Traffic Tuesday

Good morning all,

Look, I am already anticipating much traffic today. We made it fine yesterday and traffic wasn't impossible. It didn't really get bad until the "Circle" or "Circus" as I like to refer to it. Ha!

John has a 1:00 appointment with Dr. Akst about the vocal cord procedure. He's not sure his name is okay for a doctor (funny, huh?). I'm not sure whether they will do anything today or not, but I'll try to let someone know something. I'm not sure when I will get to blog again, but I will try to either call Delores or send her a text as to what happens today.

Tomorrow he sees Dr. Yoo (the eye doctor) and then Dr. Alexander (the neurosurgeon). His eye is not drastically improved so I'm not exactly sure what they will want to do about that.

His balance is still very unsteady, but he is so strong-willed and independent (both nice ways of saying a bit bull-headed) that he insists on using the cane instead of the walker. Again, I just want him to be safe.

Please pray for Phil, Kay and their family today as I know it will be a difficult day for them. I understand Rodney Rubenacker has needs, also. Please continue to pray for Van and Delores as well, although Van looks absolutely terrific. There are so many that need God's healing touch in so many ways. We so appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers for us.

We are so blessed by God and by having all of your in our lives. This Thanksgiving season is very special to us. Ken's message Sunday was on being thankful IN all things. I think we often let our circumstances rule our attitudes and that should not be the way a blessed people should act or react to anything. Okay, I'll get down off my soapbox and say how appreciative we are for all of you and for God's mercy and grace.

Hope you all have a great day!

Love and thanksgiving,

John and Cathy from the windy city
