Welcome to A Gravel Road Journey!

NOT SO LONG AGO, Dad RE-named his art studio, "A Gravel Road Studio", and so this seemed an appropiate title for his blog.

Why 'Gravel Road'? As Dad explains, "Gravel roads take us off life's busy highway and force us to slow down. When we slow down we have time - time to notice the things around us; the things that matter the most; life and breath, the flowers and the trees. Gravel roads allow us to taste the dust of our travel and give us time to breathe."

Since his studio is a place of quiet reflection and contemplation, we wanted to create a space for family and friends to do the same as we journey together down this new and unknown path. We also wish to keep family and friends updated on his diagnoses and treatment, so please check in often for updates and new information.

Dad's Out of Surgery

Hi Everyone,

Just got a call from Mom, and Dad is out of surgery from the biopsy. He's in recovery and doing well. They're just waiting for a bed to open up and he'll be moved to the step-down unit. Thank you all so much for your prayers. We are very thankful that the procedure went well and hope to get the results so that Dad can start treatments early next week.

Thanks from all of us!

Thanks Dana for these updates. How fitting Gerald should be reading Romans 8 on Wednesday evening. What comfort, what testimony- Brennan's closing prayer too! You all, and especially Gerald, are very much in our communal and personal prayers. Ray P.
