Update on our friends, Mary & Dave

As of the most recent conversation with Mary, Dave's pain was under control at a bearable level and he was home.  Losing his hair from the chemo, but considering everything, that seems to be the least of his worries.

Before Dave was discharged from the hospital, Mary attended our SS class cookout the Saturday preceeding the 4th of July festivities.  I actually caught some video of her running in and out of the sprinkler.  For those of us who know Mary, it's very difficult to catch her on camera at any time, so I know she was having a great time.

Please continue to pray for Dave.  I believe he has a good team handling his treatment and trust that God will help Dave get through this.  He is one of the most positive followers of Christ I know.

Dave, when you are well enough to meet with us again... I look forward to returning the favor of treating you to lunch and allowing you to talk while I eat!  I'm still working on listening more and talking less, but I have to admit that is a very bad habit that I have to break.  I'm waiting on my "buddy" to hold me accountable!

Please send up prayers for Dave & Mary (Froese) Whittaker

Mary called and could not talk for a long period because she was waiting for a call about Dave's pain. 

Since they have a multitude of friends across the country, I suppose we should not overwhelm them with phone calls right now.

Just pray for relief of Dave's pain and comfort for Mary.
