Wednesday hello :-)

Kit wanted to say:
"After a couple days of not being able to get up...I was able to get up a little bit today. It must have been your prayers because I felt that it was God Himself telling me to get up today. Maisha was able to read my emails and blog comments to me and it's always very encouraging and comforting that I'm still on your minds and in your hearts and prayers."

My dad is very tired, but not in a lot of pain. He has started to have night sweats again. My family and I are very grateful for this time together and for all of you who love us. I know that many of you would like to hear from my mom...hopefully she will be able to write on the blog sometime. She's very busy as she's back to her regular work schedule and is also taking care of my dad.

We love you all.
Maisha and family

Great news, remembering that God gives us strength. I can just imagine His hand on you. One day at a time, boy did you ever think that would be so real??? Pray for added strength every day, the night sweats to just go away,time with your family and the love and healing from our God. Shelly don't you worry about writting for others, it seems like your thoughts are in my mind every day.

Thank you Misha

Maisha, Tell your dad that I had dinner with Jim Thering last night. He told me how he had gone on a ride in our old stomping grounds and how he felt Kits presence there with him the entire time. Tell your dad that we all carry him in our hearts and will always do so. Tell your mom not to feel any pressure to do anymore than she is. God Bless you all..Love Jimi

Dearest Kit,

You are missed at the office. I am praying for you, it's good to hear you are not in much pain. Oh, and you may find it funny that I get night sweats too, but for a different reason. :) I love you very much, brother!

Love,

You guys on in our thoughts and prayers constantly. I was reading in 1 Corinthians this morning and these verses made me think of you and since I'm writing I'll share them with you. Chapter 1, verses 4 & 5 - "I always thank God for you because of His grace given to you in Christ Jesus. For in Him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge."

Love you guys

Tell Kit that I have found the Hope Chapel here in Kailua Kona - and the pastor is a, um, person of short persuasion who is very animated and genuine and cries for Happy. Tell Kit that I was able to uphold my end of the arguement with a Jehovah's witness patient. Tell Kit that I visited an Ashram with a patient recently and was able to give a defense to the resident Swami. tell Kit I cannot help but to miss him, love him, think of him. Love you Lauers.
