Chuck Colson in Critical Condition after Surgery (Updated: Family is Gathered with Colson)
Colson showed signs of progress Thursday, officials from Prison Fellowship told CT. He can hear, process information, and do commands given to him. “And that makes all the difference,” his attending physician said. Colson's daughter, Emily, said that when his doctors were visiting on Wednesday, Colson gave them a “thumbs up.” He continues to be listed in critical condition on Thursday afternoon.

Thankful for the impact this man has made in my generation. Well done good and faithful servant. My prayers are with the family right now.

I interviewed Chuck just a year or two back (http://sheridanvoysey.com/watergate-worldview-the-chuck-colson-interview/) . I remember him saying then that he wouldn't be making another trip to Australia, and I wondered why, given that he sounded in such fine form. Alas, even the greats age, making a recovery from health effects like this harder. But, God, we still ask for Chuck's recovery. Thank you for all you've done in and through him. May we have a few more years from him?

This Godly man needs to fully recover and continue his mission! May God be merciful to him, is my prayer for him?
