So many people are so angry these days. Such urgency about Earthly concerns, and no effort towards Heavenly pursuits. Creating their own drama so they can feel righteous.

Sophia’s lymph nodes have ballooned in size overnight and she’s running a 103.8 temp. Our Vet gave her an injection to try to help. She has chemo tomorrow morning. Barring a miracle, we’ll be saying goodbye to our littlest girl very soon. That’s the technical part. The part I can’t convey is how good she […]
My body and mind get tired physically, but my spirit is eternal and tireless. What does that mean? It means I might give up for a day, but the renewing of my spirit through Jesus Christ is continual, and carries me beyond my limitations. “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man […]
Sophia Update: We got bad news today. We were told not to expect a remission. After going through several different chemo protocols since February, the Oncologist feels we are on the best one, and this protocol is failing.
