Dear Dave, Irene, Joanna, and Joceyln,  I am sure 2007 has been a terribly long year for you all.  I learned of your trials a few months ago and check in to see how you all are doing.  I am inspired by your faith and encouraged by the glory given to God by your dependence on and strength in Him.

I know how this journey affects each of you as individuals, as a couple, as a family.  How wonderful that God reveals himself daily to you and that you recognize those miracles.  At a time I needed it most, God reminded me of the event of the Israelites in the desert gathering manna.  Each day they were to gather only what they needed for that day.  If they gathered too much it would rot.  That manna provided all the nutrition and sustenance necessary to get through the day.
