August 25 Day +40

II Cor. 1:3-7 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort." We were saddened to learn that Becky's friend from Glendale Christian Church passed away early this afternoon. Please pray for his family as they deal with his loss. Although he will be missed, he has claimed the victory!

We have had problems all day with the computer so I hope this blog will get sent this evening. I'm not sure if it was human error on Jessica or my part or if the server was having problems. It finally started working about 5 this evening after the cable company did some kind of signal to our box.

We went to the exercise room this morning and Becky walked on the treadmill at 2.0 and went 11 minutes or .35 mile. That was the most she's done yet. We even walked down the stairs to get to the room too. She's doing better!!! Jessica was walking on the other treadmill until she walked right out of her shoe! It was actually a flip flop but we all got so tickled she had to stop walking. Barb did 2.5 miles on the bicycle. I"m not sure that we'll have time to do it tomorrow with the appointments in the morning and company coming at noon but we'll be walking some at the hospital.

Jessica has decided to spend another night with us and has just gotten back with supper from Applebee's. Becky had another craving for ribs and I can't fix them right here. We have really enjoyed having Jessica with us for a few days.

We'll report more tomorrow afternoon after the appointments.

Love,
Becky, Barb and Jessica
