God is Good

I am so thrilled to report that the oncologist called today with the final pathology report on John's liver and the initial negative report stands - there is NO cancer in the liver! Of course, we had totally claimed that!

John is pretty pooped. I did some driving for him this morning so he could do a little work and then we popped into the oncologist's office for a quick finger stick to check his numbers, as we wanted to be sure he would be prepared to get what is supposed to be his final chemo this Thursday. If his numbers had been low, they could have given him some type of injection to boost him up, but everything looks good so we should be all set! I think that perhaps the biopsy just took more out of him than we anticipated.

The church we attend does about 99% rock and roll worship music. While we have gotten accustomed to this and enjoy it, we still miss our old hymns so here is my gift to you today.

If you want to sing along, here is a great recording.

On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
