Where To Begin

First, John is still recovering from surgery but trying to do more each day. His folks have been keeping him company during the day and helping out here and there with some projects. They will be getting on the road next Tuesday for a few days in Indiana with family and then on to California. It has been so nice to have them visit!

We need your prayer because chemo begins tomorrow (10-16). I'm fairly concerned because frankly, I just don't think John is healed enough to tolerate the ravaging affects of chemo very well. It just really kicks your tail and his tail is still dragging the ground most of the time. We're trusting the Lord to help us through this. I had my pre-chemo breakdown last night. It would be so nice to have one more week to do a few things before John feels miserable and I feel like my husband has temporarily checked out. He won't finish until the end of January so we have a long stretch ahead.

Friday is our 26th wedding anniversary. Last year, we spent it nursing our son back from a fairly bad auto accident. This year it will be looking for some level of comfort for John. Although we'd rather be doing something else, we're very thankful to be together, no matter the circumstances.

I've been reading in Daniel lately and have felt like I had several good things to share, but once again, the last few days have been a bit of a struggle. Still, what a fascinating book it is about the end times. I will close with this message to Daniel 10:18 Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning. ¹⁹ “Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!”
