TJ Doing Great / In My Life

Obviously we have neglected this site for sometime now (since February 23rd, to be precise). (I (Jon) had come to the poor assumption that by this point visits were minimal. Well, in the last week we have had 191 visitors from 13 countries (and some of the visitors are new!)

TJ is up and running and all in all, doing great. His beard is most definitely back, he is back to work, a couple of weeks ago he spoke to a class at Bethel, and is traveling again (not international yet). He still tires more easily than he did before, and his voice is softer than it was before this whole, uhm, event. The doctors did not expect him to be back at work for 6-9 months after he was released. It is completely and undoubtedly evident that people are still praying for TJ, and that God is faithful.

Per the voice, that is expected to come back after some time. There isn't any physical damage to his vocal chords, etc. They just were roughed up a bit after being vented for so long.

Oh, and he is finally doing Facebook. He now has 251 friends (and still growing, thanks largely to a Facebook group Chip started), which is more than me! (At least Chip beats him with 600!) If you do Facebook, you can find him under "T.J. Addington."

It is weird to be posting again at all, in some ways this blog is the only remaining evidence that anything happened at all. Things are almost too normal. Maybe I am just still processing it (as well as rushing to finish last semester's work before I fail the whole thing, which wouldn't be cool.)

So thank you all for your prayers! I don't like displaying my emotions in public (much less in front of hundreds of people!) but it is so hard not to, this has been one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, and it was in my life.

P.S. I'll have at least one more post that shows the visiting stats, one almost needs the visuals to get a grasp on how much of a global event this became.
