Where We Are Now
After finding and remediating mold twice in our Colorado home, we abandoned ship in October 2008. Because of the high levels of exposure, our entire family was affected. After months of seeing different specialists for all of the problems, we came to Arizona to begin comprehensive treatment to rid our bodies of the toxic buildup. In August 2009 we moved into a larger home, four bedrooms, south of Tucson, north of Mexico. I am doing my daily radio program/ writing from that location. Thanks for praying for us. We really feel it.

The Wrights invited us to their house last night for another "movie night." Colin, Brandon, and Kaitlyn took their reports they'd been working on about rattlesnakes and Gila monsters and presented them to an adoring crowd. Then we watched Bolt.
The Wrights have no reason to befriend us. They just heard about our situation and have invited us into their lives. Mr. Wright has had diabetes since he was young, so Colin feels like he has a pal. They cooked popcorn for us, slathered with butter, and put out fresh fruit. Last night it was juicy grapes.
They listened attentively to the reports and asked questions of the presenters. Then we watched the movie, which they seemed to love. As we drove home, Kristen said, "I think watching movies with other people is more fun."
"Yeah, I liked to hear Mr. Wright laugh," Colin said.
I gave Mrs. Wright an advance copy of June Bug. It was really all we had to offer, except to eat their food and sit in their chairs and enjoy the sound of people laughing.

Mr.Fabry you are so wrong when you say you have nothing to offer, you and your family offer more than you think you do. You live your life in way that is an example to many. Like having faith in God when the going goes tough, sticking to your wife in good times and in bad, raising children that do not whine even when most of the things they treasure have vanished, in the willingness and tenacity to start over from scratch in your middle age, showing that family and friends are what is most important when all the worldly goods and even health go away. I wish you would run for office. The world needs people like you. I am so tired of people in office who are hypocrites both on the left and the right. Especially the right, since most are supposed christians and espouse christian values. Your story is a tamer version of a modern day Job. And like him, you chose to uphold the Lord. I am 100% sure your future will be many times blessed than your past. Your family humbles me, you and your wife and especially your children inspire me and many others by just living your lives. I will never again take my blessings especially my health and my family's for granted. God bless you and yours. Thank you.
Hey brother, you have an awesome set of neighbors there. God is sovereign in everything. The bad works out for a new relationship with new people that He can touch through you and family which in turn they bless you all. The right stuff.
AMEN I second that opinion!
