I am starting back on chemo treatments today after 4 1/2 years. It will be the same medication and we are hoping it will be as effective as the last time in reversing the effect of abnormalities in my bone marrow. Nancy and I will appreciate your prayers today and over the next few months as we face this new chapter in our lives. We also want to thank our Lord for the many relatively symptom free years since my diagnosis. Praise the Lord!

My grandson, Everett (7) asked the question; “will I go to heaven (or something of that nature). He is not presently being taken to Sunday school; I was at a loss for a meaningful answer and simply responded that it was a difficult question for me. I did have the opportunity to speak with his Mom (our daughter-in-law) later in the day. I mentioned to her that Everett could be told Heaven is where a great treasure is (a store house of all good). He is wise to want this “good”!
I know my comments were inadequate. Everett needs to know that trusting in Jesus is the only way!
I think that most effectively would come from his parents.

Our friend, Omar, was diagnosed with Covid not quite a week ago. Today, he was put on a ventilator. He is in his 40s and totally healthy before this. He "should" be in the category of people who get it and it no more than a bad cold. Unfortunately, the virus doesn't care what it "should" do. He is the sole provider for his family. They moved here from India several years ago and became full US citizens just a few months ago. Please pray for a full recovery for Omar and his family. His daughter, Ziva, also had covid but appears to be recovered. Shemin, the mom, and Zuhayr, big brother, have not gotten the virus yet. Zuhayr suffered a major stroke about 4 years ago. He is a junior in high school now. I'm rather sure it would be very serious if he gets it since he was not able to fully recover from the stroke he had. Please lift this whole family in prayer.

Speaking of Hurricane Sally, there is a young man, Brad, who has been working on some steel screens for my yard (he does amazing work!). In the design process we have gotten to know each other and because he is a young man he feels a bit like a son. He wrote me on Wednesday to apologize (like he needed too) because his business had been destroyed by Sally. All the doors had been blown in, his equipment had been damaged, and he had no electricity but, in spite of that, he reached out to me. He said my order would be delayed. He apologized profusely. I told him no worries and that I would pray for him - so I am and I am hoping others will as well. Thanks.
