More Update
Lisa again. Praise God!!! Brad has had a much better day today--sat up in his chair for a while, participated in some quiet games, and didn't require the heavy meds. Thank God for answered prayers! We are waiting with hopeful hearts that he will continue to improve. I have spoken with Jenny regarding the many people who are anxious to call, visit, or help--and the entire family is soooo grateful for all of you--what an awesome thing to have so many loving friends!! However, they do request not a lot of phone calls to specifically speak with Brad-he has a hard time keeping a conversation due to the breathing. While we know that there are many of you who would like to visit, we ask for limited visits at this time due to Brad's need to rest. What they do ask for is words of encouragement for Brad via either his email or this blog--speak directly to him, whethor it's fighin' words or a prayer--he would thrive from that. Thank you again for all of your loving care and concern--words can not express how grateful this family is for such a show of love towards Brad and Jenny.

We will continue to pray without ceasing for you and Jenny, your children and parents. God Bless Dorothy & Bubba Kay
Thank you Lisa
Brad,
It's Katy (Milstead) Vein from Chicago. I spent summers with you and Jenny at camp and youth functions and you have always been a leader and a fighter. I admire your family so much! Continue to fight this and we'll continue to fight via prayer!! Exodus 14:14!
Brad-
You don't know me from a fly on the wall but you used to play softball with my brother-in-law, Troy, and my sister is good friends with Lacie (and Trey)P. I have been reading(lurking :) )on your blog for awhile and praying for you. There is no stopping me now and I will keep doing so. :)
You are a such a fighter and an inspiration to us all. May you continue to get better with each passing second. The prayers will still be coming.....

Brad,
You have touched so many people in this life, and I perceive that won't stop anytime soon. I have close college friends who know you, Jenny, and your parents. I'm in awe at how many people are praying for you to fight and win this battle, so retaliate with all the determination you can muster.
With God on his side, David went to battle with Goliath. And with one stone he beat him. A boy beat a giant. So I have continued hope that the day will come for you where you will be left on that battlefield with a giant laying in front of you. Because Jenny is definitely that solid, spirited, and courageous rock by your side. Together with God you can battle this cancer inside of you.
With all my love,
Robin and Johnsons at Lakewood
Praise God for a better day! Brad-You are definitely a faithful fighter! We pray for you constantly and will continue to do so.
We're praying for you, Brad.
Praise Him for today's good day.
Hugs,

Praise God! Prayers continue to go up on your behalf.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
Brad - Clay and I are praying for healing. You have an awesome family and you are all well-loved.
Jenny - I was talking to my dad about you guys and he said, "Is that the same Jenny who took a bunch of pictures at your wedding?" I can't believe he remembered you doing that, but apparently you made an impression. Keep the faith.
Brad, you probably don't remember me. I went to school with you. I am a couple of years younger then you but I do remember you from being a Brig Manager. My sister and you gradutated together she was in brig as well.
I am praying that God will work wonders in your life. I pray that you fight harder then you have ever fought before. May GOD take extra specail care of you and your family.
Hey, Brad! Just want you to know how much we love you and that we are praying for you big time! We know your spirit is strong and that you still have some fight in you, so fight on! We praise God for the bit of relief you have had today, and beg him for more tomorrow. We're not afraid to beg our Father, and we know He hears us. Skip and Nell
Brad,
Keep fighting the good fight. We are praying for you. Matt and Laurie Hemphill

You are in all of our prayers. Our church's prayer team has been praying for you all, the ministers ask about you all each Sunday.
Love all your pictures on the blog and I always play the A&M fight song. Reminds us of our great trip to the VT / A&M game. I always tell our friend that it was one of our best trips.
KEEP FIGHTING
WE LOVE YOU ALL.

Brad,
We are so grateful that you are feeling better today! Keep fighting,and we are praying non-stop for you!
We visited Aggieland yesterday and I was standing in front of the Academic building where we always had Devo, and I smiled as I remembered all of our great times at A&M. We love you all so much!
We were discussing with the Perkins last night how much you bless everyone you come into contact with, and I just wanted to make sure you know that you bless us, and we love you so much! You are such a great beacon of light for all you know, and we love you!We are in constant prayer for you, our dear friends!
We loved the Christmas card too!!!

Brad, You're an amazing fighter! I've seen a lot of fighters and you have more spunk. That combined with such awesome prayer are an avenue for God to heal. I will continue to pray for you, your family, and easier days of breathing. We love you. Please call or email if there is anything I can do to help you!!!! You are in all of our prayers at OPT!
Much love to you! Jen Gordon and the crew.
yippee! That is a great update. Dear God, please continue to relieve Brad's discomfort and please heal his body. Keep Jenny and the kids and Brad in your hands and watch over them.
Brad, Jenny, and Family,
This is my first post (ever on any site). Karen & I want you to know just how much we love all of you and that there is not one single day that we do not lift your names before the Father. Words are words but prayers mean everthing to our Lord. We will continue to ask for healing.
We are at a loss for great words of comfort yet are reminded of David and Sandra and how they always knew just what to say and even what not to say. They were such a huge support to us during a great storm in our life ... more than one storm I might add. We will continue to speak to the Father for all of you and we do know that He hears all our prayers and He cares more than we can understand. We know He is with you during this great fight and will give you strength and comfort.
Love ... Sonny & Karen
Brad & Jenny,

Dear Brad,
I have left Jenny a few comments before although you neither one know me personally. Our faith has brought us together as family and I have followed your awesome earthly battle through this blog. Trey and Lacie Pitchford told us of you and we have been praying for you and your precious family. You are certainly the most courageous guy that I have known! I know you are proud of your family too. The way they have all stepped up to help you. You are indeed blessed to have so many people love you and also to know that so many are praying for your healing and peace. You just keep it up. Our Lord has the answers. It's a good thing too since we have so many questions.
Brad here is an Episcopal prayer for you. Brad and Jenny you have touched my life so deeply with your faith and abiding love.
Praying without waiver.
O Father of mercies and god of all comfort, our help in time of need: We humbly beseech thee to behold, visit, and relieve thy sick servant Brad for whom our prayers are desired. Look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy; comfort him with a sense of thy goodness; and give him patience under his affliction. In thy good time, restore him to health, and enable him to lead the residue of his life in thy fear, and to thy glory; through Christ our Lord. Amen
Brad-
We are sending you prayers of strength, courage and healing. You have such a beautiful family. Keep the faith.
