Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

Tonight's excitement

Psalm 13:5 "But I trust in your unfailing love my heart rejoices in your salvation.  I will sing to the Lord for He has been good to me."

Today we began to get concerned that we hadn't had any response from Dad in over 24 hours. The doctors decided they should try changing the type of sedation and also do some tests to figure out why he hasn't been responding. Then, right before they took Dad in for the tests, he started to open his eyes again. After they finished the tests, the nurse called us to quickly come to the room. As soon as we got there, we saw that his eyes were open, and he was watching us. We asked him questions, and he squeezed our hands in response. He even raised his eyebrows to answer a few of our questions! We are so excited about this since its a good sign that his brain is still functioning normally. Praise God! Thanks for praying!

John
