Tonight, just as Patti and I were leaving for Wednesday night prayer meeting, the phone rang. It was Southwest General Hospital. We figured we had better take it so Patti handed the phone to me. It was a female voice and when she said she had the results of the 5 biopsies, I just knew that it was going to be good. All 5 were negative. Praise God for that good report.

Patti and I are both bushed after our 5:15pm to 5:15am trip to New Richmond, Ohio to look at a McDonald's that we are remodeling and is right in the midst of the power blackout in the Cincinnati/SW Ohio area. Patti drove the entire 4 1/2 hours back as I was sore and hurting from being in the car so long and doing things on the job site that I should not have done. Anyhoo, Patti is a good wife and we talked almost the entire way down and back. It was erie driving along and seeing no lights for miles and miles. The only thing lit up near the town was the power plant and then three miles down the road, the McDonald's because we have generators there for lights and running the equipment.

I thank God for the safety he gave us last night and the good report from the doctor's. I have felt for some time God's hands of protection around me and my family and the comfort that it brings. I just need to work on asking God for wisdom for future treatments and lifestyle changes. Also to ask Him to work on the testosterone deficiency as it's rough dealing with all the emotions that were not there before. I still think I could go on the men's or the women's retreats that are coming up at the church and be comfortable and fit right in either group. (I hope you all realize that this is just my poking fun at a really tough thing for me to deal with, so laugh with me and not at me on this.)
