I know I haven't updated you guys lately and I'm very sorry for that. God gave me several opportunities to get out and about. God allowed me the opportunity to attended church services at First Baptist Church of SunnySide. God allowed me to opportunity go visit some of you. I know I said this before and it may sound like a broken record (for those of you that are not sure what a record is, a cd with a scratch in it is the closes thing I can thing of to describe it....LOL). I want to thank you all for your continued support.

I am doing alot better strength is getting better each day. I can actually pick up a 15 pound dumbbell without being in pain. I can do little things around the house even though I do still get tired in a short amount of time. I don't sleep as much as the cats do (LOL). God does give me enough strength each day to do the task he has set for me to do that day and I'm very grateful and give Him all the Glory. Last Sunday was my first Sunday God allowed me to sing with the praise team since I've been sick. It was AWESOME.

On February 11, 2010 Vicky and myself had out 20th Anniversary. We went to a class together at the Henry County Sheriff's Department for training and then we went to Joe's Crab Shack (neither of us has ever been there before.) The food and service was awesome and we had a wonderful time. I took her to Southlake Mall to pick up her cookie cake for our anniversary. Then she had to go home to rest because she had to go to work that night. Vicky your the best and I LOVE YOU MOSTEST.

On February 18, 2010 I have a CAT scan set up at Atlanta Medical Center to check everything to make sure things are going well inside. There is not a problem the Dr Burrowes wants to do CAT scans every so often just to keep a check on things. Several of you have asked about the mass found. It was call FIBROMATOSIS. I have checked the Internet for information and didn't do well finding much. I did find two websites that might help you understand it some. One of the sites has letters from people that had the mass growing in them and some of the things they had to go through. If you want surf those sight for information that would be great. If you can find a site that has good information or at lease better information please share with me that would be AWESOME.

My next doctor's appointment is February 25, 2010. I will let you all know how things go.

You guys have been and are so awesome and I'm so glad God has allowed you all to be part of my life.

May God continue to bless you as he has me.

Love in Christ
