What goes up...

Sorry for my lack of posting.  Of course when life is going too well, something always has to happen to bring us back down to earth.  Joel and I are currently on emergency leave tending to his brother.  He has been battling cancer for years, and just when we thought he had won his battle, a virus reared his ugly head and has taken over his body.  If you wouldn't mind, would ya'll say a little prayer for him?  Things don't look good, but his doctors only gave him a few days to live on Wednesday, and he is still hanging in there.  They did an experimental procedure, and we are waiting for the test results.  If it works, it would be a miracle, but there's always hope until there isn't, you know?
