Friday Evening February 2, 2007

GO COLTS!!! GO COLTS!!!!! Is there anything else to say right now? It sure is all that is being said in this area! This town is alive and well for the Colts, you see the Colts color blue all over the place. It is real neat and a very positive thing for this area.

Greetings to all of you!

It has been a good day, praise the Lord! As far as Marty’s situation, there is not a lot to add to the two earlier blogs of today. One thing that did happen is that on her walk this afternoon she did the entire 6th floor like she use to do. Praise the Lord! Up until that time she had only been doing the oncology wing. So, indeed this is another good step in the right direction. It is really interesting, because this morning when we were walking, I was going to suggest that we go to the other part of the floor, but then decided to let her do that on her own. So, it turned out we were on the same page on the same day. Again, praise the Lord!

We did ask Dr. Lee this morning what it is that we have to look forward to in the future. He said when Marty gets out of the hospital he will give her a couple of weeks to rest and gain strength then he will do a bone marrow biopsy (that is done in the office). The results will determine what happens next and it will take a week to get the results back. But, at this point he does not think that the fourth treatment will be necessary. I do believe that is a good thing! Praise the Lord!

Marty’s scripture calendar for yesterday used Proverbs 27:19, which we think is really an awesome verse. It reads: “As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.” Isn’t that awesome? Doesn’t that put the essence of Jesus great commandment and great commission into just a brief thought and sentence? Indeed if God is in our hearts, Jesus will be reflected in our lives. How simple and yet we make it so hard. All that we really have to do is let God in our heart and lives as the first priority and the rest will be an awesome reflection of Jesus. WOW it is so great that God trusts us and uses us, you and me, to be His hands and feet, and to represent Him in all that we say and do. Also, that is certainly a major responsibility for each of us. Praise and thank you Lord for accepting us for this work.

Well, don’t know if you will read this tonight or tomorrow, but whenever and whatever you may be doing, may it be positive and a glorification of our God. God bless!

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
