Julie's still laying kind of low, mostly in the bed or on the couch, because of those painful clots in her swollen leg. But she has weaned herself off of the pain medication and her appetite is starting to come back. Our friends have been so generous in bringing over meals each week and they bring over enough to feed the whole neighborhood. We want to fatten Julie up, but I seem to be gaining all the weight.
I have a new appreciation for all that Julie does around the house. Between the cleaning, dishes, laundry, shopping and repeating the cycle over & over again, there doesn't seem to be as much couch-time. To think she's been doing this all along on top of teaching. Boy, am I glad to be a lazy boy.
One of the highlights for Julie each week is having a couple of her friends over for a Bible study on prayer. Annette & Debby even stuck around today to give our dumb dog a bath and clean out our neglected fridge. Now, that's what I call committed friends.
We are so blessed to have such great friends & family who just love on us in every way possible. It is so humbling to continually be on the receiving end of theirs & yours support and prayers.
I pray the Lord will honor you with his blessings for the goodness you have shown Julie & I! Love, Greg

Greg,
I want to praise you for taking on the roll of a servant.
Praise God for His healing mercies on Julie in helping her to cope with the pain without the meds. Keep hanging in there Julie. You are continuly on my mind and I love you very much. Thank you Greg for your love. Love, Ron, Dad
Greg, you are doing such a great job. I know what you mean. It is hard to realize how much the women fold do. I do try to help, but I never seem to do the wash right, or even vacuum the way it should be done. So I let Ellen manage it. I do have certain chores, like taking out the garbage, and I do get the brunt of outdoor work. But this time of year I'm on vacation. I always ask Ellen, "Do you need some help?" and the obligatory response from her is, "No." And this Thursday I will be on Christmas vacation! We also end the second nine weeks! Halfway through the year already. Time just goes too fast.
We think of you everyday, and I hope that you soon can find some peace from the pain.
Love Jerry and Ellen
