A place where friends and family can come and get an update on Jim and Gloria. A place to share pictures, laughs, wisdom, prayers, gripes and probably a few tears, too.

Peripherial Neuropathy
Please cotinue to pray for Jim. His hands and feet are numb from the chemo. He has lost another 15 pounds, and has loss so much strength. My stomach is in my throat from how he looks. Oh my dear poor husband.
KEEP PRAYING HARD.....

For my birthday, I was given a book that is a collection of Mother Theresa's writings (such a beautiful soul)...I just read this quote from her and thought of you, Mrs. B:
"I wonder at His great humility and my smallness - nothingness. - I believe - this is where Jesus & I meet. - He is everything to me - and I - His own little one - so helpless - so empty - so small."
It's exactly what I needed to read. Everyone I know is off having fun or fellowship. My friend Karen is off on a family vacation, and we missed another family wedding. I feel all alone and scared....and helpless....and empty...and small. And yet I am His own little one. There is that. The best thing in the world, even if I can't taste, touch or feel it. I think Jim feels about the same. It helps to be reminded that we all feel these feelings in life. And to not be so afraid of them, and the most important thing that we often can't feel, HIM, well, it doesn't really matter. Truth is truth. Feelings are just, well, feelings.
Wow, I keep messing up. I forgot to type half a sentence there.
So....as I was thinking...."and the most important thing that we often can't feel, HIM, well, that's all that really matters in the end. And that's the truth...
sorry, but the mind isn't working real fast in the heat.

Thanks Jess.
