Friends,

Is about for all your working folks to pack it in for the week, you've earned a great weekend. As you saw from my earlier post it was an early start for me today. I did get in a little walk around the block, first time all the way around...I was so tired when I got back. Today was another big milestone for me....(WARNING: yes, I am still a boy!!) I got to spend some time in the bathroom reading....YEEE HAAA. I've been waiting for a week.

I also found some pretty interesting stats today that I want to share. Did you know that over 186,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and over 28,000 death will occur this year? Prostate cancer is the leading cause of death in our country for men. Men, buck up and schedule those physicals and ladies, nag you men til they do it! My oldest son is only 32 years old but I am already on him about getting his physical and have his PSA (prostate specific antigen) checked. Yea, I know, doc will say you don't need to worry about it til you reach 45-50 years old BUT - now we have a family history!

Our church family continues to pour blessings on us. Meals have been prepared and delivered everyday. Our Emmaus community has also been sending their support in posted comments and emails. Just as I said many times, God will show up and show off -- He surely has !!!

I hope you all have a great weekend. Am sure I will be hanging close to home and staying in to stay warm. About 33 shopping days left til Christmas.... I only need one.

I Love You ALL so much and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"Thank you Lord for Your blessings on me"

Mike
