Dear Mr. Phil,

it is so good to hear your special drum rhythm among Mr. God's motley crew!

What you are saying is indeed encouraging about dealing with 
diabetes. While it apparently not an error in the labwork, I do think 
we can get the sugar under control. I think it was relying too much 
on me eating easy white rice meals instead of my regular soy and 
potatoes caused the problem in the first place. I told Chris and also 
our doc that if the problem could be controlled by diet, I would do 
so and could. I inherited my late dad's hard head  on controlling 
diet when his colesterol had been found too high and my papito's - 
old Ned's (alive and kicking) . It is encouragement. You guys are just great.

in his grip of grace!
