About 90 days ago, Dr. Varvel and his wonderful wife, Mary Ellen, stopped by our offices for a few days. One of the reasons for the visit was to brainstorm on ways that his office and mine could better serve the NCA chaplains.
In the course of our conversation, I found that Dr. Varvel was suffering from cataracts and had been putting off having surgery. Since my mother had this done several years ago, I was able to encourage him that it was no big deal and to have it done as soon as possible. [There is just too much to do in the Kingdom of God to let something like cataracts slow you down!]
About a month ago, Dr. Varvel kind of fell off the correspondence radar. I had a hunch that he was taking care of his eye problem. I received word this morning that he just had surgery on his second eye and all went well. They are hoping that he will have great vision without the need for glasses (keep this in your prayers) and he should start catching up with his e-mails and letters shortly.
I appreciate the prayers all of you have given for Dr. Varvel and your patience in his unusual delay in responding to your e-mails and letters. Things should be back to normal or even better than normal very shortly!
