And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. "The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." Exodus 14-13-14 ________________________…
Interview with Dr Harris (KALW)
My Lyme Doctor - Steven Harris - was on public radio discussing Lyme disease. He chimes in about 10 minutes in.

It’s Not Over Yet (For King & Country)
For King & Country quickly became one of my most favorite bands when I saw them perform last year at Joshua Fest in Quincy, CA. I sat backstage and listened to them encourage the audience to stay pure, stay focused and stay encouraged. And then came the song they wrote for their sister - their…
Around Every Corner
The last couple weeks have been good. I'm no where near 100%... but I've been out of bed every day for more hours than not. We want to hope that I've turned the corner and am on a path of healing, but we are keeping an open eye and praying that there is not a…

How are you?
How are you? I have become resentful of this question. People who live with extreme chronic pain just don’t have a simple answer to this question. I have a lot of bad nights, but last night was absolutely miserable. I took a pain pill before bed but woke up in the middle of the night…
Communicating With A Lymie – Do’s and Don’ts
Disclaimer: I do a disclaimer when I am about to say things that may come across the wrong way. This is not directed at anyone specifically – it’s really just general thoughts I’ve had over the last few years and now see happening to others as well. I am hoping that what I write here…
