It was a GREAT day to be in the Lord's house to worship and know the LOVE of His family!
Pastor Dave preached from Luke 7. It was great. One thing that jumped out to me was that Jesus showed compassion. He said to the widow, "Don't cry." Not only did He show compassion but He knew what was coming next. Ya know - God still knows what is coming next! So our confidence should be in Him! God knows what is coming next with Steve as well.
I trust all of you have that same confidence in God. If not please ask us about the hope within us!
Today was a good day for Steve physically that is. His oxygen level was decreased once again and his body was able to remain on a 97 pulse ox reading. Also his blood pressure is more managable. His body still has trouble with the sugar. You figure that the "kangaroo" food is high in sugar from what I understand and his inactivity as a lot to do with it. He will be on the anti-biotic for two more days. Then things should level out. Today the nurse noticed that he responded quicker. I noticed that he opened his eyes more voluntarily today as opposed to a verbal request. He can do some mouthing of words. And he does know what year it is. So progress is being made. It is smaller than the steps of a turtle but we are moving forward and that is great news.
Tomorrow should be graduation day for Steve either to St. Agnes or to Magee. We will surely keep you updated. Many of you are asking about visiting Steve. We have no problem with a visit. From what I understand - when he has visitors he knows that there is love and support.
I would ask that you call one of us, so one of us are there to enjoy the visit as well.
We thank you again for all your prayers for us. Kevin and Brandy and the kids drive in tomorrow from Ohio. Please pray for their safety.
Have a great day serving our Lord with us!

Hi Steve, Saturday while I was cutting grass at church I was thinking and praying for you. Ya gotta get better I need you. I'm glad you are making some progress. Evelyn and I pray for you all the time. Remember to hold onto the anchor of our soul, the Lord Jesus.
Love
Evelyn and Jack
We are still praying everyday for Mr. Steve. I will be in NJ this weekend and for 2 weeks. I am really hoping I can come and visit you guys. You are right that God knows what's going to happen next. Keep trusting in Him everyday. We love you all more than you know. Kevin and Brandy are in our prayers as well.
Love,
Laura
I am so uplifted by your blogs.
Steve has a great wife and family.
We love you and continue to pray to see God's wonderful hand at work through your family.
Mrs. Steve, hey there. Sounds like you guys have been through the wringer since I last checked in. It's Monday night now. I hope the kids made it to your house o.k. and I hope that this week will be filled with tender memories for all of you together. HOPE. There's that verse from Romans 5- dare I say it? about suffering. The end of the verse says and "Hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which has been given unto us." God wins. Christ wins! Christ died for us! Yea rather is risen again. Fight the good fight of faith to lay hold of eternal life. Ephesians 6:10 (one of my favorites) "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might."
Hi and big hugs to all (especially to Mr. Steve please if one of you don't mind?) Love to you all in Christ, Laura (Ellis) Milcarzyk
