Overview: A grief that knows no boundary. A love without any limit. A need that doesn’t end at death.

Corrie Saunders grew up in a life of privilege. But she gave it all up for Jarrod, her Army husband, a man she knew was a hero when she vowed to spend her life with him. She just didn’t expect her hero to sacrifice his life taking on an Iraqi suicide bomber.

Six months after Jarrod’s death, Corrie retreats to the family home her husband inherited deep in the Missouri Ozarks. She doesn’t know how to live without Jarrod—she doesn’t want to. By moving to Saunders Creek and living in a house beloved by him, she hopes that somehow her Jarrod will come back to her.

Something about the house suggests maybe he has. Corrie begins to wonder if she can feel Jarrod’s presence.

Jarrod’s cousin Eli is helping Corrie with the house’s restoration and he knows that his dead cousin is not what Corrie senses. Eli, as a believing man and at odds with his mystically-oriented family members, thinks friendly visits from beyond are hogwash. But he takes spirits with dark intentions seriously. Can he convince Corrie that letting go of Jarrod will lead to finding her footing again— and to the One she can truly put her faith into?

Health Update - Seen My Spine Specialist Yesterday

My appointment did not turn out so great, which I did not believe it would to begin with. I definitely have a crack in my tail bone on the right and a crack starting on the left below the last screws put in to my lower lumbar. I have to see another Dr. now to see if he can fix it without them actually doing an all out opening me up surgery. I see him March 6th.

In the mean time I am still in all this pain I have been in since my last surgery. I believe that is when it happened and it was over looked intentionally, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong but I kept telling him after the last surgery something was not right and he ignored me, more or less.

So for now I am still where I have been for the past two years, in pain and praying for relief and strength, but I know now I am in the right hands with this Dr. I am now seeing and God bless him for being so thorough with me.

I also have to go for a bone density test, because he believes my bones are too soft and I am a good candidate for Osteoporosis, just that many more pills to be taking, I wanted so bad to get away from all the pills but I don't see that happening as I get older, UGH aging stinks in allot of ways for sure, lol!

So as always I will let you know what this other Dr. says on March 6th, until then please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I can be strong and deal with the pain until the time comes that they fix the cracks!
