greetings

Just a quick note to ask for your prayers for Dan. Today he is having a bone scan since he has had hip pain for awhile now. In 2 weeks he will be having an upper GI to check for an ulcer related to the radioactive bead implant of June. Married life for him and Ashley is going well. They are busy students so they are anticipating a wonderful vacation time just being together more at Christmas break. He loves his NFL Network internship- it's football after all. We are out of town for a week so I may not get back to you with any results until after our return. Bob and I are looking forward to some R & R! Love to you all and many thanks for your prayers.

Thanks for all your prayers

Just a note of thanks to all of you who have been so faithful to pray for Dan over these past 15 months.

As I was organizing my "art room" this afternoon, I came across a notebook I made of several cards we received last June when Dan was initially diagnosed. What a blessing it was to read them and remember the love and faithfulness of the prayer army assembled for Dan. And the faithfulness of our Lord Jesus to answer those pleas on his behalf!

Last night Bob and I went to the movies and saw a pastor from a church in town who reminded me that his church is still praying for Dan and was delighted with all the good news of Dan and Ashley's marriage and the good report from Stanford in September.

Dan starts an internship tomorrow with the NFL Network in LA - another answered prayer for him. (Did I mention he loves football?:)

Our LORD God has great plans for each one of us. We may walk down paths not of our choosing. We may make wrong choices as we walk this journey called life. And yes, there will be suffering, just because we live in a fallen world. But through it all He promises to be with us and to use everything we go through to conform us to the image of Jesus if we surrender our will, our life, ourselves to Him . And nothing can separate us from His love.
meditate on Romans 8:28-39
bless you
