My Brother Dan,

I love you, too. Very much! Thank you for your words of encouragement, they are much needed right now as I face the unknown.

I was just meditating over
"If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Luke 11:13 (NIV) So I asked Him for more of His Holy Spirit, in Jesus name!

Now that my daughter, Angela, knows I am facing much more than a simple case of hemorrhoids, she is tenderly showng a lot more concern and compassion than she was before. Just having her with me through the exam and explanation of what the surgery is going to be, made it less fearsome.
When I questioned the doctor about the cost involved ahe said "Don't you worry about that."

God bless you!
