It's only 7:25 in the morning... but I'm encouraged by Donna's attitude and demeanor. She is ready to do whatever it takes to get well. She ordered some breakfast (a shake - it's' a start :) ), and is very lucid and alert.
Not sure how she is doing clinically, but if her mood is any indication... we are on our way!
Pray on...!
About Donna's 3rd battle with cancer...
New to this site? Here is Donna's Story...
About the Title...
Living for the Line...
God is eternal. He has always been and always will be. We are but a 'dot' in the grand scheme of things. This place is not our home. We are living with eternity in mind...

About the photo...
It was taken during a trip to Germany (March 2008) to visit some close friends. The photo is actually Salzburg, Austria. The bikers are: Emily, Emma, Erin, Donna, Phillip, Rachel, and Beth. Greg was too slow :) and Scott was taking the picture. Those are the Alps in the background. We were on a "Sound of Music" bicycle tour.
Needless to say, it was amazing. I'll try and post more pictures from this trip later.

Thank God for His encouragement!

Praise God to whom all BLESSINGS flow!!! Oh Scott such wonderful news...give Donna my love. Just tell me when on the protien shake...I'm ready . D.K.

Love, Kirk & Linda Hamilton
Still praying and thank you for the wonderful news before church!
Praise the Lord!! I prayed my way home from TN today for all of you. Blessings friends!
Praise God! And Scott and Donna let me tell you what it looks like from the "outside" here. It looks like you guys have lived such a Godly life and affect so many people. It looks like God is "on YOUR side". He has blessed you with lots and lots of people who would "drop anything" they have going to pray or help you in any way needed. It is truely amazing to see the outpour of love that comes straight from the one up above! What a testimony, what a joy! Looking forward to seeing you again,

Job 23:10. He knows the ways that Donna is taking - and she will come forth as gold.
Scott and Donna,
We've been in the wings watching and praying. Our hearts are with you both. May His Promises Be Your Peace.
Bob and Michalle
Donna, Scott & girls,
Prayers, prayers and more prayers are coming your way from Georgia!
Thanking God for the love and inspiration you share with so many people.
Love,
Carmen Ross & clan
Dear Scott, Rachel and Emily,
I just want your hearts to know that the Smileys love you! Calleja and Chloe have been praying too. Isaiah 54:10 keeps coming to mind: "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my convenant of peace be removed says the Lord, who has compassion on you." God's peace and mercy.
Scott, Donna, and girls,
Please know that we are lifting you up in prayer continually -- for healing, for strength, for peace.
Bruce and Pat Kay
May the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding guide your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus! With ALL our love and many prayers - our thoughts are with you all.

Scott, Donna and girls,
It has been more than 17 years since I was taught by "Miss O'Neal”, my favorite of all teachers. My wife and I have been on our knees in prayer and know that Christ guides every moment. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Scott!
I will be keeping Donna and your family in my daily prayers! I know you are receiving strength from all the prayers going up to the Lord on Donna's behalf.
God Bless Donna and you and your family!
Sincerely,
Angie Gonzalez
Scott - I will be praying for Donna as well as all of your family. I see how strong your faith is - it amazes me and makes me glad for you all.
Michelle McMillan
Scott, Rachel and Emily - I am so sorry for your loss, for all of our loss. Donna was always an inspiration to me (and many) and I wish I had told her so. When things looked bleakest she always found the bright spot. Her smile is always what I see when I think of her. I wish I could be as strong as she was. You are in our prayers, our whole family mourns with you.
The Bertapelle's
Liting you and your precious girls up to the Throne of the Almighty on this day. Praying for strenght and peace that passes all understanding.
Scott, Rachel and Emily,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and Donna will continue to be in my prayers. May the peace and love of God be with you. See you soon.
