A former night guard was diagnosed with AIDS today.  He actually had the test a couple of months ago, but hid the truth.  Finally a friend convinced him to go for another test.  He would accompany him.  And so they did and the results are in.  It's active AIDS.  He has lost a lot of weight and he is coughing.  They started him on the anti-viral meds without any further testing.  But he has to have a battery of tests before his next appointment next month.  They will adjust things as necessary.  

But our mutual friend has told him that they will address the physical problem first and then work on the spiritual.  He wants to bring him to church.  We are all hoping that this will be what it takes for him to get serious with our Lord.  Then it will be worth it all.
