May 23 Update

Greetings!!
Thank you once again for your prayer support! We have truly experienced supernatural peace . . . in the midst of circumstances that are totally out of our control . . . we are experiencing PEACE!!

As we walked into the Burzynski Clinic in Houston three weeks ago, I looked at Sam and asked him what he was ‘feeling’ at that moment . . . he replied: “An overwhelming sense of God’s Peace”. I had the exact same ‘feeling’! And, we experienced it every day through all of the treatments! We know it is the power of prayer, and we thank you for interceding for us.

They immediately started Sam on a gene therapy treatment program which was designed for his specific cancer, based on MANY tests. We stayed in Houston for 16 days, where Sam was monitored during daily treatments. We will continue this treatment regime for 90 days, (which consists of Sam taking medication in the form of pills and liquid every TWO hours!!). He will be flying to Houston every two weeks for an infusion treatment.
After that time, he will have all of the scans repeated and they will evaluate his progress, and future treatment will be determined based on the results. Sam is feeling great and the only side effects so far are an acne-like-rash.

Right now we are in a ‘wait and see’ time. A time that God is teaching us more about trust, faith and His incredible, supernatural peace. One thing that has ministered to us in a very special way, is the book by Larry Burkett, “Nothing to Fear . . . The Key to Cancer Survival” It has almost felt like Larry left us a manual to follow! One quote I love:
….the circumstances don’t have to be reasonable, or even understandable, for us to have God’s peace. You don’t have to have a cure or be assured that you’ll live for a long time in order to have peace from God. If that were true, the peace wouldn’t have to come from God; it would simply come as a result of good circumstances.” Right now, our circumstances are anything but ‘good’ . . . and yet . . . we have PEACE!! God is good!

Thank you again for standing with us. We are humbled by your love for us, and cannot begin to express what your friendship, love and prayers mean to us! Experiencing the Body of Christ in such a powerful way has given us so much hope and encouragement. Thank you again for being willing to stand in the gap for us! We are praying for you too!

In His Love,
Sam & Ann

    We should be chary and fussy in all the information we give. We should be signally careful in giving advice that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to escape giving advisor which we don’t follow when it damages those who take us at our word.

    A humankind begins scathing his wisdom teeth the first often he bites off more than he can chew.

    To be a good benign being is to have a make of openness to the mankind, an gift to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something very outstanding relating to the condition of the ethical compulsion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something fairly tenuous, but whose acutely item attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
