It's been almost 7 months that my first episode with a collapsed lung, and giving up smoking.

Smoke free for 7 months? And only gained 7 lbs. Another issue, but resolved surgically in July.

I feel pretty good. And I thank God for his limitless mercy and chance to suffer ills for his sake.

Life is pretty good right now. And He's granted me new insights into the role of suffering in His plan.

For all your prayers and concerns since then...please accept my deepest thanks.
