Psalm 40
I waited patiently for the
Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a
horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise
to our God; Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord
Blessed is that man who makes
the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many O Lord my God, are Your wonderful
works which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of
them, they are more than can be numbered.
For many years Jeff has battled with his health. In August of 2006 he was diagnosed with cancer - stage-4
lymphoma w / spleen omegli and was given a very tough prognosis - less than six weeks to live. Chemo therapy was a risky, but vital choice. After
several cycles of chemo therapy (Rituxin/CHOP), he came down with a neupogenic fever and ended up in the hospital with a very
critically low white blood cell count. After two weeks, six blood infusions
and "gallons" of IV antibiotics, he was able to leave the hospital and continue treatment at home.
Jeff is now in complete remission from cancer!
I am very humbled... so many people have fought the same battles, and
many of them I have known lost these battles. I am very greatful
for my doctor and oncology staff, but I am especially grateful to God for His Grace and Mercy.” JRS
Our latest edition is "Rosie".
She is a greyhound, a retired racer/brood that we adopted. She is just as sweet as can
be! She even "smiles"! At first it looks like she's snarling, but when she wags her tail and puts her head in
your lap, well...
| Here she is - happy and grinning! |

This is "ROSIE" during her racing days...
as you can see, it brought out her wild side!
(ha!)
She still does her morning sprints, doing her best to turn our backyard into a racetrack... she needs to keep up
her girlie figure!
Oh and by the way,
We also love big dogs, horses, parrots, ferrets,
and even armadillos! (ha!)
