God Is Healing

We apologize for the lack of posts recently. Due to the stress of every day life, we have not been able to maintain regular posts.

Since the last post, nothing has really changed. Gary just finished his first "round" of chemotherapy-chemo once a week for two weeks and then a week off. The oncologist insisted on platelet shots on his week off because the drugs he is on typically lowers the platelet and white cell count drastically. But God has been faithful to answer yes to your prayers; Gary has done relatively well with the treatment thus far. His only consistent side effects are a low grade fever and fatigue. The doctor told us both are very normal.

Please continue in your prayers for Gary. His oldest daughter likes to describe the prayers we ask for as "knee dirtying prayer". We KNOW God has great plans for Gary in the future; Gary just wants to feel good enough and have sufficient energy to fulfill those plans. He is frustrated with his lack of energy, but He knows God is working it out. We have to simply wait and watch.

One thing we want you to celebrate with Gary is his upcoming 61st birthday! This particular birthday on July 21st is one we are so excited about! We praise God He has given us another year with one of His children on this earth. Please send cards and well wishes! If you do not have Gary's home address, please send cards to FAITH Radio. He will be so happy to hear from all of you!

God is good, and we are grateful for each day together. May God bless you and yours richly today.
