Here's the January Column!
Well, it's been a while. 7 months to be exact. Good thing I don't rely on my columns for
a living. I'd be a might hungry 'bout now! (probably wouldn't hurt to go hungry for a bit
judging from my waistline!) I have to apologize to anyone who is bored enough to read my
column on a regular basis for not being diligent in my writing but I've always maintained
that if I can't write something decent, I won't write anything at all.
My wife recently reminded me that there are a lot of you folks out there who supported
me in my quest to finance the drug "Zenapax" for my MS by buying my CD and I owe it to
you to provide an update.
I have been very busy doing 'Pastor' stuff for the good people at Clearwater Cowboy
Church now for over 3 years and have been absolutely blessed by being a part of that
ministry. As far as the drug goes, we have spent over $28,000 on 12 treatments to date
and not spent a dime of our own money thanks to all who bought CDs, friends who gave
generously and my family who gave us over $18,000 alone. We thank God every single day
for your awesome gifts.
"Ya,Ya,Ya" you say, "But is it working?"
I had an MRI done on the 29th of December for a comparison with an MRI done in August 2007
and guess what?
There has been NO progression or new demylination in a year and a half! "What's that mean?"
you may ask. We believe that "Zenapax" has stopped the progression of my MS! "Praise God from
whom all blessings flow!" This is HUGE!
I try to swim a couple times a week and use my walker around the house as much as possible
so now I just need to get my strength back. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
Most of all, thank God for this answer to prayer!
Might have to dust off the ol' saddle purdy soon! I'm sure Deb would like to see me get
off my butt too!!

A Helpin? Hand!
There's a peace I find as I survey this blanket of stars I'm under,
to know who wields the lightning bolt, the commander of the thunder!
The creator of all the universe, the one who mapped it out
The one who allows all life to begin is the one that I'm talkin? about!
I've had the chance to talk to Him on many different occasions.
I've had the chance to ask His help with some of life's tougher equations!
He's helped me to see the value of life as I've ridden the mountains in spring.
He's helped me to feel the incredible joy that a life in His presence can bring!
I've ridden the trail with many a hand that I'd trust when life's out of control
but Jesus Christ is the only one that I trust when it comes to my soul!
I mentioned a peace in a previous verse, to explain it I'll have to expound.
Between the covers of God's Holy Word, John three-sixteen is where it is found.
To have this peace you must truly believe that the words that are found here are true.
Admit where you're wrong and ask for His help, then you'll know that he's ridin? with you!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that
whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life!
John 3; 16
