Update for 10-6-06

We arrived yesterday with no problems and although we had thunderstorms on and off we did go through Zion National Park yesterday afternoon and had dinner in the restaurant in Zion Lodge. Joe had a headache most of the day yesterday and for those of you who know him he has SAD which means rainy days are not good. On top of this his camera jammed and the lens won't come out. Taking pictures is a huge value to Joe so please pray that either we can get it fixed in this tiny town today or he will be happy with borrowing Ed's camera. Even in the rain, the cliffs are spectacular and we got in a 2 mile walk between the storms along the Virgin River that runs all through the park. Our pastors daughter, Debby, sang a song at church recently and I can't get the words out of my head it said "light your candle, run to the darkness" I think for me this means for Joe to feed his body healthy food that God originally intended us to eat and it will run to the cancer and it will be dark no more. All night I kept waking up to the words of this song so I must need these words today. Thanks to all who are praying and caring. We are back to Zion this morning and then on to Brice this afternoon.
