So I just got a call from my Dad. His creatinine level is 9, which means his kidney function has declined even more. He had some chest x-rays done and they showed fluid around his lungs. Please be in prayer for him, and wisdom for his doctor to make the best decision for him.

So we made it back safely from Atlanta. The tests went well, to the best of my knowledge. I won’t have the results until sometime late next week, after the review board meets, so I will post once I know what is next. Thanks for your prayers.

Please pray for Caanan to have a God given peace and comfort with me going through the kidney donor process. It is almost lunchtime now and the tests are going really well.

We made it safely to Atlanta and are staying at the Mason Guest House while we are here for the evaluation. The house is very nice and much better than I anticipated. The drive was a little stressful today due to traffic, but we did get a chance to stop at HRO to get a replacement antenna mount for the… Continue reading Prayer Request Update 07-30

He is still very short of breath, and has trouble even talking, much less doing anything else. He has an appointment tomorrow… Continue reading Prayer Request Update 07-25

I have been getting some email messages from my mom and wanted to share some of the news. As I mentioned in a previous post, my parents went on a mission trip to Tennessee with their church. They worked on a house for an elderly gentleman that has a monthly income of about $350. If this post seems long, skip… Continue reading Prayer Request Update 07-23

What is your story? You may find my story to be interesting. Only one way to find out… I was raised with the knowledge that debt is bad. Credit cards aren’t evil but they can create a world of hurt — fast. When I went off to college, I didn’t really think much about getting a credit card or two… Continue reading Financial Peace University – Stories

So my dad has been planning a mission trip with his church for over a year now and made it safely to Tennessee. I really appreciate seeing churches that do missions here in the United States, and it is awesome to see what this church is doing for these people. They live in homes without power or running water, and… Continue reading Prayer Request Update 07-17

I wanted to give you an update on the latest news for my dad, Phil. Phil, is doing ok, but not great. He has days where he feels pretty good, and others where he doesn’t feel well at all. The transplant is important, but Phil is not in critical condition. As long as there are no complications, people with kidney… Continue reading Prayer Request Update 07-15
