Open Sesame???

Alright. So we have been consistently honoring God with 5% at first, currently at 7% (with a 10% thrown in one week being wacky), and it's been rough. No lies there. Bills still aren't great, but they are getting paid. Making some financial mistakes, but that stupidity, and that's not really His fault. We have food and clothing and entertainment. We have been faithful, trusting we will not be forgotten and that our sacrifice will come back with abundance. It's been pretty easy for Kath - not so simple for me, but I am surviving (and still thinking I should dive after the bag once in a while).

It's possible, though, that first "return" may be a-coming.

For those that know, and those that don't, my wife has Parkinson's disease. Diagnosed about 9 years ago. Started as a tremor in her left hand and has slowly progressed through her body. Medications help (somewhat), but her "ON" times are less and less, she only works part time, and even that is a struggle. To be blunt - she hates this d**m disease.

Well, a couple weeks back, she caught this little report before heading out to work. She had me pull it up and I watched it. Mr. Optimist Me (insert sarcasm here) mentioned that the end of the video said it was a while off because the doc needed to write up his findings, apply for clinical trials, blah-blah-blah. And for those that wonder - Kath NEVER listens to me. For those that wonder - not listening makes her the smartest person in the world - and not just in this case. She actually called the doctor's office about this report and they took her information down for future callback about the testing of this possible treatment. Kath just told me today that she was called back and she's in. Testing hopefully starts next month.

So I will keep you all posted.
