Mar 2: +15 The Life is in the Blood

 There is a verse in the Bible that says life is in the blood. That's why Jesus death on the cross was key to our salvation. 

For me blood has been needed resource from time to time. Today, my hematocrit has dropped below 24, so I'm getting a blood transfusion of O+. My original blood type is A+. Eventually with my new blood donor I will become O+. Unfortunately due to my melanoma in 2001, I had to stop giving blood.

I would encourage you to consider blood donation if your life and time permit it. Is a very needed resource and a very big blessing to people like me.

Still looking like Mon or Tue wil be the mountain peak for this journey, more likely Tue. 

Blessings of grace and mercy be yours today in full measure. Hug your spouse and kids if you have them.
