Dear John:

Our saint-mike.org domain went down as we moved to a new server. It was a nightmare getting some of the elements moved over and re-configured. There are still areas that not not up yet. It will take another week to two to get it all back up. I hope to have that done by September 25th.

On your suggestion: I have been wanting to do that, but a daily video is impossible. I will be hard pressed to do it once a week. My health just will not allow it. If I do anything, it would be occasional.

The other problem is that I have problems with my throat and causes me to cough a lot. I am on medication, but it does not always work well. If the coughing was once-in-while I could use a "cough-button" for radio work. On video, I'd have to manually edit each cough. That is really labor-intensive.

So, except for an occasional radio or video presentation, I'd have to do it as a limited workshop series and not as a daily, or even weekly program, but I might try weekly again, maybe.

Concerning my health: Thank you for your concerns and prayers. My health continues to deteriorate. I have fallen a few times. For one fall, in which I could not get up no matter how I tried, I had to call 911.

In another fall, I hit my knee hard. This made worse the serious arthritis in that knee. The doctor was surprised that I could walk with that knee before my fall. The fall, however, has left me in a wheel chair most of the time. I use crutches for very short distances, like getting from the house to the car or going into my bedroom.

This, of course, has severely increased my lack of mobility to do much of anything, even clean house. Fortunately, I can work on the computer sitting down. 

I have a home health nurse over every other week who is paid by the Veteran's Administration, and I hope the VA will pay for a homemaker, who can do some cleaning. I will not hold my breath on that one.

You prayers are appreciated.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
