Dear family and friends,

Nancy and I are truly celebrating at one week into treatment.  I am feeling well, without eye pain or swelling; there is mild nausea but no other significant side effects.  Weakness is tolerable.  Join with me in praying particularly for resolution of the double vision.

Nancy and I met with our pastor, Fred Greco, to discuss both of our funeral plans, obituaries, and the orders of worship.  We look on this as co-ministry with Fred and as the loving thing to do for our daughters. Everyone should consider similar preparations.

II Corinthians 5:1ff says: “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house made not with hands, eternal in the heavens.  For in this tent we groan…”  I was not a Boy Scout; so, my knowledge of tents is limited. But I do know that they do not last forever.  We groan when there is a leak or tear.  We groan when storms batter.  Whether sooner or later, I am ready to change dwellings and explore that “building from God.”
