Thursday 2nd Addition

Jim Walley heard from his surgeon yesterday:   no cancer found in his lungs!   Praise God!
He is to go him back tomorrow to get the stitches removed and is still in a great deal of pain from the surgery.  The doctors say his recovery will be from 4- 6 weeks.
Frances Gay‘s shingles are making themselves known in a mighty way.   The pain increases instead of decreasing; the rash is spreading.  Pray for Fran.

and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly,

and let us run with determination the race that lies before us.”
