UPDATED: Please Take A Moment to Pray

Most of you know that I work for C.C. Edwards Construction Company. It's not a faceless corporation, it is a company that exists because of the unbelievable determination of a man named C.C. Edwards.

C.C. is an incredible visionary, and once he has his vision, he will only accept "no" as an answer after every conceivable, and several inconceivable options have been exhausted. Thoroughly exhausted, in fact. This tenacity has served him very well in life, and I have been so privileged to work with him for the past two years.

Last Friday C.C. took the office out to lunch to celebrate 12 years in business. While there, he told us that his fiancé is pregnant with what they're hoping will be their first girl. (their three boys are pictured above)

Yesterday we had a birthday in the office, and C.C. enjoyed a cupcake along with everyone else. He has hand-picked his staff, and tells us often that he loves the people he works with. It shows. You may remember the Mariners game he treated the whole company to last Spring.

Last night C.C.'s heart stopped beating. He was fortunate to have a friend perform CPR while his fiancé Kristina called 911. When the paramedics arrived, they shocked his chest and rushed him off to the hospital where he still is now. Our office, and I'm sure, the whole company, is in shock. We're praying harder than we would have thought possible, for a quick and complete recovery.

Cindy and I are asking all of you to join us in this prayer. Pray for C.C. Pray for Kristina, who has to be simply terrified with the situation. Pray for their boys.

Please, take a moment to pray.

UPDATE:
We now know that what happened to CC's heart was SCA, or Sudden Cardiac Arrest. This is one of the scariest conditions I've ever read about. 95% of people who get it, die within minutes. CC has already beaten those odds, we need to keep praying that he'll continue down that path.
