Hello to All,
I stole a few minutes to watch part of Cinderella Man a couple of weeks ago. Towards the end of the movie James Braddock drove off to Madison Square Garden to fight the bigger, stronger, younger world champion. His wife fearfully avoided a ringside seat, but walked to her church to pray for his safety. She found a packed house when she arrived – dozens of family and friends had already filled the pews to pray for his safety and victory. Their prayers impacted the outcome of the fight.
Even though I had seen the movie before, I was especially gripped by that scene given our present circumstances. Thank you for the calls, cards, and emails. There are times that we feel like throwing in the towel. Your encouragement keeps us fighting. Thank you for praying for our safety and victory. Your prayers are impacting the outcome of this fight.
Round 2:
Laurie drove Ann back to Houston this afternoon so that Ann can begin her second round of chemo on Thursday morning. I fly down on Saturday and hope to bring Ann back Monday afternoon. She will then be at home for a little over two weeks before the next cycle begins.
Prayer Requests:
- That God would strengthen and heal Ethan and Darla; Chris, Ray, and Linda; Lisa, Nancy, and Judy… each is in their own ring with an overwhelming foe.
- That Ann would respond to this round nearly as well as she did the first one.
- That God would heal Ann so that she can know our grandchildren.
Exodus 17:11-13:
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up-- one on one side, one on the other-- so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Thanks for holding us up in this battle.
In Christ,
Howard & Ann
