I hope you never lose sight of that, even as the pain and throws of death wrap around you.

I'm praying especially for your comfort and courage. Know that you have made a difference because, I'm embarassed to say, that my prayers usually focus on me. I had to say that because you've been so honest in your writing that I'm encouraged to return the favor, regardless of the embarassment. Thanks for teaching humility and grace.

Otherwise I might have wanted to point you that way myself! Andrew, what you are going through is searingly painful and unimaginable to most. One can only stand back with amazement at the clarity of expression you still possess and the way you write about the hard with such realistic grittiness and grace. I hate the way cancer is eating away at your poor body, my friend, but I am loving the way it has pared back to reveal the phenomenal poet who resides within, who is still pouring out such wonderful, vibrant verse. Though I ache for the awful effects of your pain and all it seeks to take away. Keeping you, Barb and your canine family in my thoughts and prayers.

By your testimony, you have shown folks what the love and strength and grace of God are like. In amongst all these things, you have touched countless lives. Why else would there be so many of us, who have never met in real life, cling to prayer for you and Barbara and the doggies? The seeds of your faith have been planted in others, to live long into eternity. Did you do enough? I believe you have. But God is the one who will say, "Okay, Andrew, that's enough... come to Me."<br /><br />We continue our prayers for you. - Diana & JerryDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.com
