Life goes on!

I haven't added anything lately because there hasn't been much happening that I thought anyone would be interested.  Since it's been hot and dry, I've tried to play golf earlier in the day (2 or 3 days a week) to beat the heat and I've had little yard work to do - grass is dying or has brown patch - frustrating.

We did participate in some interesting events this past week:

One night a group from Sunday School and others met to pray for our nation - our nation and leaders need your prayers to make decisions in God's will.

Our Calvary community group met at the Butlers for a social and prayer/praise time.

Our Bible Fellowship class met for ice cream social.

Now that I see this in print and remember that I washed windows,  I guess we had a pretty busy week.  I have completed week 3 of this round of 4 weeks of treatment and have felt fine.  I do get a little tired quicker than I'd like and I've gotten a couple mouth sores this weekend.  Thankfully, just one more week!  Then, we spend all day July 7 at Baptist hospital for scans again.  Thank you for continuing to pray that the scans will again show improvement.

Week of praises!

We have a lot to be thankful for:

We returned from a good trip to Ky. celebrating Eli's 4th birthday and visiting with the rest of the family.  I watched Batman on TV with the children and watched NBA finals game with Jackson (Jackson is amazing with his interest in the game and knowledge of players, etc.) and David.   I also got to play golf with David twice (hot weather, fast greens, deep rough).

Chris returned safely from a trip to Equador after an exciting and beneficial learning experience.  As with most mission trips, I think he and his group gained more than he gave.

I've completed week #1 of the fourth round of chemo with no problems with side effects thus far - still drinking pepsi!
