Our weekend was wonderful, filled with lots of water in the lake, lots of boat riding, taking our 18 month old grandson to see Surf's Up was quite an experience, lol!!, and just spending time with the family. However the most important event was we led five young men around 17 yrs of age to Christ. So all in all, I must say we are blessed!

As far as my husband's Prostate Cancer we have decided to go against the radiation treatments and go with Cryotherapy. If you haven't heard of it, here's the link. It basically is more of a non invasive procedure but has been very successful. http://www.radiologyinfo.org/
We had planned to go with the HIFU procedure http://www.internationalhifu.com/, our insurance didn't cover it since it is in clinical trials still in the US. Still we feel it was the best option.

Anyway, I will keep everyone updated, we have appts for consultation on July 12th, then on the 18th. We appreciate your prayers for wisdom and if you have any information send it our way.

Now to the rest of our weekend...we still have three teenagers living with us, two from the boys' home and one from town. I will be posting pictures later this week and they will be sharing their testimonies, so stop by if you get a chance.

God is in control!! Hugs to everyone!!!

Sister Dana,

Some Sharing:

"Behold, I will bring it health & cure, & I will cure them, & I will reveal unto them the abundance of Peace & Truth." Jeremiah 33:6

Sister, declared the words of favors & Blessings as we are the Children of Most High God!

The scripture says, "1 John; 4:17...as He is, so are we in this World."

Does Jesus have Cancer? NO! SO ARE WE in this World!

Is Jesus Poor? NO! SO ARE WE in this World Amen?!

By His stripes, the beating He Bore, by the lashes which fell on Jesus Back, Your Husband is completely healed!!! Amen?!

Keep you in my prayers!

May God pour out His abundant blessings on y'all!

Dana, I suspect you didn't get my e-mail. I sent the drawing more then 2 weeks ago and it should arrive any day now, if it already hasn't. You can get a sneak-peek at my site.

Many blessings on y'all and may your day be filled with joy and happiness.

God's Grace.

Great news! 5 young men give their lives to God! Doesn't get much better eh? And the angels will be dancing!
Have you heard about eating apricot kernels to combat cancer? There are more and more heading down that track here in Oz. Look forward to hearing news following recent appointments.

Deut 7:9 Understand therefore that the Lord your God is the faithful God who for a thousand generations keeps His promises and constantly loves those who love Him and who obey His commands. [How good is that?}

Dana, Please check this out as an addition to your husbands surgery. Read the history of the tea, read the testimonies and just read everything about it.

http://www.essiac-tea-herbal-remedies.com/

My husband had gall bladder surgery early this month and had two small tumors cut off of his liver. The tumors were not cancerous and I think it might have helped because I had him drink the essiac tea for a month before his surgery. I'll pray for you and your husband.

I'm glad you had fun with the grandkids and that you were able to help lead the five teenagers to Christ. (That is a joy in itself.)
