Wow! It is hard to explain where my thoughts and feelings are today. I left Goldsboro on Monday, riding on the funeral coach with Bruce from Seymore Funeral Home. In the back was Mr. Bill Brieske. We were escorted the entire time by 17 motorcycles from the M25 Christian Motorcycle gang. We stopped in Virginia just short of Arlington for the night. The next morning we completed our journey to Arlington National Cemetery with a total of 5 bikes in front of us and 20 bikes behind us. Those guys are special. Then I experienced being the chaplain at the graveside with full military honors - caisson, band, 21 gun salute, taps, folding of the flag and all of the detail that goes with all of that. Thoughts and feelings - Awesome!

As we were returning home late yesterday evening, Diane called me to tell me that my brother in law Craig received some discouraging news. It looks like his cancer does not want to give up. It looks like it is in his liver in a big time way. Thoughts and feelings - immense sadness.

We will leaver here in a few minutes to travel to Duke for my 3 month scan. We will return to Duke tomorrow so that the doctor can give us the results of the scan. Thoughts and feelings - confidence, then concern, then confidence, then concern. . .

I sure am glad that no matter where our thoughts and feelings are, God's thoughts and feelings are always centered around His love for us. Aren't you?
