Henry Update
Bebe Reese sent us an update regarding Henry’s tests yesterday. This is what she said:
More news, we guess. Today at Mayo was interesting. The short of it is that Henry needs to finish this cycle of chemo, go back to his pulmonologist for re-evaluation and another lung function test, and have an updated PT/CT scan. At this point, probably the middle of March, we will probably confer with Mayo again to determine if he is a candidate for transplant. If he is, the stem cells will come from his own blood. We understand that this is a very rigorous, 4 month long commitment, with a four week hospitalization period. Help us pray for wisdom and peace. The long of it is that the reality of the situation is almost overwhelming – with so many ifs. As one of the oncologists said, “It is not for the faint-hearted.” Once again, we thank you for your thoughts and prayers and we cherish your love and friendship. Bebe

Oaks of Righteousness
In Bible Study this morning, Fr. Ed read this poem:
Oaks of Righteousness
by Ralph I. Tilley
“They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.”
–Isaiah 61:3 (NIV)In the midst of moral confusion,
Surrounded by darkness and despair,
God has planted His servants,
Who breathe in Heaven’s air.With roots reaching deeply into God:
His holiness, mercy, truth and love;
Each moment they are nourished
On nutrients from above.Having weathered many storms and droughts,
More than once appearing far weaker;
What would have killed lesser souls
Only makes these much stronger.With their arms ever-stretching upward,
And faces gazing into the light;
They taste the dews each morning,
Drinking in the Spirit’s might.While many others lie on the ground,
Casualties to the flesh and shame;
These stalwarts have stood the test of time,
Protected through Jesus’ name.They are the Lord’s own chosen planting,
Displaying His splendor all around;
“Oaks of Righteousness,” He says—
May their number, Lord, abound.Copyright © 2010 by Life in the Spirit Ministries
