A word from Anita and a new Along the Journey from Jack

Jack has posted a new Along the Journey for us and Anita has these words of update:

As usual, Jack’s week has been a roller-coaster with good and bad days.

The more difficult times seem to be gaining ground as he continues to lose weight, grow weaker and experience a constant queasiness. A low-grade fever has indicated some infection and although it has been treated with antibiotics, it still lingers.

Through it all, Jack’s spirit has not diminished and he is still wanting to care for me and the world. He continues to walk in the morning, but now is using the selection of canes that he or friends have collected from over the world. He also has found many resting spots along his short journey to collect the morning paper. He is now unable to walk in the evening and is resting more frequently throughout the day and the long nights.

He and I both send our love and gratitude for your love and faithful prayer.

Anita and
