Light Day Today

Meet w/ Surgeon at 11:00, & w/ anesthesiologist @ 12:45.

That's it. Easy, but hugely significant day. Your prayers are welcome and greatly appreciated, even on a not-so-intense day as today.

Sometimes--like now--the clock moves slooooooooooowly. Tom Petty said it best: "the waiting is the hardest part..." *smile*

I do have this sense though, that while not much is happening visibly, much is happening behind the scenes. Thanks so much for your continued intercession for us! We're still doing well, mostly. Relatively decent night's sleep for both of us; Lisa woke up paying bills a time or two, & I woke up with bizarre thoughts of teaching & coaching football. (I teach now, & have coached FB before as an asst. coach...) No idea what the dreams mean, as I can't even spell psychology...

With love and hope,
Mike - 2 Cor 4:7-8, 16-18

p.s. - in our continuing quest to bring you all the latest academic research, Lisa & I will be checking out this breakfast place nearby shortly that features kolaches & breakfast pastries. As a scholar-wannabe, it's important to examine such things. (plus, I like to eat good breakfast food...) Not sure how I can list that research on my resume, but I'm sure there's a way...*grin*

Hanging out with J in the hospital and praying for you both. Hoping that all is going as well as it can go. Know that we'll have you covered up completely before, during, and after your surgery tomorrow. Press on!

Hi Mike! Glad today has been a light one for you. Hope that the food has been good and that y'all made the movie. Know that we will certainly be praying for tomorrow's events....the surgery, the outcome, your quick recovery, etc. We love y'all and look forward to great news...

I am having to retype this since i haven't signed up before. So i will edit it down. Glad your trip went well, jealous of the fine food you two are consuming. Not so much of a culinary delite here in Manila. Lets just say i hate rice now. Saw Indiana Jones here with the smallest large coke and popcorn you ever laid your eyes on. Glad your traveling is going well and the truck is helping. Make sure you use the card anywhere you want (though neiman's would probably make Margie mad at me). Got a nail gun and air compressor now so ready for the 8 year deck project or whatever we need to do. Hang in there, enjoy the good drugs and see you when you get home.
