I love. I love being a college basketball coach.
