Endless thanks for those praying for my Dad.  This begins his 3rd week (out of 7) of chemo and radiation.  Side effects haven't been too severe yet and he is in good spirits. Will you continue praying with us?

(He's living this out in front of all who are near him:)


Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Lord, blessed be Your name

  1. Dad's are a precious gift. Praying for success of the chemo to do it's terrible job, praying for God to be glorified even in this difficult time for you-
