Why can't life be EZ?

Because it is not. Today I learned that a great man that I worked with in the Air Force (Colonel Ed Maher) is in the hospital for surgery for a brain tumor. This is a rather sudden diagnosis. His daughter, who we only knew as a newborn, posted the news to FB, tagging her father so his FB friends would see. He has a Glioma Tumor. I pray for him, for strength, for comfort, and for healing. Ed was wonderful to work with and for. He is smart and wise and very human. He is educated about as far as a person can be today, with at least one PhD, and yet he was never arrogant. He is universally respected. He has a loving wife and family and many friends. Ed, be strong.
