Today I got to hold the hand of my best friend as she crossed the finish line into the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ.....please take good care of her. I thank Him for the 21 years I have known her (married 19 on June 20th), and been blessed to love, cherish, and share my life with her. The last three and a half years taught us to know that nothing is for sure in life....please don't let life pass you by...enjoy it! Many people marveled at her inner strength....she would be the first to tell you that it was not her strength you see, but Jesus. Sheri would not force Jesus down your throat, it was not her way. She chose to live her faith every day. She would want you to know her Jesus....she is with Him now.....teaching, singing, walking, organizing.....and maybe even going to Stehekin. You should know I would not trade where we've been for anything, I would do it all again for her.
I will post details of Sheri's service in the next few days.
As always....looking up!

Time for an update.......
The original intent of this blog was to keep people informed, and to squelch the rumor mill...
You must know that we are continuing to look up, and trust God. Many of you have asked where we go from here, that's a good question, with unclear answers. Sheri's continues to fight, she finished with chemo three weeks ago, and is focused on getting well, and she's taking the rest of the school year off to do so. Every person's story is different, so trying to predict where this path leads seems irresponsible, and unproductive. Many times on here we have asked you all to look up with us....we are asking you to continue....don't look down. We've known this was a long race, for three and a half years we've battled....we are in a definite uphill section of the race. Sheri is choosing to focus on getting well, as do we all with her.....choosing to look at the jagged rocks below does us no good. We are well aware of the enemy we fight against. Many times before Sheri has defied the odds, bucked the trend, and walked proudly across the lines drawn in the sand before her. If you support her, you will continue to look up with her.
Pray for her strength, and stability. Each day we lay our situation at His feet, knowing He is God, and we are not.
Have faith and look up, even when it's hard to, and asking you to as well.
