Something to laugh at



I hope you don't mind my posting another video. We officially made our first movie tonight, Toy Story UFC. It's my youngest son's epic battle between Buzz Lightyear and Zurg. I know most of you come to hear about Jes, so I apologize if this is a bit out of sorts. Personally, we need something to laugh at right now. This is it.

Jeseca is doing alright. We're concerned that the cancer is spreading to her heart or left lung. I don't know how much more she can take. For now, she is still the most amazing, courageous woman on the planet. Father, how much more?

What's in there?



Easter was a lot of fun. After The Rock's service with special guest, LaDanian Tomlinson, we all headed back to my mom's place for dinner and a hilarious Easter egg hunt. My son and nephew had a lot of fun, and some huge smiles afterward as you can see. (I changed the video so you could see their sweet faces.)

I will have a much more serious video coming this week, and I will need your help getting the word out. I would like to ask people all over the world to join me in a prayer of healing for Jeseca on May 1st. Please watch for it. It will be my second attempt at using YouTube (God help me, I can't stand that site) to share a video. This one will be much more important.

Until then...JG

Who's the man?

Here it is, very early Easter morning, and as I think about what we are celebrating today, I can't help but imagine how difficult it must have been for Jesus to endure all that He went through just for my sake. Amazing love...thank you, Lord.

Two nights ago, Jeseca awoke gasping for air in the middle of the night. It was exactly the same type of episode that sent us to the ER before. I sprang up and immediately started asking God for help and mercy. Then I started rebuking the enemy. Jeseca later told me she thought it was Satan trying to choke her to death. I don't doubt it.

This particular episode came just hours after we were encouraged by the account of a 30-year-old man who had to endure months of pain from cancer that the doctors told him would end his life. Just like Jeseca, this man (Mark, I believe) heard from God that he would be healed. While he was forced to go well beyond his comfort zone (the pain got pretty bad and he lost the use of one of his arms), God fully restored his health. We felt much better about our situation after reading Mark's story; just hours later we were praying for her life. I just can't stand the enemy!

Oh well. Today we celebrate the rising of our Lord and Savior from the dead. Who's the man?! Jesus!
