Jump

Some times you just gotta. You'll get wet but that's what it's all about. Eyes open or closed, doesn't matter, it won't change whether the the float will move away. What matters is what you do when you hit the water.

You can know that it's deep enough and that those early morning summer swim lessons, in that cold pool prepared you. The float may move, but not so fast you can't catch it. The fish tickling your ankles won't stop you. It will be there when you reach for it.

The picture's from a fishing trip a couple of years ago. Kalee's cousins were jumping from a dock on Lake Sharpe, SD. It could been Francis Case, I think we were on both.

If you've been keeping Molly in your thoughts and prayers, here's some things to think about. When the cancer's gone, there will be scars left where tumors were. Hopefully the surrounding retina will settle down and the scars won't be too big. These scars are the damaged parts of Molly's retinas. Her tumors are in the macular part of her eyes, so any damage there can have profound effects. Molly has her second round of chemo in about two weeks. Please pray for continued good health until then, and in the end the scars from the tumors are small, and that Molly will be able to see.
