I just want to thank everyone again for all of the prayers, thoughts, encouragement, and well wishes of the last few weeks during Lisa's health situation. Never before have we felt Jesus' love the way we have these past few weeks. Thank you.

Today, as cancer was confirmed and she had her thyroid removed, things really really hit me hard. This is real and it's not good. Even though we rest comfortably in God's arms and even though we find great hope in what the doctors say, this is not good. It's not where we wanted to be right now.

But, you know, life is that way sometimes. And God is here just as He always has been. He loves us and He will be with us.

I know that, for me, there are lessons to be learned from this. Life is precious. My family is precious. Other things need to take more of a back seat more often.

Yes, we go forward knowing that Lisa's health is more fragile and always will be that way. There are things to be learned now and things to watch out for in the future. But God will always hold us ... and hopefully we will have learned more how to live fully in His blessings, His mercy, and His hope.

Thank you all again.
