Brew 2 - Day ???

Just wanted to log back in. Certainly sorry that our situation here has kind of ended things for this 40 day period. Once again we learn that God is in control and our plans are not always His.

These past 10 days have been long and challenging, but overall, they were really quite a blessing. From Tuesday to Tuesday we were gathered as a family watching, waiting, and then celebrating Ken's life. It was truly a celebration. We had longer, greater family time durng this week than we have every had in our family's history. Erin said that she got to know her cousins better than she has ever known them. It was truly a blessed time. Nathan preached part of the funeral service. His grandpa would have been very proud of him. It was a beautiful service. Sharon, Erin and Deb (Sharon's sister) all sang on recordings that were played during the service. It was very special.

We have completely gone off the diet. It was impossible to stay on in during that week. Even nutritional food at the hospital could not come close to matching what we needed to be eating.
Any way we have learned how to eat healthy and I know we will return to it. My weight plateaued at about -17 pounds so that is good. When we come to NYC for spring break late next week, Erin, Will, Sharon and I may restart the 40 days at that time.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support. You are loved and appreciated. God is good.

Jerry
