Greetings loved ones!!

We haven't updated in a few days. We are up to our ears in school supplies! Chandler is fun to shop with for school supplies. She loves the thrill of everything new, clean and fresh. We laugh about it together because I was the same way. Starting over ~ no matter what is ~ can always be refreshing in it's own way.

I'm so thankful that God's mercies are new every morning. I sure need them! I was reading the other day that when mercy and peace are mentioned together in the Bible, they occur in that order (with one execption: Gal 6:16). Mercy is the act of God, and peace is the resulting experience in the heart of man. Very cool.

We have praises!! Our insurance company approved the transplant. Thank you praying with us for this! We are good to return on Aug 27th, and start tests on that Monday.
Frank will have to do another heart function tests when he returns. He didn't do as well as he did 3 1/2 years ago on the ECHO, so they are going to do another test that is a little more accurate. They told us NOT TO WORRY. So we aren't. They kind of blamed it on the people reading the tests. And they said even with his score, he still can have the transplant.

So, we are praying that what they said is the case, and nothing else. Let's pray the new tests they run will show his heart strong and capable. I wonder if Frank's sweet spirit, and tender heart shows up on their x-ray machines!! He'd score off the chart on that test.

We are traveling ~ all 5 of us ~ to Huntsville, AL for Zach's soccer tournament. We've never done that before. Usually one parent stays home, and one goes. We thought this would be fun to do together since we're leaving soon. Go LOBOS!!

In everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thess 5:18
