Julie and Greg

"Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength: they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:31

Julie asked me to give you an update. Since we have come back home from Seattle Julie has struggled to bounce back. She has been coughing up some pretty gross stuff and she has lost her much of her appetite. I finally called Julie's oncology nurse and she said to take Julie to the ER. When we got to the hospital we ran into a hand full of mothers of students Julie has taught through the years. One of the mom's, Jenny, was her nurse and she took great care of Julie. After running a few tests they diagnosed Julie with bacterial pneumonia. So they gave her and an IV and antibiotics and sent her home.

I've been getting on Julie about eating something she said that if her mom was here she would eat. So, her mom & dad agreed to come to try and fatten her up on some good old fashion home cooking.

Thank you for being so faithful to pray for Julie! We love you very much. Greg

I have lots of "Gloria" recipes in my mom's cookbook, so I know she makes great food! Hope the antibiotics kick in, just in time to eat some of it! (Our favorite at Christmas time has always been "Gloria's cut-out cookies...")
Love, Cindy L.

Hoping you are feeling better. I just talked to Greg, it will be great to come share Thanksgiving and record Johnson Family music! Looking forward to seeing you.

Maybe mom will make fresh rolls! Fresh buttered and warm--mmmmm.

The students are learning how to use dashes and semi-colons which makes me happy, and we are just relaxing after school eating left-overs tonight.

The white nip of winter is in the air, and we may see snow later tonight. We have a new roof which somehow makes the whole house more cozy.

Wishing all of you peace,

Love Jerry
