It wasn't such a good night, or morning so far. Steve's pain is intense, and he's nauseated. About 4 this morning, he took an extra pain pill. That helped some with the pain for a while. But, he hates taking so much medication. If he tries to read or have a conversation, he zombies out, or gets sleepy. He hates that. It's very frustrating.
Please join me in praying for his comfort, but also for him mentally. It is so hard to not be able to concentrate on the things that usually bring him joy.
Pray, pray, pray for him.

About Me
- Steve Warren
- Just a servant of the Lord, relying on His grace to be obedient. Husband of Sheri, father of Charlie (17) and Andy (12).
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Steve and Sheri,
Todd and I have been on vacation since 7/19 and just got in last night. We are, of course, shocked at the news. Todd is trying to get in touch with Rick to see what we can do to help. I want to offer my services as a home care physical therapist to you. You may want to discuss it with the hospice nurse. If exercise is not appropriate right now, there may be tips I can offer in terms of mobility and equipment. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Steve and Sherei,
I immediately went to my knees and prayed for your pain to be relieved. That will be my focus for today. I'm sorry I disturbed you earlier when I called. I should have read the blog first. Tommy and I are in constant prayer for your healing. We know 2 people in Abilene who have been winning their battle with cancer by using alternative methods after being told there were no medical treatments. Both of them were diagnosed 8 to 10 years ago and are cancer free! Keep trying everything that comes your way! We love you and I hope to talk to you soon. Love, Tami
Steve and Sheri,
I cannot even begin to understand how difficult this must be. We are standing in the gap praying James 1:2-4. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. And...praise God that He has given us a promise in 1 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. What He asks of you He will also enable you.
When I worked in OB_GYN office, we used to tell pregnant women to drink ginger tea or eat ginger snaps for nausea. You might try it. I've also heard that licorice is good, too.
Love you all,
Dawn
Tim Pace shared your blog with us even though you have never met us. Know that our prayers are with you and your family. Our prayer is not only for healing and a relief to your physical pain, but also that God will hold you in His mighty hand close to His heart that you might feel his love, presence, and comfort in your life. Know that you have touched our lives deeply, and through your trial, you have touched our hearts.

We are praying for you in Erick, OK. Have added you to a number of prayer lists. Stacey has to go back to Fort Bragg for a month. He called this afternoon to get your email address. Granny would always recite the 23rd Psalm when she was extremely ill. It seemed to give her peace. I think of Andy singing Amazing Grace & that gives me comfort. Will keep the prayer chains going. Love U, Aunt Doris
Hi Steve and Sheri!
I will also specially focus today on praying that Steve`s can feel better physically. I feel very sad to know that he is in too much pain.
I pray the Lord that he continue giving you the strenght you need on this time and that Steve doesn`t loose that good sense of humor that is part of him. In the name of Jesus I ask you to please stay strong because the good time is about to come!
We love you very much and have you in our hearts and thoughts everyday.
Phil 4:13
Dearest Steve and Sheri,
We just returned from New Orleans and read our emails. My heart is heavy for both of you and this trial that you are having to endure. I'm amazed and encouraged by your steadfast faithfulness to our Lord. We will continue to lift you up in prayer. Please know that we love all of you and your family and will be praying without ceasing.
Love, Charlotte Moreau for the family

You are both an inspiration to us all. Your faith is HUGE. Hang in there, and don't hesitate to medicate because you need it.
Talked to the folks this week, and the family will be praying from Fredericksburg; they let Emma know too. I put more pics out there if you did not get the email. Love ya,

Dear Steve & Sheri,
We are each sustaned each day in a different way and in a different measure according to our individual need that only our Father can completely know and understand. I am praying today for the pain to subside, and that Steve will be able to be his happy self once more.
I wanted you both to know that I have read and prayed continuouly since all this began for Steve, for Sheri, for Andy, for mama June and father Don, for friends, for God's grace to be poured out to all of us, that God will carry the two of you together as you walk this difficult path, for God's protection against spiritual attacks, and especially for complete healing of this cancer. I will not stop or let up in the sending up prayers to the Father until victory is complete and our requests can then turn into praises.
My heart has grieved many days now for all of us, but the Father is sustaining me, and my faith still holds though this His strength. We are weak, but he is strong. I know that you both are holding tight to God's promises, as I am also.
With faith we can move mountains, and although sometimes the darkest hour may overshadow us all, the dawn is just before us. Please hold on to your faith, hope and love. I know that I am expecting great miricles still to come.
I was so moved by June's sweet words about Steve. I could not have given a better description of how Steve makes everyone around him feel with his smile.
I feel so lucky to have had so many great memories with such a wonderful friend for so many years. I love to tell the stories about all the funny times. My husband has been enjoying several new ones that have been brought back to my mind now in these recent days.
I found Sheri's words on Sat. post a huge inspiration to me. We are all on the mission field. I am too, but on my computer right here where I sit. I never had a clue that God would work things this way. He is full of surprises.
Here are a few passages for today that I hope you will find comforting and encouraging:
(Heb 10:23)
(Psalm 34: 17-22)
(Matt17:20)
(Eph 6:10-18)
How great is our God!
(sing with me)
