The Texas Heart Institute in Houston has found that only a third of my heart is working now. My only option is open-heart surgery scheduled for Monday. It will be a double bypass surgery. They will take veins from my leg to replace the failed veins in my heart. I am currently in the ICU unit waiting until Monday as I am at risk until after a successful surgery. My spirits are high as our Lord is ever with me! Holly is my Angel girl with me all the way as are our children and … [Read more...]

Hey, this is Jerry, I just wanted to let everyone who follows this page know that I have had a setback with my heart.

"Do not leave your post" is an exhortation from the book of Ecclesiastes  10:4 in the Bible. The teaching here tells us that even in an extremely difficult situation we must not leave our post.

In the last verse of chapter 9, it says “ One sinner destroys much”. Spilling over into chapter 10:1 it says, “ Dead … [Read more...]

Dear Friends, I am lying in bed here in our little loft we love so much. I'm looking out over the snow. My knee replacement surgery went well. Great doctors and great care in a great hospital in Denver. The pain yesterday was really tough. I felt ambushed by it. I'm always overly optimistic about " punching through it". My dear Holly has been taking such good care of me. That gal has a lot of love in her heart. ❤️  One of the highlights of my hospital stay was being able to speak … [Read more...]

This truth has been my anchor. As many of you know, my Dad died when I was 18, the week after my graduation from Lovett High School. This was a heartbreaking and painful experience for me and my whole family. It was during this time that I learned to run to God for everything. He is a father to the fatherless. When my family, my friends, my priest and my YL leaders did not have answers, I could run to God my father & ask Him to show me the way. I learned that His Holy Spirit could comfort … [Read more...]
