I can't believe the world we are living in. Who would have ever thought Mark and I would be where we are now. It is like something out of a dream, only not such a good one. We are still up and down on that roller coaster all the time, or maybe it was the see-saw, you're either really high or really low. You remember how it was always fun to try to balance the see-saw perfectly still in the middle - perfectly balanced? I would take a little of that in our lives right now. I am ALL FOR just a plain ole right in the middle, straight up boring!
Mark remains very, very tired. Dr. Diaz is back and Mark has had some improvement since the weekend, but he is just too tired to be able to keep up with his treatments. Sometimes it is hard to just hold his head up. While we know that the condition of his liver is contributing to this, it is also probable that his low blood counts are not helping him out either. Mark desire is to gain more enegy so he can keep working hard with Dr. Diaz. Last week was a really positive week and he is hoping, that he can get back to that point. He will go for some blood today and God willing, that will give him extra energy. He will follow that with some more time with Dr. Diaz, so busy day for him today.
Love to all, Missy

HOPE
>>>The Four Candles (author unknown)<<<
The Four Candles burned slowly. Their ambiance was so soft you could
hear them speak...
The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to
keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out
completely.
The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer
indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out
completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength
to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my
importance.
They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting
no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly...
A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning.
The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to
stay lit until the end."
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be
afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the
other candles."
With shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other
three candles.
Do you let Hope burn brightly? Hope is like "happiness insurance." As
long as you have hope, happiness is just around the corner.
Please forward this email to someone who could use a little
inspiration.

DEAR BROWNS:
WE ARE THINKING OF YOU AND SENDING SOS PRAYERS 'NEVER CEASING.' PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL YOUR PRAYER AMBASSADORS ARE AT TASK LIFTING YOU AND YOUR NEEDS TO OUR PRECIOUS FATHER.
A FEW YEARS AGO, FRANCES SHARED A TAPE WITH US THAT HAD HELPED HER THROUGH A VALLEY; WE WERE GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A PRECIOUS GRANDSON. WITH FRANCES' PERMISSION I AM FORWARDING YOU A COPY OF THE WORDS. (WOULDN'T IT BE NEAT FOR ABBEY TO SING THIS WONDERFUL SONG!!)
verse 1:
Life is easy when you're on the mountain, and you've got peace of mind like you've never known; But when things change and you're down in the valley, don't lose faith for you're never alone.
verse 2:
We talk of faith when we're up on the mountain, but talk comes easy when life's at its best; but in the valley of trials and temptations, that's when faith is really put to the test.
chorus:
And the God on the mountain is still God in the valley; when things go wrong, He'll make them right; and the God in the good times is still God in the bad times. The God of the Day is still God of the night.

Ya know, it is said that you learn something NEW everyday. Thank You Jesus ! I found out today (and to prove to the "Doubting Thomas's out there)someone Loves Me. Yep, they do . Mark Brown LOVES ME ! WOOOOWHOOO! How do I know you ask ?
He told me so HIMSELF. A hug & a Kiss & I LOVE YOU are THE BEST gifts in the Whole World ! And my HERO told me so just this evening.
Was good to visit with Missy,Mark & his family. Thank you Big Sis for taking the time to come and get me. Now Missy, you and Judy try to get some rest tonight.

It is almost Sunday,so I thought I better get this posted. Hope every one enjoyed the beautiful, windy, but beautiful Saturday. I had to open the POT SHOP in Henrietta.Not many sales but very productive. I am helping out at Rollling Meadows with their Mardi Gras masks. So today, to help pass the time I made several masks. Come Thursday , when we are having the Mask Making Party, I will have some already made to help give those who attend an idea for their own. Also we will have extra for those who are unable to attend.
OOPS ! It is now Sunday SO I better hit the shower.
Love to all,

Missy, we have been praying for you, Mark and the kiddo's. I am praying for a miracle of healing. God is in the healing business, healing is natural for HIM. Maybe Mark will find favor in the Lord and God will breath a new life into Mark.

Mark and Missy,
Sending love and prayers your way. We are so hopeful that Dr. Diaz will have the right combination to help with how you are feeling. Fred is glad to hear that you have tried ozone therapy, he uses it alot here and thinks it's great for almost anything! May need to give Missy a good session!
We are hoping to make it that way soon. Praying we can at least get the girls together for a visit.
All our love,
Fred, Chris, Emily and Hudson
