Sharon is at the Oncologist's office this morning as I write this. Today is the first day she has driven herself to and from the visit. Normally, she is given some drug that makes her sleepy. Today she will have only the Herceptin so she won't be needing the other drugs. We have lots of questions for the Doctor today in light of the surgeon's report last Wednesday. Among those questions is the one about traveling. We actually are looking to the future and hoping for a trip to Tennessee for two family reunions in June. I'll have to let you know later in the week how this meeting went.

The Music Benefit on Saturday was HUGE! There was an estimate of 1300-1400 people who came to the church for the concerts. All of the music was superb. I enjoyed every minute of it. Sharon was able to attend the entire day. She was a bit exhausted when it was done. Her sister, Margaret, surprised her and came in on Friday night from Memphis to be at the Benefit. I must tell you that the church family and the Community Singers did a marvelous job in pulling off this ordeal. I didn't get to see all the outside work because I was inside the entire day. But with temperatures in the 90's and some folks outside all day I don't know how they did it. But they did and Sharon and I appreciate them so very much. It was a special day that we will never forget.

As for your prayers, continue to pray for the cancer that is in Sharon's liver. We pray that it, too, clears as it did in the breast. May God be seen and glorified in each step of this process. We love you all.
