Bobby and David and I went to Mt. Tamalpais Saturday night. The view is amazing. Bobby said it's one of his favorite places. We packed dinner (organic of course) and ate sitting in the grass on the top of the mountain, above the clouds
. We talked about God's magnific
ent creation. The setting sun produced beautiful shades of orange. We hiked back to the car in the dark made it down the hill and delivered him safely home. He'd had a pretty good day and so had we.

A gentleman immediately came over and introduced himself and asked what brought us to church that morning. David responded "a Ford Taurus". Turns out he was the Pastor. He seems to have a good sense of humor....at least he played along with the "Ford Taurus" comment. Anyway, we did get around to explaining what we were doing in the area.
During the service there is a time of prayer. Pastor Chris introduced us (yikes, all eyes on us...so much for sitting in the back trying to blend into the wall). He asked the congregation to pray for us and Bobby right that moment. He also asked any Deacons and Deaconesses sitting near us to come pray over us. Several people surrounded us and prayed for healing for Bobby and strength for the journey. Again at the end of the message Pastor Chris prayed for us from the pulpit. I think that is exactly where God wanted us to be. Bobby was really touched when we relayed the story. They also gave us a visitors pack that included chocolate. Really good chocolate.
So, we returned to VBC yesterday. Pastor Chris greeted us and asked how things were going and again asked for the congregation to join him in praying for Bobby. Amazing. He also asked us to tell Bobby that he would be teaching on "Perseverance" next Sunday and wanted to extend a personal invitation for Bobby to be there. P.S. no chocolate
We had a quiet afternoon. Bobby had to get his labs done for today's chemo. He has worked so hard this week to boost his immune system with good nutrition and supplements and exercise. I hope his numbers are good. I know he'll be disappointed if his white blood count has dropped significantly.
So, we wait to see.
