I really missed all of you….. I back for as long as I can. Health has not been the best, there has been a very noticeable deterioration since last year’s vacation with my lovely wife. Trying to enjoy life and stop and smell the roses and not be caught up in all the noise of the day. I miss the fellowship with many of you……
Do you still have high blood pressure ? I don't know if you had your kidney's checked out. Your high blood pressure may come from your kidney's.

GOd's bklessings to you my good friend!

My wbnderful father-in-law, whom I have had a wonderful relationshio with for 39 years passed away yesterday morning. I am going to post separately about and for him. We an all take comfort in the knowledge that through our Lord and Savior we will all be reunited with hHim in a place where sin, and discomfort, sickness, and sorrow are no more.
Early yesterday morning, a man who has meat a lot to me over the last 39 years passed away. It's taken me all day and late into the night to get to a place where I felt I could write down my thoughts.
He was my father-in-law, Ralph N. Woodmansee. He was a good, hard working man. He was a joyful, jovial man, he was a good father who worked hard for his family...who drove big rigs until he was 80 here in the west and only stopped then because he had to stop.
He was my friend, and I loved him, and I love his wife, , for all that they did for us, when marrying their beautiful daughter, , and helping us whenever they could...from driving with Ralph as I went through college hauling beat samples with that old cab-over Peterbuilt tractor trailer, to the many good discussions we had.
Ralph was never afraid to give advise, and because of the life he lived, and his love of God and family, it was usually good advise for the both of us. He has been bed riddden the last year, and he has now returned home to our Father in Heaven and our savior Jesus Christ. Just like I know I will see my own parents there in the the Lord's good time...I know I will see Ralph there too, and I look forward to that day.
With my cancer, it is likely I will see him sooner rather than later...and that is okay. We all are born into this life and come here from our Father, and we all return to Him and our Savior. Knowing that, and loving God and His Son Jesus Christ, makes the knowledge that we all are going home to them and that if we turn to them and try and change our hearts to good, that we will all be together again...it makes the knowledge of what awaits us all something to hope for, and look forward to...though we will all miss one another...yet we will all be reunited in His love if we but turn to it.
I love you Ralph. And I will miss your happy, jovial outlook...but I will pass it on while I am here...just as you would do...and just as you did.

Thank you Jeff!!!!
I am so sorry to hear of your dear father in laws passing. We grieve since we will miss their fellowship and company, but as you say we are joyful that they are in a better place.
I would like to thank you Jeff for all the inspiration post and personal letter you have sent me. Every time I think I’m going to break down I think of your experiences and comforting words.
Your amigo
...and I thank you likewise for yours my friend.
For whatever reason for a season here, the tumors in my liver have not taken off. I am feeling more and more pain, but they are not growing at the rate that will take my life in a month or so...although at any time they could.
The ones in my pectorials, my backbone, and skin continue to grow slowly too.
I know there are some thigns God in HEaven wants me to accomplish yet...and professing His name is one of them. Also, showing my kids and grand kids that even though things are dire and even though things are hard and you may have been pronounced terminal...yu can still have a positive outlook, and hope for the future. One day, all of them will face hardship, sickness, and difficulties...I hope they remember what their Papa did when it came to for him to face his.
