Sweet Conscious Communion

Yes, I believe our family has been drawn closer to Him and to each other through Bethany's cancer. We are totally dependant on the Lord for His merciful healing touch. Bethany had her sixth out of thirty-three radiation treatments and started her new chemotherapy last Friday that will last one year. All that on top of starting her new job last week and starting to run again, not to mention getting back to her busy social life. That's Bethany! Please pray with us that all the cancer will be totally destroyed.

Joey and Christy ask prayer for all the paperwork they need to finish during Boot Camp and are thankful their sickness didn't last too long. Baby Claire continues to charm everyone with her sweet personality and friendly "Hey!".

When I came home from school today, this was on my pillow: "Perhaps His purpose is simply to draw us close to Himself in conscious communion with Him; for it is often the case, as all saints know, that fellowship with the Father and the Son is most vivid and sweet, and Christian joy is greatest when the cross is heaviest." J.I. Packer
