Ugh...what would we do without the Lord

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

I almost hate to blog anymore, it seems each time is another "dark storm" that we are weathering. But the good thing is that somehow we get through it, maybe a little worn out for the battle, but still standing.

On Sunday John was in pain, it was unclear what was hurting but we decided we needed to try to see what was going on. So we took him to the emergency room. After a plethora of tests it was determined he had some pneumonia in his lungs and fluid on his pancreas. We never figured out why the fluid, but antibiotics have seemed to solve most of the problem. Finally got John home today, so 4 days in the hospital. Not a fun week, but we praise God for good hospitals, for good treatment and for John feeling better.

His recovery is very slow and has been set back a bit with this incident. But it rests with the Lord.

On another note, for your prayers, we learned also that although all the scans of Chris's legs and pelvis look good, the abnormal "whatever" in his lungs has shown back up again. This has been something that comes and goes, and last time we saw the mighty hand of God completely eliminate it. So we are not going to believe anything but the truth of God's healing of Chris. However the doctor want to do a biopsy next week to just make sure nothing is going on. So please pray with us in this, God's work is already done and that everything will confirm that in Chris's body.

Thanks so much for all the prayers and love.

Dear Dawn & family. Heard today about John.I feel as if I have lost someone in our closet family. We often talk about the times spent in fellowship with your family and will never forget how John always had a good joke before he preached. We have some photos of the good times and we will always remember you and will be praying especially for Chris.Andrew (my son) and I will be going to the memorial service next Wednesday. Unfortunately Joe and Gavin are in the UK, but I know that they also loved John very much. Take care Lots of love
