Good Morning Everyone,
I hope that the fall is starting out great for you. Linda and I spent last week up at our cabin in Cascade. It was so nice being up in the mountains. It's really hard to come home, but there are things that have to be done here in the valley, so home we came.

As I stated in my last update we have been working on reducing the pain levels brought on by the tumors behind my ear and on my 6th rib on my back. Well just when I think we are doing pretty good, back comes the pain. I have been given a pain patch to wear on my arm for 72 hours. I called the doctor last Friday and asked if we could up the dose of the patches. I am going in today to pick up a prescription for a much stronger patch. My pain was very high on Saturday and Saturday night. It almost impossible to get any sleep or rest with so much pain. Please pray that we can get this pain under control.

Please continue to lift Linda and I up in prayer. I know that prayer is keeping me going and I really appreciate all of you praying for us.

God bless you and keep on looking up.

"Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on the things above where Christ sets at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you have died, and your life is hidden in Christ with God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you will also appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4
