Pollen and Haze.

 Pollen and Haze.

 

So the pollen count is about 11 on a scale to 12, and it does not take much guesswork to think that the haze in the heavens might be coming from the Panhandle where the entire place is burning to the ground! God bless the firemen and those is the path of the fires. The winds are horribly strong and erratic, so there is little to plan for either putting out the fires or escaping their path. Just pray for Texas and the folks in its northern sections.

 

Felt a bit like dancing when reading that the cancer that attacked Tami Yonts is now in remission. The prayers made a difference. She was determined to put her faith over the fear in her life, too. So, here is what she wrote: Tami Yonts is with Mike Yonts.

 

On this exact day one year ago, I suffered a stroke at work which led to the discovery of a metastatic brain tumor, and subsequently several other melanoma tumors all thru my body. Life as I knew it ended on that day. The roller coaster of brain surgery, radiation, and 11 months of immunotherapy ensued.

Today, one year later, my doctor said those magic words, “You’re in remission”!

I AM IN REMISSION!

Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus for loving me and healing me. Prayer is powerful and I can never thank all of you enough for being part of my beautiful miracle.

I’ll continue to have monthly infusions for a few years as this cancer tends to come back. Scans every 3 months will keep us on top of everything.

To God be the glory and Jesus is the hero of my story! Faith over fear forever!

   

 

My sister-in-law Jacqui said that Sterling is home from his surgery and has had some pain, but at least he is taking the pain meds like he should. He can be stubborn. But he did get up and eat some chicken noodle soup a bit ago and lay back down to sleep again. We can just pray that he can sleep all night and not get up and be in a lot of pain tonight. He has a terrible time sleeping sometimes. Thank you in advance for your prayers for him and for his wife. You know, she has to put up with him even if she does kinda love him.

 

The grass is mown and it seems to please the silly hens. The dogs got their kicks by doing all kinds of barking about things, but at least we have not lost any animals out there in the jungle or had any blown over Kemp to the State grounds! Dang! That wind is a blowin’!

 

Took some of Shona’s wonderful enchiladas down to Patty earlier today. Took her two chicken and two beef enchiladas in containers. She bragged about them both, but said she had never chosen anything except cheese enchiladas when they went to Pioneer for dinner. Now she knows what kind to ask for next time she orders! The ones at Pioneer are good, but the old woman always calls them the “Famous Indigestion” instead of the Famous Enchiladas! One of these days, will have to take Shona to Pioneer for lunch or something so she will understand “what is a Pioneer”? Smiling!

 

Jacqui said that she would probably be up tonight because the weather where they are is supposed to be really bad. It may be flooding in California, but it is blowing across OK, TX, and Arkansas. We will just have to pray that no lives will be lost to the storms, winds, or fires.

 

Judie Brunson gave me a couple of packages of cookies yesterday and some little applesauce cups. Those just seemed perfect for a child’s lunch. Well, someone ate the applesauce, but the packaged cookies went across the street to be put into AJ’s lunch box. Always liked things that were neat to put in lunches, but never could afford anything except homemade. Not that homemade wasn’t good, but it just was not as “neat” looking. Funny how things like that matter to a kid or to a kid’s parent.

 

Thank all of you for praying for those who so desperately need prayer—and actually, that is ALL of US! My nephew who Carol Thonton calls “Jacob the Lionhearted” turned 15 years old the other day. Only by God’s grace and many prayers is that kid still with us. So, thank you, again, for your love.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
