Hebrews 12:1-3

Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

Latest updates

Well today was a good day some plans are coming together. Saturday it looks like we are leaving on our road trip to cover 3 rehab facilities in Chicago, grand rapids, and Detroit. They are using some exciting technology that we would like try and see how Sandra's body reacts. We want to strike while the irons hot and be proactive in her recovery. The basic plan is to check out each place and see where to best fit is then go with it. Sandra is packing for a possible extended stay. Also today Sandra's own wheel chair came in. We are very thankful it is here before we leave on our road trip, it has some great technology and weighs only 22lbs compared to the loaner at 55lbs. This will be a great help in getting around. Mike

    Hi there,

    We have family in GR (including Matt's parents; his Dad is a physiotherapist). If you need contacts or a place to stay, let me know.

    Best of luck, Sandra, with love and prayers!! Much strength to you, Mike, you're awesome.
    I know it's a long, LONG way away, but Brian went to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and I know they have quite an incredible rehab centre too. I looked into medical treatment there for my hip replacement and related complications. The doctors are top notch. More options, I guess, if you're interested.
    Hugs and blessings,
    Claire (Brian, Jake, Payton and Brynn)
