Hello Everyone,
Not much to update you on right now. I was able to get my treatment this week. My blood counts were at 4.2 or 4200 and that is high enough to get the chemo junk.
The biggest news this week is that Linda brought home a 2 1/2 year old black lab. She thought that I needed some company and something to do while I wasn't working. She is a good dog with lots of energy. She loves to ride in the car or pickup. Here are some pictures I took.



Well that's about all for now. I hope everyone will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of family, food, and fun. Keep up those wonderful prayers for Linda and I. There are many days where it is easy to get down. Thank you all for praying.
God Bless

Hello everyone,

Linda and I are at the cabin in Cascade sitting in front of a nice big roaring fire. The sun is shining but it is still not above 40 degrees outside. We were hoping to get our chimney cleaned while we were here but for different reasons that didn't happen (yet). We will be coming home on Wednesday night because I have a vitamin C IV on Thursday afternoon, and Linda has some other obligations on Thursday. It's always nice to get out of the valley for a few days, it refreshes the spirit. Since Linda can work from up here it makes it really nice to come during the week.

I hope everyone is doing well. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I hope you will take some time to reflect on things as well as counting your many thanksgivings (blessings). God is so good, He is my rock and I thank Him for the many blessings in my life (this includes all of you who are continuing to pray for Linda and I). We love you all.

God Bless

Time to Update the blog

Hi all,
I was able to receive chemo treatment yesterday. My blood counts were plenty high enough which was great news. Nothing much to report there, everything went as planned. It does take most of the day which means just sitting around waiting to get done. I have found that its just to hard to read a book with all the noise and things going on around you. I pretty much have resorted to doing word puzzles, this seems to make the time pass a little faster.

I will try and get in for a vitamin C IV next week at Optimal Health Medical Institute in Boise. I am still doing several other alternative things to help out also.

I guess that's about it for now. God bless all of you who are continuing to pray for Linda and I.
I know with out these prayers going up things would not be going as good as they are.

Thank You Again

The One True God of Creation

"The Christian faith is, thus not merely one religion among many. It is the true revelation of the one true God of creation, the record of His provision of forgiveness and salvation. All human religions betray their humanistic origin by their humanly attainable standards, whereas God's way of salvation is by His grace, received only by faith. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done. bu according to his mercy he saved us....That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life".

The Bible, the true Word of God, gives the only account of the creation of the universe. then reports the only resurrection from the dead, and finally uniquely reveals God's grace in providing salvation by faith apart form works, recognizing the impossibility of attaining God's perfect standard by human effort. The Lord Jesus Christ, our creator and Redeemer, gives eternal life to all who trust their souls to Him."
