Howdy folks! Oh how I love you all! Some of you keep closer tabs on my well being than my church does. That makes me feel so good to have lots and lots of MyChurch friends!
Healthwise, I am doing OK but getting weaker as time goes by. I require more rest and have been placed on a higher dose of medicine to combat the daily pain I have as a result of deteriorating muscles and nerves. But my spirit remains positive and I still look forward to each day to see what new the Lord has for me to do.
Currently, I have been spending a lot of time with my hobby known as Amateur Radio; also called Ham Radio. My callsign as issued by the Federal Communications Commission is K4EET and that permits me to legally communicate via two-way radio to other licensees worldwide. Just in the past 24 hours, I have made new friends in Germany, Poland, Slovak Republic and Lithuania as well as several stations in the US.
One new friend in the US whom I met 2 days ago and have already talked to twice since then works at RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa Oklahoma. Please keep Bob and his wife, Cindy, lifted in prayer. Cindy is undergoing chemo treatments for cancer. Like Cindy, I have a "terminal" diagnosis but know that we serve a very big God and nothing is impossible with Him. Bob and I have had heartwarming discussions via radio. God is so good!
Sooooooo... Please do keep me in your prayers but know that I am alive and (literally) pushing onward. My time is limited each day as to what I can accomplish which is the reason for declined activity here. If any of you all are ham radio operators and want to chat via radio, drop me a note and we'll try to connect with you. I am also looking for a missionary "net" on ham radio. There are several that support overseas missionaries with communications to remote areas of the world without telephone service. I enjoy handling health and welfare messages for our overseas missionaries.
God bless you all and again, thanks for staying in touch with me and keeping me in your prayers. I greatly enjoy seeing your comments here and receiving E-mails from you all. Blessings to all!
In His Love,
Dave |

Dave, Great to hear from you. Wow, it sounds like you can really use that radio to be a blessing. Amazing how, in this technified world some of the original, basic communication tools are still so infinitely valuable. Enjoy your ministry with Amateur Radio & I'll be praying that your able to connect with the missionaries. God Bless. |

| Racunpoodle, your statement "Keep on hammin' for Jesus" has more truth to it that meets the eye. My last name is Hamm. You are spot on! Dave |

| Racunpoodle, while it is true that my time here has been greatly reduced, MyChurch will never be out-of-mind. I love you all too much. It is just in my condition health-wise, I can only do so much in a day. Dave |

| You know Dave health wise or not, we'd all be a lot better off if we didn't try to do way too much in a day.God was talking to me about that very subject just this morning & reading your comment just kinda reinforced that to me.Merry Christmas.Sarah |
