Let me first of all thank you for all your support and prayers.  It is the love that I feel from you that reminds me what a wonderful congregation I've been called to serve. 

A quick update as to my condition.  I still have a fever of unknown origin at least once every 24 hours. As I stated before I've been assured that I am not contagious.  I will continue to consult with the infectious disease doctor as well as other physicians to get to the bottom of this illness.

I want to thank the session and staff of St. Luke's for keeping the church moving forward while I've been out and I want to say a special thank you to Bill Wade for covering the pulpit during my absence. And I would be remiss if I didn't thank Jim Mayer for helping with visitation. It is my hope that I will be in the pulpit this Sunday; however, this is not a guarantee. But I know either way that with your continued prayers and support I will continue to get better and we as a congregation can move forward into the coming season of Easter.
