135.1

We're tracking the progress against my cancer by a tumor marker, CA 125. Yesterday a nurse called with the good news that Monday's blood test came back at 135.1 You may remember that pre-surgery it was 8,445. Three weeks ago it had dropped to 698.8. We thank the Lord for this evidence that He is answering prayer. (Normal is below 35.)

To no one's surprise, I spent most of yesterday resting and much of it sleeping. I think today will be more of the same.

Yesterday's devotional contained this encouraging word: Almighty God can make us stronger than our circumstances and can turn each situation to our good. In God's strength we can make them all pay tribute to our soul. We can even take the darkest disappointment, break it open, and discover a precious jewel of grace inside.

Today is a gift of grace. Let's be thankful.

Thanks for all your love and prayers.
