A Bit Of Good News

Apologies - due to a combination of work, Iaijutsu training, and travel preparations, today's missive is brief - but at least happy

As you may recall, my Aunt Pat was diagnosed with cancer in late October, and in mid-November had gone into the hospital with a reaction to the chemotherapy.  She was able to return home but was put on hospice.

We received an update from my cousin last night.  She is doing well - so well, in fact, that she may be able to "graduate" from hospice (this is not unknown to me; it happened to my father's elder brother as well).  It does not change the underlying situation of course, but it is good news and will enable her family to have a much more merry Christmas than they otherwise might of.

Thanks for all of your prayers, kind thoughts, and well wishes.

One old-time radio preacher, the name of whom escapes my memory now, always opened his program with "God is still on the throne, and prayer changes things".  

Thank you for your part in "changing things".
