"God's object is to encourage faith and to make His children and servants see that they must take trouble to understand and rely upon the unspeakable greatness and omnipotence of God, so that they may take literally and in a childlike spirit this word: "Unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think....be glory throughout all ages."

Thank you for praying for Mike. He is kicking this latest virus and feeling much better. He continues to go to physical therapy three times a week for about 2 1/2 hours, and is feeling stronger each day.

Mike spent a little time in his shop this past weekend. With our son and his family moved into their new home, their five pets have now vacated Mike's shop, and he is looking forward to building things again and reloading ammunition. I really believe this outlet will be great therapy for him.

We continue to seek God's wisdom in the days ahead for us. We are still under Cobra insurance coverage with Goody's at the moment, but things will get tricky for us once that ends. We will have insurance we can get, but it is going to be pricey. We will have to get a policy for Mike and a separate policy for myself. This will require us to pay individual deductibles...twice in one year. Not the greatest situation...but better than no insurance at all. We're grateful God continues to provide for us and we continue to trust Him day by day.

We appreciate all of you so much. We feel blessed to have family and friends who care so deeply, and remind us we're in your thoughts and prayers. The weight of all we're facing can become a little heavy some days, but God has brought so many of you into our lives, to remind us of His faithfulness, and your love and steadfast support lifts our burden. You are such a blessing to us!
