The pathology report is good!


Psalm 148
Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens!
Praise him from the skies!
Praise him, all his angels!
Praise him, all the armies of heaven!
Praise him, sun and moon!
Praise him, all you twinkling stars!
Praise him, skies above!
Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!
Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,
for he issued his command, and they came into being.
He set them in place forever and ever.
His decree will never be revoked.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
you creatures of the ocean depths,
fire and hail, snow and clouds,[a]
wind and weather that obey him,
mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
wild animals and all livestock,
small scurrying animals and birds,
kings of the earth and all people,
rulers and judges of the earth,
young men and young women,
old men and children.

Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
For his name is very great;
his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
He has made his people strong,
honoring his faithful ones—
the people of Israel who are close to him.

Praise the Lord!


We are so blessed by a God who loves us and hears our prayers. I am so grateful to all of you, who have prayed for me. It is very humbling. I am truly blessed to have so many caring and loving friends and family members.

We heard to day from the doctor's nurse. She said that the report came in and another doctor read the report. The tumor was contained to the kidney. They took several lymph nodes and some surrounding tissue. There was nothing in the nodes or surrounding tissue, so our prayer that all is contained has been answered.

I feel so fortunate to have been through this trial. Many good things have come from this trial. It has been a blessing to go through it step by step and see how God has answered prayers every step of the way. Not knowing his plan, but knowing that He lights the way. (Psalm 119:105-108)

Pleae take a moment to offer a prayer of thanksgiving.

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." — Romans 8:28

With the love of Christ,
Blane & Chris

Blane,
Even though I've learned of your experience late, your sharing of it with gratitude to Christ is most encouraging.
And while I wasn't previously aware of your commitment to Christ, you should no that it isn't at all surprising to me as I've always sensed peace, joy and kindness in you. Nonetheless, it is great to know that we're related in Christ.
May his grace continue to fill your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Blane,
Obviously I can't spell this early in the morning!

"... you should no ..."
???!
should have been:
"... you should know ..."
!

Also, thanks for bringing blogspot.com to my attention. I wasn't aware of it until I came to your site. And, since your site is so appealing, I'm checking blogspot out not only for personal use, but perhaps for use by our church than needs to join the 20th century before the 21st century finishes its first decade!
