cherished memories attached to your existence. I am so thankful for the beauty
of your friendship. . .for the warm glow you bring to my heart. . .for the
light you shed on my pathway. . .for the color and sparkle you add to the
events we share in. . .for the joy you bring to my pain. I love my decorations.
. .I'm sentimental so even though I love getting "new decorations" I
will always treasure those I first found at the beginning of my life. . .and
someday my "new decorations" will be old friends with memories
galore.</span><span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: "Old English Text MT"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl; mso-themecolor: accent2;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy";"><span style="color: #990000;">Lots of things have happened since I
last put my thoughts on my blog.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy";"><span style="color: #990000;">My brother-in-law, Melvin Gregory
Martin, passed away from brain cancer on Christmas day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Greg was a good man and we spent many, many
hours at the hospital with he, Rachel and the kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was a hard time, but also a good time as we all drew closer to the Lord
and to one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="color: #990000;">Together we fought
the battle rather than succumbing to defeat . . .we decided to stand together
as servants of the Lord and allow Him to give us victory over the circumstances
we could not change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Lord was
faithful to help us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had many times
of worship at Greg’s bedside as he was going through hospitals and all kinds of
treatments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Greg was able to keep his
contact with the Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He kept his
spirit right toward the Lord and was willing to allow the Lord to give him
strength daily. His wife, Rachel, was there at his side most all the time. .
.his son, Eric was a soldier helping his father keep focus during the really
rough times. ..Joanie and Bethany were there lifting him up too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Greg’s whole family and their spouses were
wonderful blessings to Greg during his final journey home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

2013.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was attended by many as he was
well loved by all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He always was able to
make people laugh with his stories and he had many, many songs from the Lord
which blessed God’s people through the years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="definition">Men have to be stronger than their wives in order to lead them and their entire family</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">into paths of righteousness. . .</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">My dad was a strong man. . .he had five children and he was strong enough</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">to set the correct example for them.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Dad always went to church if the doors were open. . .he always participated in</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">every work project at the church. . .he gave offerings. . .</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">he paid tithes. . .his home was open to God's people to spend the</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">night. . .or the week. . .Dad didn't have much money but he was rich.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">God gave him a wife who supported his desire to be an <em>overcomer</em>.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">We always had food on our table, clothes that were clean and pressed, a car for transportation. . .plenty of space in our home for love.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Dad put the Lord's work first and we kids saw that. . .all five of Dad's kids are serving the Lord. . .they all value the church. . .Dad and Mom had a lot to do with it.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Dad didn't spend time chasing foolish dreams that the world would try to sell him.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">He had found what really mattered, and it was what he pursued.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">

<span class="definition">and honored. . .and she was. . .she just worked with him creating harmony in the home.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Men have to be the leaders in setting the value of "time" given to God.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">What would a man give up "God's time" for?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">(By "God's time" I mean time he should be giving to God's work.)</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Would he give it up for more money?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Would he give it up to keep peace with his spouse?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Would he give it up for a fishing trip? A game of golf?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">A kid's sporting practice?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Would a father give up his example of faithfulness to Christ in order</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">that his kid could be a soccer player? Or a basketball player?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Would he rather his children play for the world than be on God's team?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Our choices are so important!</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">We are planting our children "in" something by the decisions we make</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">for/with them. </span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">We need to realize each program we place our children</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">in is either leading them closer to God or away from him.</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">We are training them how to make decisions on their own. </span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Ask them questions. . .If you participate in this activity will it cause you</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">to miss out on church functions? Church services? Youth outings?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">Will it require that you do things that violate your conscience. . .your standards?</span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">This old world is a rough place for kids to grow up. . .they NEED </span></div>
<div class="VerseText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="definition">direction from their fathers (and mothers) to help them <span class="definition">do justly, love mercy and</span></span></div>

<div align="center">
After all these years we are still working on loving one another with a pure</div>
<div align="center">
love. . .and working together to build up God's church.</div>
<div align="center">
I am so thankful that through all the storms of life. . .and there have been</div>
<div align="center">
times when we felt like jumping ship instead of patching the holes. . .</div>
<div align="center">
but God has given us the grace to stand together and face our problems.</div>
<div align="center">
Tom has been a faithful husband, and I, a faithful wife. . .</div>
<div align="center">
faithful to each other and to the vows we made to the Lord.</div>

<div align="center">
Before Doug and Stan both found their wives I wrote a song</div>
<div align="center">
for them to sing to their Brides. I actually felt like the Lord</div>
<div align="center">
gave it to me for them. . .and others.</div>
<div align="center">
I still feel the Lord when I sing it and I know it was the Lord</div>
<div align="center">
who gave Tom and I the blessing of the life we've shared. </div>
<div align="center">
At our wedding Bro. Hetzel (Nev's dad) prayed for Tom</div>
<div align="center">
and I to always have a home open to God's people.</div>
<div align="center">
He really got in the spirit during prayer and God has given</div>
<div align="center">
us the opportunity to welcome God's people through the years.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here are the words to the song. . .</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<em>"To have and to hold, dear,</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>In sickness and health.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>To raise up a family and make God our wealth.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>To establish our home, Love, with Christ by our side. . .</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>This is my purpose as I make you my bride.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em></em> </div>
<div align="center">
<em>My eye will be single,</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>My heart will be true.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>Everything that I have, Love, I'll share it with you.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>In this life together, we'll work for the Lord,</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>'Til death do us part, Dear, I give you my word.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em></em> </div>
<div align="center">
<em>Walking together, each step of the way.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>Sharing each other with each passing day.</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>Living and loving through laughter and tears. . .</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em>Best friends and lovers all the rest of our years."</em></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The first time Tom and I noticed each other we were just in the first (me)</div>
<div align="center">
and third (Tom) grades. . .</div>
<div align="center">
then it was kind of a life long interest. . .</div>
<div align="center">
I would always notice if he started flirting with some other girl. . .</div>
<div align="center">
and he didn't like it when I was flirting with another boy.</div>
<div align="center">
So we've mostly, always been sweethearts. . .</div>
<div align="center">
except for those few days we'd argue and seeminly have no heart at all. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Baby Douglas Andrew Hanna is being dedicated to the Lord</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by his daddy as his Uncle Denny</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
helps pray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll have more pictures if I get them from Sarah and Chad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a very sweet dedication with the other kids</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
singing and signing "My Name Is ________God Created Me".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sarah gave a talk honoring her dad and I and saying she wanted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to hold a standard in her home that her children could feel secure in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bro. Gary Wright had preached a wonderful message on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
holding the truths of God's Word high.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How we had to be willing to stand for righteousness and not bow down to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the lawlessness of the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a great service. . .as was Saturday night. . .and Sunday night was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
POWERFUL!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It doesn't pay to miss a single service because God</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is getting us ready to walk with Him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully I'll have more pictures to post of the kids and Sarah</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as they were singing.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a sweet gift from a sweet young lady.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Robin, Eric's wife, made Janet and I some jars of jelly</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some dish cloths. . .just because she loves us.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We do love her too.</div>

She's always doing something good for others.</div>

Robin mows for Greg and Rachel. . </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keeps up the yard for them. . .</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and they have a BIG yard if you've never seen it!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some people just like to bless others. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;">Here's Jesse on the drum set he finally got for his birthday. . .last night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><em>(It took us a long time to decide what to get him but he waited patiently since July 2</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><em>and they arrived July 31, 2013. In kid's time that's a l-o-n-g wait. . .</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><em>but Grandparents are sometimes s-l-o-w. We wanted to get something</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><em>he either needed or would help him learn something of value.)</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">After he'd played on them for only a few minutes </span><span style="color: #990000;">he told his dad, "I'm getting better already!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">According to Jesse, Kathryn was teaching him how to play.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">(not that she's ever played the drums before)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Well. . .Becky said the drums were very nice and definitely very LOUD.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Sometimes little boys grow up enjoying the same things. . .like drums. . .their fathers enjoyed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">I'm not sure if its the sound of the drums or the beat or just music in general.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Jesse's daddy sure loved his drums and he would drive his sister crazy playing them</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">late a night. . .and into the early hours of the morning.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Sometimes he would put his headphones on so he could hear the church he was</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">drumming. . .but all we heard was the drums!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">That was when Sarah would complain. . .and sometimes Tom and I.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">I am glad though, for all the time he spent in our home playing the drums and being content to be there. . .in the home. . .with his family.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">I am thankful for all the years he used his ability to bless God's people.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">I hope Jesse will do that in the years ahead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">I hope Jesse learns to play the "song" and not just beat the drums. . .</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">his daddy was a master at that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">He would make the words of the song more emphatic by accenting or</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">playing softly so the message would <span style="background-color: white;">be clear</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">in the mind of the hearer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">His dear old dad, Tom Peach, taught him that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Tom would say feel what the Lord is wanting to emphasize and work with Him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Now it 's Stan's turn to teach Jesse how to worship the Lord on the cymbals</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">and drums. . .God is good.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">Here he and George Thomas get ready to eat</span></div>

<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">PaPaw. . .a fun filled day for us all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">PaPaw designed this car all by himself with Grandma giving a few</span><br />
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">suggestions. . . but he was the creator.</span><br />
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">They didn't get it completed that day but they were able to play</span><br />
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">on it a bit. . .PaPaw put the push bar and steering handle</span><br />
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: Bookworm;">on later that week. . .and did the fancy paint and lettering job.</span></div>

The reason I'm reaching back out is because there has been a video made about my story and my mission to spread hope to others. If you’re interested, I think it would be a great follow-up for your readers who saw the original post from me. My mission here is truly to spread hope to those who need it, and this video could not be a better testament to my goal. I believe I am a perfect example that with hope, the odds don’t matter.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Greg Martin. . .a man of God. . .worthy of our prayers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Our family just found out (Saturday) our dear brother, Greg, has a brain lesion / tumor about the size of a Lima bean.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">It has been causing him to have lots of problems with stroke -like symptoms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">They have been doing lots of testing to determine if this is the only problem or if it is part of a more exensive problem.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The doctors are giving him meds to reduce the inflammation around the tumor, which is causing the symptoms he's experiencing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The doctors want to do surgery on him this week. . .but Rachel and Greg are going to have him transferred to</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">another hospital downtown if possible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">They would like to use the same doctor, Murphey, that did Darlena's surgery.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Please pray for Greg, Rachel, Eric, Joanie and Bethany and their families especially. . .</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">There are so many decisions to make and they want to make the best ones.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Greg has written many beautiful songs for God's people to enjoy. . .he sings really well. . .plays the trumpet in the church band. . .Greg can give excellent edifying talks and even some preaching when the Lord</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">kicks him in gear. . .through the years Greg and Rachel helped head up the Porter Hee-Haw that Bro. Patton</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">and Bro. George Wright loved so much. . .they are just good workers in God's kingdom.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The Friday before Greg went into the hospital they'd just returned from the Gospel of the Kingdom work week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Greg is the life of the party type guy. . .everyone loves to hear him tell stories about anything because</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">he just has a way with words. . .he brings laughter to the table. . .we love him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Please join us in prayer!</span></td></tr>
