My second confession of the week is that I am a techie-moron.  I thought you should be able to comment on 'friends' comments - but find I cannot, so I want to just say thank you all - and believe me your love and prayers are felt and I cannot say properly what that means.  God has been very real to us and we feel Him touching us in the midst of this storm - and that touch usually comes from *others* (community again).

We have some wonderful friends who are rallying around us and keep us laughing, keep us focused on the fight ahead and keep us under His wings.  More than anything I want Malachi 4:2 - "the son of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings".  Our kids have been awesome.  Kristi and Cal have crafted a "nest" for me in their extra room to crash in between treatments.  My workplace has been good to me. 

The two men that prayed over me last night took away my pain - this skeptic cannot explain it nor do I try to......I have walked into this knowing that #1 I do not want this; #2 I do not want to blame God; and #3 nor do I want to whine and say "why me" when I know the Bible well enough to know that God loved some people a lot who suffered some pretty horrible things.  I don't want it, but am running to Him with it and hiding in His robe.  Plus, He has given me a husband who is Jesus to me here on earth.
