Tuesday, July 9th
Another beautiful morning with chances of storms throughout the day.
I'm not sure if the DM diagnosis was confirmed yesterday at the U of M...Paul and I left the Drs office more confused than ever.
Currently I have no muscle changes seen in the biopsies...GREAT NEWS!
I do show muscle weakness but my Dr thinks the steroids are causing the weakness not the DM. He want me to eventually tapper the prednisone down to five mg.
After the tapper he thought I would get my strength back.
Before leaving the U I gave additional blood to check my CPK count. I also scheduled another appointment in 4 months with Neurology. I have a rheumatologist appointment scheduled on August 22nd at Gunderson.

Today's Bible Study
Standing on Our Principles
Read | Revelation 2:12-17
We all admire men and women of principle who are ready to pay a heavy price for what they believe. At the same time, we do well not to trust everyone who displays conviction. As we see all too often in the news, it is possible to have unsound beliefs that are not based on Scripture.
Even as Christians, we have to be careful, or we could easily mistake personal preferences for convictions. We cannot afford to build our life’s foundation with any materials that are not totally scriptural. The apostle Paul told us that the quality of each man’s work will be tested by fire (1 Cor. 3:13), and that includes what we believe.
Such a test came to a church in a little town called Pergamum in Asia Minor. It was a foul place—Jesus even said that Satan’s throne was there. Evil men were disseminating the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans throughout the local church. A man named Antipas, however, felt strongly that this teaching was wrong and should be confronted. So he stepped forward to oppose it, at the cost of his life.
Yes, Antipas was killed, but listen to the tribute the Lord Himself gave: He referred to this saint as “My witness, My faithful one.” And He commended the church in Pergamum with these words: “You hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas” (Rev. 2:13).
Thank God that the trial of our faith, even though tested by fire, will “result in praise and glory and honor at the revela- tion of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7).
Another great day!
