Hello everybody. This week my white counts must be down, because although I felt decent Mon & Tues, yesterday and today I've been pretty weak. Hard to sleep at night when you do nothing during the day. My body isn't ready to sleep because I haven't exhausted it, and sleeping pills don't help anymore. Seems like I've developed restless leg syndrome because I can't keep my legs still when trying to go to sleep. But this too will pass. Looking forward to CT scan Monday, and hearing the results Wed. Thanks for your prayers.

Sunday evening and I'm starting to feel human again. This chemo stuff will flat kick your hiney. But that's OK, my son handled it and he's my inspiration right now. I'm grateful for all of you that are praying for me. Whether God uses the poison, or touches me or however He chooses to heal me, you will know you had a part in my miracle. I know a lot of you are praying also for my family. Thank you again. I know Brandon got his toughness from Janell. She's bearing this load by the prayers you pray for her. God bless each one of you
Well, chemo again tomorrow, so we will probably make it to church tomorrow night, and Thursday will start my downhill slide. Should get a scan in about 4 weeks (treatment number 5 in two weeks). Then we'll see what God's been up to. Thanks to everyone praying for our family during this. Nice story in this last Sundays paper about Alpine Street by Mike Oliver (you can read it on bhamnews@al.com I t...hink. That was the street Garrett & Jenn lived on. Yeah three years.
Last night Janell and I left the house about 10:15 when the 2nd storm in south Tuscaloosa started the same path toward Concord and Hueytown. We drove and eventually wound up in the parking lot of the school in Helena, where we sat and listened to James Spann reporting. When he stated the storm had passed Oak Grove and was heading behind Concord and headed direct path for Hueytown, I just prayed, "God, Janell and I can't handle anything else happening right now. Please keep that tornado away from our house." And 5 minutes later James stated the tornado that was headed for Hueytown had evidently left the ground and gone back up. I cried. There is NO DOUBT in my mind God heard and answered that prayer. I pray He answers my other prayers the same way.

I would like to thank the sweet folks at Clements Rd Baptist. We had an awesome service, the Spirit moved in some hearts and we are so humbled to be asked to share our journey. Chemo is this week, and gout has me by the left leg again. I do not like this senior citizen hater. I can't help it if I'm good looking and a slimmed down 240 lbs. Won't be long till I can show my grandson my abs. He doesn't believe me when I say they're hidden under my extra skin.?????
Tomorrow morning I will be privileged to be speaking at Clements Rd. Baptist Church in Cottondale at 11:00 AM. It is the 3 year anniversary of the tornado That took so many lifes and caused such destruction. Please pray for me, that I will deliver the message God wants them to hear. Chemo on Wed of this week and I need prayers that I can do the Sunday morning service of the 4th. Thanks.
