Sunday Morning, July 20

Steve had a pretty good night. It looks like we've found the right pain medicine to keep him comfortable. He got a relatively good night's sleep. The meds are making him very dizzy, though, and he's sleeping now.

We were SO encouraged to hear the report about the prayer meeting yesterday. Sounds like it was very God-centered. Praise Him! We are also encouraged about some of the alternative methods being researched.

Steve had some dreams last night that left him with the impression the Enemy has a big target on him. I don't just mean the cancer. It's because of the good things that are happening around us because of his cancer. So, as you pray, please remember to lift us up against the spiritual attacks that are eminent.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12) Please pray for us to be fully armored.

Praise Him from Whom all blessings flow!

"Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."
II Corinthians 1:9-11

Steve and Sheri, Thank you for keeping us up to date during this time that's probably so surreal. I can only imagine how you have had to switch gears, on many levels, during these past days and weeks. You're right about one thing, Our lord is a Faithful God and He is our constant in everything. You and your families are in my prayers and you know how to reach me if you need anything. In the loving arms of our Lord, Levada

Thanks so much for putting this together. I check in frequently. I know what my sister went thru with her daughter recently, that so many people who care to know what is going on can be a burden to keep track of all the calls. Thank you because we feel better knowing how you are doing, and not anxiously wondering. Please let us know if we can help. Love ya. Toby

Steve and Sheri,

Thanks for creating the blog to keep us all updated as we all understand your need for less calls and e-mails. This way we can keep up without being a burden.

We were devastated at the news and are praying without ceasing for your family.

PLEASE let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do.

God Bless,
Chad and Vickie Lloyd
