          It's scan day. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Not just the MRI's and scans and the waiting and wondering and worrying...but the everyday stuff. The pain that never seems to go away. All the other issues that go along with having been through cancer treatments (if you know, you know). Just all of it. Yet, before they take him in, he's talking to everyone and laughing and just being Jim. Always wanting to make someone else's day better. I want to be more like that. No matter what the circumstances are. So here we are... As you have so many times for us in the past, will you pray? And if you'd like me to pray for you, let me know. I would be honored. I believe in the power of prayer, but especially in the One who knows exactly what we need at all times! He is faithful and so good! Romans 8:28 I'll be sharing the outcome in my story as soon as we know the results. Thank you so much!
