How is Dave?

....ummmm... errrrrr...ahhhhhhh, I'm going to try this again!!!! Last time I had this post written I lost the whole darn thing to cyberspace...I've been gone a few days trying to find it...but no luck!

Dave is doing so well in some area's, if you are not careful you will miss it. Today his heart was feeling Psalm 13...I sooooo understood, as anyone would, who has been seeking God's face for a long time without an answer. After a long lament the Psalm ends with these two verses;


5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,

for he has been good to me.


Dave is experiencing decreased mobility in his arms/hands. He is finding it difficult to maneuver his wheelchair. This of course, is very frustrating for Dave. It also limits his mobility in a huge way. He does not feel confident to be around crowds and maneuvering into the van has become a very difficult task. The solution is a new wheelchair. The ALS people are working on it, but the wheels turn slowly. Please pray with us...Dave's speech is still good, it takes a little more effort on his part and better listening on our part, but we are so thankful for his voice.

Dave now has a laptop. He would love to hear from you. His answers will be short, but his appreciation deep!






Can I Ask For Help...One more Time ?

This is a little hard to do...we are settling in, but we have lost our momentum. Somewhere between the memories of our past life together as a family and the realization that Dave is not going to walk through the front door at 5:30 for supper we are stuck.

We are so thankful for what God has done in our lives. It's just now and then our hearts are heavier than than the boxes we have to lift...

If anyone could give us a hour or two, to help with some lifting, closet organizing, or hanging pictures. We would so much appreciate it. We can't find any of Dave's tools so we are kind of stuck.

We dream of having a BBQ here this summer to celebrate God's greatness and the goodness of all his people... we just have a few more steps to the finish line...Would you help?
