The reason for this blog...
My mother, Janet Metzger, was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, in April of this year. She is loved dearly by our outrageously large family and countless friends, and we thought a blog might be a good way for all of you to keep up with her. Mom is fighting this awful thing with new medicines and treatments, as well as with her unwavering faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. We'll post updates about how mom is doing, what treatments she is undergoing, what she is cooking for dinner, you name it. We'll also link you to books mom is reading that are encouraging her in her faith, like "A Praying Life" by Paul Miller, which is re-teaching us both how to pray. We hope that this will be an outlet for her to share what she is going through and what God is doing in her life through it, as well as a way for you to stay in touch with her and to know how to pray for her. More tomorrow, including the reason for the title. That is, if mom lets me go on with this! Blessings-Shannon

Its seems like we can't get enough of each other so the other night Laurie and I went over to Janet's and Paul's with food and a bunch of teenagers and sat around made each other laugh and be silly. But the thing that got me is how much we have all grown to love and care for one another if there was any differences between us it no longer exists, if there was any jealousy its gone if there was any coveting now its you can have it. The love that is there is so God and if anything comes from these experiences is the love that Jesus Christ has shown all of us. I see strength in Janet and Paul and the grace of God upon them that can only come from above. Its so exciting to see how God moves especially if your looking. I'm always here for the both of you just call be there in a flash. Love Carol
