<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> What a surfeit of get well
thoughts that are shared from those who've joined you on, "The Journey to the
East." </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Those who have a way with words are
truly prayers that speak from the innards of us all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Your real healing may have
started years ago when you and your best-friend-clarinet sat in the backyard
of Kwang Yung il and you tooted a tune. The healing lay in the
practice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> If you can put on your
spirit/ears you'll also receive a deep blessing from a short--but true--story.
During our year assignment to Seoul, we had a young musician staying with us who
was auditioning with the Seoul Symphony. His instrument was the oboe.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Each morning around 4 a.m., he
started warming himself and his instrument using the next hour to play nothing
but scales. Then, for the next 30 minutes he played his audition
piece.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The mournful, plaintive sound of
the oboe awakened us all and left us floating in the sonority of that beautiful
duo of soul and sound. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I have a deep suspicion that
this is a metaphor of your life and ministry. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> You and Wanda make beautiful
music that continues to serve us well. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> You've led me to the deeps and
rubbed my nose in service for which I am doubly glad. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Inner Peace,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Bill and Beverly</FONT></DIV>

invites you to celebrate George’s becoming part of the 1% .......whose
Pancreatic Cancer was found early at stage 2 by our Asian Primary Care
Doctor Sheila Shung who found it by requesting a CTC scan one day, an MRI
the next day, and setting up an appointment the next day with surgeon, Dr
Declan Fleming of Texas Oncology who performed the Laparoscopic Surgery to
remove 1/2 of his Pancreas where the cancerous Tumor was located along with
his Spleen, a few Lymph Nodes and blood vessels at the new Dell Seaton UT
Medical Center Hospital in downtown Austin (new Medical School that opened
in May) on Friday, September 8th, He received exceptional care from all the
Hospital staff (and medical students too). Plus our day to day care from our
wonderful daughter Sarai (our very own family Nurse). George is home now,
and on a recovery plan for the next 2 to 3 months. ....encouraged by the
good news the day he left the hospital this week that the biopsies taken
confirmed the cancer had not spread to other parts of his body. The next
steps will be to watch closely for signs of it returning, but no Chemo or
radiation recommended. We were also able to be home in time to celebrate the
life of our son Chris who died from stage 4 Prostate Cancer two years ago on
September 13, 2015.</SPAN></DIV>
