Welcome to "Hope Does Not Disappoint"


There are two key reasons I have finally decided to join the world of blogging:

First, my cancer has become active and there is a loving congregation and many family & friends who want to keep track of what is taking place. This provides a way for me to update them as often and with as much detail as they desire.

Second, the Lord often links Scripture with circumstances in life for a much more potent 1 - 2 punch. I have already found that to be true and I hope to share some of those lessons for those who are interested.

So almost every entry in this blog will have two parts to it: Body (what's happening physically with the treatments) and Spirit (what God is sharing as I open His Word).

Thanks for visiting. I hope some of the "Points Along The Road" in my journey are helpful and encouraging to you.

Calling Out the Prayer Warriors!!

Body: Since my entry on Tuesday, I've been gaining strength and feeling so much better. I was able to work a full day yesterday and would have today except for my appointment at Yale for blood work.

The blood work revealed that my white counts are very low (I now have an "LL" next to my white count number...which is not good) and my red counts are getting there (still just one "L"). With the travel and funeral this weekend, the staff is very concerned about infection and went through the "drill" with me several times and from several angles.

Would you please pray that I am able to travel safely to and from Wisconsin; spend time with the extended family appropriately; and minister at the funeral of my father-in-law?

Yale staff still believe I'll be OK for chemo next week, which would be my heart's desire.

Spirit: Just want you to know that I am enjoying a peace that passes understanding. The Lord is good!

    Dave and Andrea,

    Praying God's compassion and mercy that your heart's desires are met to minister at Dad Landru's service. Bill and I join you in prayer that all goes well and that you will be able to return well and continue your chemo.

    We love you so....................much and appreciate who you are in Christ!!
