Spring has arrived and we're enjoying the warmer weather and buds sprouting everywhere. We have had a pair of barred owls living in our little neck of the woods for several years now. They are very active day and night during nesting season. We have been entertained by so much activity and their calls to each other. This week I was able to capture video and close up photos of one hunting chipmunks just a few feet from our driveway.

I have been on my new targeted treatment for three months now, since discovering the changes in my cancer in December. In January I had an intense bout of heartburn for 48 hours and quickly learned NOT to take the medication on an even a half empty stomach. I'm feeling very good, with plenty of energy.

I underwent scans this week and met with my oncologist to discuss the results. The tumors in the liver have not grown. They are seeing some new bone metastasis, mild increases in some lung nodules and mild decreases in others. But over all the doctor felt the cancer was "stable"  and recommends continuing this treatment for another three months when we'll rescan and reevaluate. 

Thank you all dear friends for your prayers. I am always humbled when ever someone says they are praying fro me.

Along with the Bible Project (and our small group)  I'm meditating and studying Jesus' Sermon on the Mount this year.

I continue to pray for peace and that I would be a peacemaker.

I hope that those who are suffering will be comforted. 

I hope that more of us will see the way of Jesus and the upside-down kingdom. May those of us who call ourselves Christian be known by our love.
