We may not be blood
But you're still my brother
Now sharing our parents
Your father and my mother

My life has been blessed
By having you near
And all of the memories
I hold so dear

When this fight started
You were merely a man
That believed in winning
And doing all you can

Now you have seen
God's there on your side
You're fighting now
With Him as your guide

You never give in
You just keep going
With Him on your left
There's no sign of slowing

You've taken up arms
In the pages of The Book
For strength and comfort
God's word is where you look

I'm bound to you
By family ties
I believe in your decisions
Knowing that they are wise

I will stand beside you
Through all the long days
Knowing what you do
Is because of God's ways

For God's sweet healing
And His will I will pray
I will love you Andy
Till my dying day


So you understand, my brother has been battling cancer for the last five years and found out yesterday that it has spread to his liver, lungs, bones, brain, and is in his blood. He stopped all treatment yesterday and his faith is that God's will is what is best and he needs nothing else. When he was diagnosed they gave him 6 months and it has been five years and he has gone to work everyday and still does so anything is possible with God. Please pray for God's will in this for him and our family...

Quick note to update you all on this wonderful man and to ask for prayer...

I found out last night that my brother has an infection and is battling like crazy but there is not much they can give him that is strong enough to help him overcome it. Since he stopped treatments about a month ago he is not doing well and has been told that there is nothing more the doctors can do for him. He had to quit working yesterday and his kidneys are failing.

I know God has great things in store for him so please pray that he finds those things with the least amount of pain possible and with all of God's speed.

I can't pray for his healing as I see God's plan is to take him home but I do pray for it to be quick and merciful so his suffering can end. I only want him to have peace while he is still with us.

My thanks and love to all of you!!


this was last week

What quiet strength this man carries with him every where he goes!!

I saw Andy on Saturday and he is really having a hard time. He couldn't stand by himself yet he still smiled, he couldn't sit down by himself yet he still joked, he is in pain and can't share it with anyone else yet he still found a way to joke... He told me he knows that God carries him and he is just trying to lighten the burden and if Jesus can bear the stripes for him shouldn't he at least do as much as he can to make those stripes sting a bit less?

This man is a true blessing in my life and a miracle to this earth.

Please keep praying for him




My thanks to all of you...

My prayers are there for both of you ! God speed !

i send my prayers to you and your brother

My prayers to the whole family. Cancer has taken most all of mine and I know your heartache. My thoughts are with you always.

Prayers are on their way for you your brother and his family. May God grant him the peace that he deserves

My thanks to all of you for the continued prayers and all the love that is involved in this wonderful gift.

I talked to my mom last night as Andy was supposed to go to her house for supper but he was unable to leave his bed all day yesterday as he is terribly weak. I know God works in mysterious ways and is able to do anything so I can only pray for what is best... His will.

Father thank you for all the miracles you have put in Andy's life and for all the amazing things you are still doing for him. Lord I come humbly to you asking for Your will in the matter of his healing and life. You knew Andy long before his birth and know that he has done wonderful things and lives for You... Please have Your healing touch upon him and give him the strength and mercy he needs to make it through all he faces. I pray this in the name of Your sweet Son, Jesus Christ... Amen

Yes well God has given us authority to tread on scorpions & snakes. He has kept your borther until now & He is faithful to continue. Your brother has a great attitude toward his situation. I am reminded that when we focus on God & not our expectations He lifts us up according to His will. We can come into agreement with Him.

I'm in a place where I wasn't sure what avenue to take... I have done all & can see how God is directing me. If I stayed in being disappointment I would miss His direction & will for me. I would have given up. Keeping an open mind is so important when faced with life changing decisions & circumstances.

No matter what...keep the faith & God bless... I'm sure Jesus prayed BEFORE He spoke the miracles performed by God. Jesus knew ahead of time what the Father was going to do thru prayer.

Pray it thru - Pray it thru - Pray it thru...

Prayers going out for you and Andy.

QUickstepper... Thank you so much for giving the words you ahve to me! I so needed to hear what you had to say to keep me on the right track and in agreement that God can do all things and will do what He sees as right.

I knew these things already and am just happy to know Him and have His will in my life that there is nothing better for me to have. He gives all I have and need and does this also for Andy...

We are greatful to all of you!!

Jesus has given Andy life longer than he expected. He allowed him the joy of coninuing work, time, family and the emotional time to come to terms. When the Lord is ready...Andy will know. He will find peace...he will be calm....he will be ready. The Lord has shown himself to Andy...he has felt his presence, seen his will in action. Five years more than any Dr believed. That is God dear lady.


Jesus forgive me my sins. I ask of you with all my heart.
My prayer is for Andy to have heartfelt presence to know when to go to God through Jesus and ask for the peace we all pray for him to have. That Jesus saves this precious man undo pain and give him rest. Jesus show the love of Andy through all that know him. Show his strength, his love, his humankind to be a memory that carries on by family and friends. He lives through his life and his presence of being.
Jesus...we pray that you give calm and everlasting life to Andy. Make his journey smooth and his landing a joyous homecoming.
Through you Jesus we believe.
Amen
