Wack to bork!

Couldn't resist that Diane Chambers reference from Cheers. I've got the okay to get back to the classroom and plan on being there tomorrow the 25th and Friday the 26th to observe with the intention of begining to teach next Monday, March 1. As usual, Apollo is bending over backwards to help. The wonderful sub who has had my classes all year will be with me in the classroom next week to help and as a standby should I find the need to rest or go home for any reason. Again, I can't begin to convey my appreciation to Apollo for their genorisity and care.

Kim and I have enjoyed worshipping at our church this past month and hope to expand that to attending Sunday School soon as well as our mid week group that meets every other Wednesday. Our church has also been, and continues to be, an incredible blessing to us and we look forward to getting more and more involved.

sheepish monthly update

I'm definitely getting worse and worse at updating this blog. My sincere apologies. I appreciate so much though that despite my failings, the incredible ministry from you to us through prayer and other means continues. We appreciate that so much.

Had our one month checkup at Cleveland Clinic last Tuesday the 26th. The bloodwork levels all look good and Dr. Smith removed the dietary/social restrictions I was on for the first month so we celebrated by going to the Beer Barrel on Friday and were blessed so much by returning to our wonderful church family for worship on Sunday. Again, Kim and I cannot begin to express our gratefulness to our church. It was wonderful seeing everyone again.

Dr. Smith "strongly" recommended I take another 4 weeks before returning to work so I'm now aiming for a March return to the classroom and will use this month of February to continue to regain strength and easing back into public/social situations. I set up 3/weekly physical therapy today so that will also be part of this month of transition.

We love you all and continue to covet your prayers for God's work in our lives.
