Did you ever see the award-winning "Band of Brothers" on HBO a couple of years ago? In one episode the GI's are dug into their foxholes while they are being shelled by the German artillery during the winter in the Battle of the Bulge. There was nothing they could do except pray that one of the shells did not land in their respective foxhole. It was horrific even on the small screen.
The Mrs. and I have commented numerous times how blessed we are to have avoided the numerous things that happen to other people while we escape with a scratch here and bruise there.
Well, one of the shells just landed in our foxhole. She went in for her annual mammogram last week and things did not look normal. After a biopsy it was confirmed that she has breast cancer. We are now in the discovery phase of what her subsequent treatment will be. Fortunately, we have discovered it early which gives her a variety of options for treatment, but I suspect we are going to have another one of those character-building journeys.

If there ever was a couple strong enough in their love and devotion to one another to conquer ANYTHING.. it is the two of you.
Love and prayers your way
Bravo Ted....you got it. Although you are presently quite the character :o) ...you are on a charcater building journey.....to become the very image of Christ. With that said, you were created by God and given His authority on earth. When you pair that with the revelation of "on earth as it is in heaven" well you have your answer to the diagnosis....you have God's prognosis. In heaven there is NO sickness, therefore it shall NOT be allowed to take root and reside in God's earthen vessel...your darling wife. Follow the doctor's advise, God uses them to heal, but also rise up and take authority in prayer over this as God has given you the authority. I have watched God heal hearts and various types of cancers and ailments. Nothing is impossible with God! Praying with you always!
Teddy, I'm here for you as always. Love, Joey
