Myles will have surgery on Tuesday to have another port implanted. We are destroying his veins with too many needlesticks. It's been a hard decision to make especially with it being "our choice". All in all, Myles, Aaron, Tuyet and I have all agreed it is the right/best decision. With much consultation with the surgeon, he is going to put the port near his shoulder blade and shoulder. He feels that this position is the best considering that buggies is going to be in high school (won't get bumped so much). The only down side to this placement is the extened pain for healing. Wow, Myles in more pain, what a concept! You could cut off both my legs if I could take his pain from him. The recovery time could be as long as two weeks but hopefully this will be better for him in the long run. His surgery is at 9 am and he will remain in the hospital for the night (if all is good). I pray that it all goes well and his pain level after surgery is tolerable.
Love to all,
Sherry

Abounding Grace
Monday, June 30, 2008
“The more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God’s abounding grace.”
Romans 5:20 TLB
To abound is to have a surplus, an abundance, and extravagant portion. Should the fish in the Pacific worry that it will run out ocean? No. Why? Because the ocean abounds with water. Need the lark to be anxious about finding room in the sky to fly? No. The sky abounds with space.
Should the Christian worry that the cup of mercy will run empty? He may. For he may not be aware of God’s abounding grace. Are you? Are you aware that the cup God gives you overflows with mercy? Or are you afraid your cup will run dry? Your warranty will expire? Are you afraid your mistakes are too great for God’s grace?...
God is not a miser with his grace. Your cup may be low on cash or clout, but it is overflowing with mercy.
Hope all goes well today, much love and lots and lots of prayers are on your way!!!

Spiritual Water
Tuesday, July 01, 2008
“The water I give will become a spring of water gushing inside…giving eternal life.”
John 4:13
Deprive your body of necessary fluid, and your body will tell you.
Deprive your soul of spiritual water, and you soul will tell you. Dehydrated hearts send desperate messages. Snarling tempers. Waves of worry. Growling mastodons of guilt and fear. You think God wants you to live with these? Hopelessness. Sleeplessness. Loneliness. Resentment. Irritability. Insecurity. These are warnings. Symptoms of dryness deep within.
Treat your soul as you treat your thirst. Take a gulp. Imbibe moisture. Flood your heart with a good swallow of water. Where do you find water for the soul? “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.”
Will pray all will go wel today!! Much love and continued prayers to all!! Aunt k8

The Time Line of History
Wednesday, July 02, 2008
“He sent me to preach the Good news…so that the cross of Christ would not lose its power.”
I Corinthians 1:17
The cross…rests on the time line of history like a compelling diamond. Its tragedy summons all sufferers. Its absurdity attracts all cynics. Its hope lures all searchers…
History has idolized it and despised it, gold-plated it and burned it, worn and trashed it. History has done everything but ignore it.
That’s the one option that the cross does not offer.
No one can ignore it! You can’t ignore a piece of lumber that suspends the greatest claim in history. A crucified carpenter claiming that he is God on earth? Divine? Eternal? The death-slayer?...
To accept or reject Christ without a careful examination of Calvary is like deciding on a care without looking at the engine. Being religious without knowing the cross is like owning a Mercedes with no motor. Pretty package, but where is your power?
Hey Myles, Hope you're recovering well. Much love and continued prayers to all! Aunt k8
