Happy New Year to everybody. Wishing you a blessed healthy New Year. Today was a little bit of a downday. Energy was down and I am experiencing the first sores both in my mouth, lips and nose. The nose is numb so at least I cannot feel them there I am very grateful for that. I finished 2 full weeks out of 6. The remainder of the weeks will be 5 day weeks so no more short weeks. Annie the Lady I have shared about got her graduation papers several days early. Yeah. This week I was blessed again by so many ways. Mike and Chuck took me each to treatments which allowed Kathy some time off. In addition Chuck and Lorie had us over for Dinner on Kathy's Birthday instead of bringing Dinner and we exchanged gifts and they had a homemade from scratch Birthday cake for Kathy. And Thanks to all of you who called and wished her well on her big day. Yesterday was a great day also. It seems that the steroids I get with Chemo provide a boost that last the next day. I vacuumed the home, cleaned cars walked the dog went to the store and we went to a Ruff New Years get together, Thanks Lois Ann. Please remember her as her treatments will start on Thursdays. My dads youngest sister called to share her wishes and I got communicaton from 2 cousins from Germany all praying for me. Tonight we went to church and I was reminded on all the relationships He has been restoring recently in our lives and the way His Church is helping us out. Today the phone calls to bring cheer, The people to bring food and the visitors that make a not so great day managable. Tonights message was on the persisitence of Christ how he pursues, loves and comforts and most of all wants a personal relationship with each one of us. Not the be religious but to have a relationship with each one of us. His promises are not just for when we are dead but for now and here. What a perfect reminder. Again I am very grateful for all your prayers and support. I know I am repeating but Thanks seems so inadequate but its all I can say. Jurgen
