Caring for a treasured gift

Before God placed humans on earth, He prepared it as a many-splendored home for us, beautiful beyond what language can describe. Today is Earth Day in the U.S., maybe everywhere. I hope we'll remember to say thanks, in addition to caring for this treasure. Maybe if we were more grateful, we'd tend it better.

A dear friend from Michigan was in Augusta, GA, last weekend for the Masters Tournament (golf) when he suffered a heart attack. He's at a renowned cardiac center now, scheduled for a new valve and at least a double bypass today. Please join us in praying for his complete recovery. Thanks.

I've surely felt confused about the failure of Cisplatin and my galloping tumor marker numbers. I felt better about it when my cousin told me she had prayed that if God knew that the Cisplatin wasn't really going to make a significant improvement, He would make it very clear so I wouldn't go through another treatment. Well, I guess a 72% rise in the tumor marker count was very clear. So I accept it as an answer to her prayers, and I thank her and all the rest who are now praying for wisdom for the next steps. I'll post a short report this afternoon for those who are waiting to learn what the doctor says this morning.

It's wonderful to feel so well. It's been great having Sue here. She needs to go to the airport directly from the doctor's office.

Blessings for your day,
Carol
