Trish and Danny, I will fast for you as well.
Amen Ruth, Believe every word. and have faith to see through the storm.
Danny, Trish and Family: Keep saying what God says. Faith comes by hearing. So you want your faith to be in what God says, not in what Satan says (the negative). If you slip up and say the negative, ask God to forgive you and go right back to confessing His Word. If your confession sounds hollow at first, do not worry. Keep doing it because the more your ears hear you say God's Word, the more your faith rises up. And the greater your faith, the stronger your confession. It is a circle that keeps spiraling upward. I have been getting words about faith and confession from many different sources lately, so I know God is trying to impress upon me the importance of our words. I am convinced that they are the most powerful things in the universe. After all, that is how God created everything he created - by speaking. And that is how, I believe, that we create our world.

It may be a fact that Danny has cancer, but it is not THE TRUTH. God's Word is the TRUTH, and TRUTH trumps fact.

I have been fasting for three days, and was supposed to go off this morning, but I will be fasting and praying throughout the day today, and you will be in my prayers. I just got an e-mail that David and Julie are fasting and praying also.

I love all of you.

Well we didn't get a good report today. He has a new tumor in his left lung which is opposite where he had surgery. He said it is very aggressive and is already an inch and a half big. Not sure the plan yet. He goes next week for a PET scan and see the surgeon. The oncologist is leaning more towards chemo first and see if it responds. It will be a different kind of chemo this time.

Continue to remember him in prayer.
Monica, We loved the videos of Marleigh.  She is so cute and we loved her laugh.  I loved all the pics.  My those kids are growing.

Snow

Boy that was some beautiful snow! It has been wet here in MI. Just wanted to check in with everyone. Alice I hope you are having more good days than bad. We are praying for you and Danny that God continues to hold you in His healing hands. Dad is doing pretty good but he misses his roommate Larry a lot. We are doing okay. Vonda is learning to play the clarinet and Vesta is taking swim lessons for now. I am just working and trying to stay afloat. We miss you all and wish we were closer to everyone. I hope you all feel the good Lord's blessings today.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!  We finally got snow!!!!!!!!!!  It has been such a beautiful day today watching the snow fall all day.  It started around 10 this morning and still going at it.  It's not as heavy as earlier.  I think the biggest part of it fell while Marleigh was napping today.  When she got up we went to Nina and Pawpaw's for spaghetti so we haven't had a chance to go sledding yet.  I'm hoping it will hang around long enough so we can go in the morning.  Adam said there were spin outs all over the place on his way home this evening.  He made it safely home though :)  Mom and Dad made it home safe as well.  They went to TN for the weekend.  I think they brought the snow in with them this morning.  They said it was 67 degrees and people were everywhere down there and enjoying all the amusement rides.  I would like to be on an amusement ride right now....the bob-sled LOL!!!!  Teresa, I loved the pics that Kelsey had done.  They are beautiful :)  Daniel, how is Alice doing?  Danny, sorry we couldn't make it yesterday.  I know you had a good time though.  Post some pics :)  I expect to see some pics of winter weather from others.  Love to all
