NEED PRAYER!

O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. PSALM 30:2

I was given chemo even though my platlet count was 93. I will have another chemo treatment on the 15th of June. If my platelet count continues to drop it will keep me from staying on schedule. If you would please pray for me, I know if enough people pray God will answer by raising my platelet count. Other then that I feel pretty strong, I am having a pain around my spleen area, and I think it is growing again, which causes my platelet count to drop. Angelia and I got to visit a church in Nacogdoches, we are tying to find a church that meets our spiritual needs while we are here. We are still looking at moving Angelia to houston when God says the time is right. I am planning on making a job in central Texas on Tuesday. I pray all is good with you and your family, God bless!

“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1st JOHN 3:1

How is God treating everyone today? I hope he is blessing you and your family. I am getting chemo today, even though my platelet count is 93. I have been feeling pretty strong these last few weeks and have been able to go on jobs. I did two jobs over the Memorial day weekend, on Sunday I cooked Hamburgers, that Angelia had gotten for me, the guys on the job were really appreciative of the jesture. I just wanted everyone to at least have some enjoyment while working the holiday weekend. I have been really busy at work, and Angelia and I look forward to spending as much time together as possible. I pray this finds you health and in good spirit, thank the Lord for all he has bestowed upon us, God bless you and your families and friends.

CHEMO UPDATE!

"Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span." EXODUS 23:25-26

Here I am again going through another chemo treatment. This one should be my 6th treatment in this round of chemo. I am feeling real strong and I have some energy, it was nice taking an extra week between treatments, last week Angelia and I went on vacation. We were blessed to be able to visit with my parents in hill country, and our son Jimmy came and surprised his mother for mothers day. We then went to Lake Summerville State Park and spent 5 days fishing having fires and just relaxing. We caught some catfish and perch, enough for a fish fry Thurday night. Saturday Angelia had to be in Nacogdoches for graduation at the collage, SFA had there largest graduating class ever. We were blessed to be able to attend church in Katy, we look forward to sunday school and the sermon. I hope everyone is doing well, and God is blessing you and your families. I love you all and God bless!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD!

He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
MATTHEW 18:2-4

Emma Spencer is my first great niece, making me an excited great uncle. Isn't she beautiful [looks like me :-)]. I have been very busy lately, it seems like there's not enough time in the day. My company bought some new caliper tools from another company, so I need to learn how to run them, and process the information. I got results from my catscan yesterday, my tumors are staying the same size, which excited the doctor. I figure no change means I am not getting sicker. Angelia has been working for 2 and a half years on a project, for the college to start using a new software package. The college went live with the new software last week, and it appears except for a few minor problems, everything went well. Angelia and I are going on vacation the week of May 10th, we are going camping, we will meet up with Mom and Dad north of San Antonio for a couple days and then spend the rest of the week being together and fishing. I pray this update finds you happy and content, God bless and have a great week!

HAPPY EASTER!

HE DIED FOR YOU, WILL YOU LIVE FOR HIM!

I SERVE THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD, HE DEFEATED THE GRAVE, THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE THROUGH HIM!

I am doing pretty well. The lower back x-ray came back negative for cancer or any other problems. I may try a chiropractor to get relief. It has been a hectic time for Angelia and I, it seems like our jobs are monopolizing most of our time. I will be getting another CATSCAN in late April, I have had 3 chemo treatments and my platelet count has been good to keep me on a treatment every two weeks schedule. We decided to purchase another vehicle, and found one in Houston on the internet. We picked up our 05 PT cruiser convertable Friday afternoon, and spent the day Saturday cruising the back roads to Beaumont, TX, to visit a friend that Angelia used to work for. We were honored to attend a service at her church Saturday night, where her preacher, did a demonstration of the original last supper/passover meal. It was very interesting, to learn what the Jewish people did to celebrate there release from bondage. It was a blessing from God for Angelia and I to spend the entire weekend with out having to do work. It was the first time since our honeyoon, we had been this free to enjoy each others company. May god bless you and keep you safe!

FAMILY UPDATE!

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. ROMANS 3:21-31

It has been a trying week, for Angelia's family. Mrs. Doris, Angelia's mother had broke her knee and dislocated her sholder, the operations went fine, but laying still in the hospial, she got pneumonia. The doctor decided to move her to a rehab center, so they could get Doris back on her feet, however her O2 saturation dropped to 75 and she was having a hard time breathing. She was moved back to the hospital yesterday, and admitted into ICU and given medication for the pneumonia. I would like for everyone to please say a prayer for Mrs. Doris and her family. Angelia's sister has been taking care of her mom and also looking after her mother-in-law. God has called her Mother-in-law home to be with Jesus, please add her family in your prayers to give the family comfort, during this time. I am doing well, except for the backache that has been bothering me, I am going to continue taking Advil to help ease the discomfort, until I get a chance to talk to my doctor in two weeks. It is getting close to spring, flowers are starting to bloom, and my camera batteries are charged and ready to go. I hope everyone is having a great week, God bless you and yours!

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. JOB 23:10

I am doing better, I have been at work for a week now, and I am feeling a little stronger each day. The only physical problem I have is an ache in my lower back I have had since Sept last year, it is getting troublesome. I did a job in south Texas Saturday and have been processing logs almost every day. My mother-in-law fell last Thursday night and dislocated her sholder and broke a knee cap. She came out of the knee surgery fine, and is still in the hospital. She may need to be in a recovery/rehab where she will have constent attention, due to the fact she will not be able to do for herself. God will always test us, but he will not give us more then we can handle. Praise be to God and all who believe in the Son! God bless you and yours!
