An Update on Mike (From Rachel)
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness…” (Isa. 61:10 “For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” (Ps. 149:4) On Thursday just […]
Another Cancer Update
Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory (Psalm 73:23–24). Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none […]
Another Boring Cancer Update
I thought I ought to start this post by mentioning a sermon I preached a few weeks ago at trinity Church in Coeur D’Alene. You can find it here. Maybe you should go watch/listen to that before you read further. You should also know that what follows doesn’t change my attitude toward God or my desire […]

Lookin’ Good: Cancer Update
It’s been a while since my last cancer update. Sorry. A week or so my PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) level was down to 1.9. I think this means that the cancer cells are slowing in their growth and slowing their spread. This is, of course, good. Side-effects of the meds continue. I don’t know if they […]
