I wanted to let everyone know that we will be having our family Easter get together on Sat. the 7th at 1:00 for all of you that can come. Bring a dish and your favorite drink as always.

Marleigh sang for the first time on stage at church tonight!!  I am so proud of her :)  She didn't seem a bit bashful about it either.  She sang with Cassie, Abby and Shawn.  They sang Jesus Loves Me then you will see that Marleigh wanted to sing about Zacheus (?)!!  Trish and Danny, we continue to pray for you and you will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow.  Daniel, how is Alice doing?

Everyone check out Cindy's woodworking blog! She does some awesome stuff!
The following letter was in our newpaper this morning, and it made me smile. I thought it might do the same for you.

Dear Annie: I had to smile at the letter from "Road Worrier." When we started to get calls that our 92-year-old father was driving through stop signs and red lights and running into cars in the parking lot, we gave his car keys to his caregiver and said she'd take him where he needed to go.

When he died, I sent his suit to the funeral home. I later got a call saying they found a car key in the pocket. Later, we spoke to Dad's neighbor, who said when the caregiver would go to church on Sundays, my father would come out of the house five minutes later, put his walker in the backseat of the car and drive off. He'd return 15 minutes before the caregiver came back.

We don't know where he went for those four hours, but we're glad nothing happened to him or anyone else. When they started to close his coffin, I put that key back in his pocket and told him, "OK, Dad, now you can drive Mama all over heaven." — L.A.

We are at Amy's. Went to Cleveland clinic today for a second opinion . They said the same thing that UVA did. Chemo first. They also offer a clinical trial for a sarcoma vaccine which he could take part in but not until after he had surgery and it would be 84 weeks long. And of course it would be in Cleveland. Will go to UVA Thursday.

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.
