Hi friends,

I know it’s been a few days since my last blog and I appreciate your faithfulness in checking in.  I can only imagine the occasional feelings of; “Really?  He can’t take a minute and tell me how to pray for them, or at least give me something?”

Ha ha ha, don’t worry…I am not conceited enough to think that you can’t function without a word from me but I do value your thoughts and prayers.  Here’s what’s going on.  Patty’s dad had his last weekly chemo treatment this past Friday.  The oncologist is very pleased with his progress and wants to go to a maintenance plan now of one injection every 2 weeks.  We are hopeful that we will see a difference in his weight battles as a result of  the new plan.  He’s been a virtual “yo-yo” with mostly going up.  Every now and then he will show a pound or two loss but that’s rare.  We’ve got a limit in our minds that, if reached, we will go to another step.  We certainly don’t want to experience the high weight gain and difficulties that accompanied it anytime soon.  He didn’t feel quite as good today but seems a bit better tonight.

We plan on spending a little time with friends tomorrow before getting focused on the upcoming road trip.  We will load up on Wednesday and pull out Thursday for a revival meeting in Paragould, AR.  We plan on stopping by Yazoo City to get an eye to eye meeting with the folks, spending the night then heading on up to AR on Friday.

I’ll try and be in touch to keep you up on things.  Friday and Saturday night of the revival will be targeting kids and families then Sunday more along of church wide.

Blessings,
John
