The Night After Thanksgiving

 

It is the Friday after Thanksgiving and I hope that each of you that read this had a wonderful day and took the time to thank the Lord for the many things He did for you this past year. For those of you that get my News Letter you will see that I have a lot to thank God for this year, and the one at the top is my successful surgery for cancer, with no medication or further intervention needed!

It has been a very ''special'' two months since I found out that I had to have a mastectomy. After recovery, I went on a tour and came back to Atlanta via Seattle where they had snow! I am now looking forward to staying here in the South until I fly again, again to the west coast but south not north. 
I will begin now to update my blog on the 25th of every month. (That is because I love Christmas in any country I am in!) So, until the 25 of December, I will say goodbye; and remember: thank the Lord for something He did for you today!

I am now in beautiful Washington State! This tour will be over on Sunday so Monday I fly back to Atlanta. It is cool today but I bundled up and walked 2 miles this morning. I feel good and thank the Lord for that.  It is a great time of year and I look forward to being in Georgia at my place for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is nice not to have to fly out on tour again until January 8, 2011. Next Wednesday night will be may last weekly blog. I will then go to a monthly one.

Wednesday night in Minnesota

Many years ago this was the night before my kidney auto transplant surgery which was done at the University of Chicago hospital. I always remember that it as it was on Veterans Day, November 11th.

Tour is going well and I enjoy being back in Minnesota but I do not like the cold here! This week I was at Crown College and spoke at  Chapel. The picture on the right was taken there. Vicky is a roommate from college and was the RN that came to care for me after my surgery. Sue is a good friend from college and has been a missionary in Brazil for years.

My incision looks good and I am sleeping well and trying to rest when I can during the tour. The churches are very good as they know that I need time to rest and give it as needed.

Next week at this time I will be in Washington state before heading back to Georgia. 

A Friday night in Minnesota

I am late in writing on my blog this week. Tonight as I write I am in Minnesota and not Georgia. Last Friday I started on tour again and I praise God that I am able to be on it! It is cold here in the Twin Cites area. I even had to go out and buy some gloves to wear. As for my incision,  it is still somewhat painful but over all it is going very well. 

My last update in this blog will be on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
