Jan 14 I was going to post and tell you all I wasn’t going to blog tonight but then as the words typed through my brain like a typewriter…..I realized my post would be a blog. So here we are. So many thoughts. I love that you all emotionally were angry and surprised with me when you learned I could …

January 12 I’m going to try to do this quickly so please ignore my typing mistakes and try to read through them. We came to UofM because the radiation oncologist told us this is the best way to be seen. When I was not allowed to go into the ER I was very upset and felt like we walked into …

(Title by Dusty) Mark Linsley: 1.10.2022 “How long,  Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer,  Lord my God. Give light to my …

1-5-21 I don’t have much to say except we have a bat now. I can’t tell you guys things because then you send Amazon packages with bat exterminators in them…but it is the most exciting thing right now. We will conquer…I hope. The bird feeders are working beautifully. Thank you! I also would like to report that driving over an …

January 1st 2022 Happy New Year. It was the most uneventful one yet and I do not care at all. I won’t go through the long list of what 2021 brought us…I’m sure you are all aware at this point. I did get a message from my Zyia upline….and she asked for one moment or event that stood out in …

Dec 27th Its like Mark just knows when I’m about to update you all…he sent me over another “devotional” to share with you today. You can skip right to it if you want. Or you can get an update first. Christmas was good. Even though the kids are much older this was the first year they slept past 6:30am to …

First or Last Christmas It’s the eve of Christmas Eve and I cannot sleep again.  However, its not from pain—I don’t know necessarily why, I just can’t sleep. My thoughts have been running around the last couple of weeks as Dusty and a team of volunteers have been working feverishly to get us moved to the new house,  The final …

December 21. An unbelievable thing happened. Unbelievable. We were hoping to get the last of our belongings out of the KC house this weekend so as soon as Pastor Chris finished online, I grabbed my coat and headed out. Gas station first and then to the house. But when you get there….you realize you still have a TON of stuff …

Chaos

December 17th (unedited version…running out the door!) Its quiet and dark and no one is up. I don’t often get time to just sit and type like Mark does. I’m often just coming in on 3 wheels (bald and low on air) to do a quick “report” to keep you guys updated and feel slightly out of my head. I …

Its late. I’m tired. But I did promise an update. Mark’s intense pain is gone but there is always pain. Now his back muscles just feel very sore and achey. Bending over is still super hard. He just feels…sick…all the time and maybe this is just what it will feel like to have an illness and be under treatment. I …
