A few of you have said that you would like to post comments on this blog, but are unsure now to do this. Here is how:
1. Click below the post you wish to comment under where it says either "No Comments" or indicates how many comments are already posted (ex. "2 Comments")
2. This will take you to a page where you can type your comment in a text window.
3. After writing your comment, below the window it says "comment as:" and then there is a button that probably says "google account." This is asking you to sign in through google, but you can skip this if you wish. When you hit that button, a drop down menu of options should appear, one of which is "anonymous." Select this option. This is the easiest way to comment without having to sign in. Just be sure to include your name in your actual comment above so we know who you are!
4. You will then be taken to a page where you'll have to re-enter a code from a random word they give you. This is just to verify that you're a real, living person and not some robot. :)
We would love to hear from you. The only thing we do request is that you refrain from posting medical advice or resources (web links, etc.). We are getting really steady information from so many doctors and nurses already that its sometimes hard to keep things from getting foggy or overwhelming. Please just use the comments to pass along your support and love to my mom and dad. Thank you!

Dear Steve,Nancy,Tim,Flora,Becky and Alex
ReplyDeleteWe are now back from the Congo and so appreciate catching up on Steve's progress in your wonderful blog. Know that we are keeping you all in our prayers and wishing we could be there ( like your many other friends) helping, hugging, and ministering to you all. The love the Lord is pouring out on Steve through his amazing family and friends makes us weep in gratitude for the Lord's compassion and tenderness towards him. The TLC you are all providing is an inspiration to everyone who is reading his blog and a great avenue for us all to know how to pray for him and for you. Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated. We love you all and hope on our way north in mid April that we might be able to hug some of you. We won't impose and will call before we'd stop by. xoxoxxox from Dave and Margo representing all those who care and can't be there and wish we could.
We have been traveling, but are now back in town. Besides praying, how can we help? Maybe a break from hospital food for Nancy and family? We can deliver - just tell us when and where. Thinking of you all and praying daily. Pat and Art DiMartile
