Health Update

It has been quite some time since I have entered any news on how our son Charter is doing with his type 1 diabetes. It is still painful to talk about. My emotions still will run wild. I still have to look to God to calm my anxious spirit. There is however some hope in the bleakness of this chronic illness. We have not of course given up hope in a miraculous healing, but we also realize that there are things brought into our lives that we do not care to experience, that God can use to His glory in ways quite beyond our comprehension.

So as to a brief update. In our crazed research trying to locate answers in an area where there seems to be none, we come across that glimmer of hope. Our family has began a radical lifestyle change in hopes of helping Charter. We are now eating raw vegan foods. This adventure actually began in February, and we did a major part of the transition in June. I want to share the results we have seen and will soon, but I had to at least get it documented that we have/ are implementing these changes. So stay tuned for the journey.

Just Had To Brag



Wow! What an amazing experience. Our two oldest kids had the opportunity to participate in the musical King Island Christmas at the Warehouse Theater in Yakima, WA. They just finished their run of 10 shows over the past three weeks. We had the most splendid time. It is hard to put into words how proud you can be of your children. I just love watching them do something they love so much. Just had to brag.
