#193 – The Donkeys Among Us, Part 2 of 3

HOW IT WORKSThe prophetic word or insight can come in different ways.

#192 – The Donkeys Among Us, Part 1

THE ODD ONEHey, what’s that jackass doing out there with the sheep? He looks out of place – – more like an intruder than part of the flock. Well, farmers sometimes put a donkey with their sheep because it sees and responds to predators and takes action to protect the sheep. It has “eyes to…

#191 – Update on Elaine, and our 62nd Anniversary

We were blessed with another uneventful .Rituxan infusion. And the doctor was super pleased with the results of the blood work they did before the treatment.

BLESSED NEW YEAR TO YOU! I am confident that God intends 2022 to be our best year ever.

#187 – Spiritual Gastric Lymphoma, Part 2

WORTH FIGHTING FORThe Gospel is glorious. The Church that Jesus established is glorious, but that glory is largely missing today and strongholds (previous post) have much to do with it. So, where are the saints who will pray for the Church? Not just your church but the one down the street that believes a bit…

#186 – Spiritual Gastric Lymphoma, Part 1

Elaine’s gastric lymphoma led to a decreased appetite and thus to her receiving less nutrition, and to a bleeding ulcer and the loss of blood that would carry available nutrition and oxygen throughout her body.

I am so excited to report that Elaine’s IV Infusion went extremely well. God is answering your prayers! They put us in Infusion Room 7, which seemed like a good place to start.
