The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever. Psalm 121:5-8

We enjoyed a full house for Thanksgiving and had a great time of praise and fellowship.
Please pray for Cindy's continued progress and manageable side effects of treatment.

Cindy has had some side effects from her latest round of chemo.
Overall she is handling this treatment well.
We spent the last four days in Banff, Canada and enjoyed some of the most beautiful country in the world.
We should have some indications within the next few weeks as to this treatments effectiveness.

Pray for Cindy's continued progress as we prepare for the holidays.

For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

Cindy completed her current chemo therapy last Monday.
She underwent a PET scan which revealed that the current treatments were not reaching thier intended effectiveness.
The doctor has determined a new therapy which she will begin this week. It contains a series of three agents which are intended to impact the disease adversely.
Please pray for Cindy and our family as we continue to trust in our Lord for strength and provision.

Psalm 97:11-12
Light shines on the godly,
and joy on those whose hearts are right.
May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord
and praise his Holy name!

Teach me your ways, O Lord,

Grant me a pure heart,
so that I may honor you.

Cindy completed her second chemo treatment.
Praise the Lord that the side effects have been minimal thus far.
It will still be a few weeks before we can test for measureable positive results.
We are going to NYC next week for some shows and shopping.
Thanks for everybody's continued concern for the family.

Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
But God remains the stregth of my heart;
he is mine forever.
Psalm 73:25,26

Cindy's most recent PET scan revealed a new occurrence in her liver.
Her treatment options now require her to start a new chemo drug next week.
This drug will be given once a week for the next month or so.
If her side effects are manageable and the drug is effective in nuetralizing the disease then she can continue this course of treatment for the foreseeable future.

But each day the Lord pours his unfailling love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. Psalm 42:8
