We continue to pray for you both – While many of us cannot begin to understand or comprehend what you have gone through these past 4 years, we do know that the Lord does, and so we trust that He will continue to be faithful to His promises and care for you in the days and weeks ahead.

Peace…

Jonathan & Dawn

I am still reeling over that sighting on wednesday. It was a glow in the dark throbbing neon blue spot in the green green ocean that sanctuary becomes – amazing.

You are just wonderful to share artichokes with as well.

Take care on this Saturday

Love Heidi

In the days when we shared a house with Grandma Rothe, she said at one point, “Why has God left me on this earth so long, I want to go home.” At 20 I had no answer, but when the Lord did call her home, I was 30 with at least one answer to that question. Whether that was His purpose or not, she stood as an example to my mostly unchurched self; patience, humor in the face of her infirmities, unquestioning faith, and some days simply endurance.
You are just such an example to many, willingly or not, and we thank God for you.

I discovered your blog tonight as I researched Vidaza vs. Decitabine treatments for my very young 83 year old father who has just been diagnosed with AML.

I am so grateful to you for your detailed blog! Not only is it beautiful with all the great pictures and stories, it is incredibly valuable to someone like me, trying to learn about the disease and treatments and not knowing what to expect for my Dad.

I wish you well and hope that things miraculously improve for you. We have researched stem cell therapy with Dr. Slavin in Tel Aviv, and are excited about what he is accomplishing there for a fraction of the cost of that care in the US. Plus, he is working with the elderly with great success. We may decide to go there if need be.

I hope that your faith helps you find peace with all that you’ve been forced to endure. Please take good care and keep up the great writing. You’re a huge help to those of us just beginning this fight. Thank you!

The best respite is prayer. We don’t know God’s ways…(I’ll bet you’ve heard that over and over…) but we know His great and boundless love for you – amid everything. It is wonderful that music will help sustain you and carry the beautiful words of faith in your mind as again you struggle.
Love, prayers, and hugs to you from Michigan!
Irene
