HEALTH UPDATE

Thanks to all who have been faithful to this site during my absence. I had a very major operation on March 30 and I'm just able to get back to the computer. My recovery is going well but is slow. Forgive me if I get behind over the next few weeks. And thanks to all of you who let me know you were thinking of me and/or praying for me. I sure do appreciate it.
