A tough week.



Dad is half way through this last week of radiation. Mom sent me some pictures of him getting his treatment. I thought you all might like to see these.

Mom said Dad has felt much more tired this week, especially Tuesday. He seemed to be doing a little better today, but still overall, worse this week than the last several weeks. I think Mom and Dad are both a little weary from the last six weeks of going back and forth to Houston and living out of a hotel and suitcase. Please pray for them as they are both physically and mentally exhausted. Satan tends to take advantage of us when we are down. Please pray for protection for them both; spiritual, mental, and physical protection and strength. Pray for encouragement in these last two days in Houston, that the Lord would bring along words from others, divine appointments, and situations that would remind them that He has a purpose in all this, and that He knows and cares about every little detail they are going through. Pray for joy and laughter in the midst of this trial, and a peace that passes all understanding. Thank you for praying, I know that they will be lifted up by you all.

In His Grace, JJ
PS. Please read the comments for those who have been having problems leaving comments yourselves. I think I figured out a way to change the settings so that you can leave a comment without having to sign up with blogger or google. Sorry for the confusion. I had been so busy that I had not taken the time to sit down and try to figure it out until today.

I think I figured out why everyone was having a hard time leaving comments. Please try again, Larry Small, and see if you can do it this time!! Thanks for all your understanding.

When you go to leave a message, just sign your name in your message so we know who it is from. when you choose your identity, select anonymous, and that should make it easy so you don't have to sign up for a blogger account. then just select "publish your comment" Try it and see if it works!! JJ
