But this precious treasure—this light and power that now shine within us—is held in perishable containers, that is, in our weak bodies. So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own.2 Corinthians. 4:7... this is one of my favorite verses ... and seems so fitting for Chuck right now. The strength within his frail body is amazing and shines brighter every day!

The respirator tube was reinserted last night. It's just too hard for him to breathe while flat on his back. I don't know when the tube will come out. I am still hoping that he'll be out of ICU later today.

This is short and sweet today. Chuck had a rough day yesterday ... trouble breathing, very thirsty, and everytime he was awake he asked for food. It just broke my heart. He's tough, though. Praying for physical comfort for him, relief from those naughty physical impulses he has to eat and drink, and for healing.

XXXOOO,
