Update on DougHello all,
Doug is out of surgery. Talked with His surgeon. The tumor was removed successfully with no complications. Nothing in the lymph nodes, but we must wait for up to a week for the full pathology report. Until then, please pray for clarity for the diagnosis.
Thank you all!

Update on Dougs surgery
Hello friends,
Doug is in surgery now and should be for at least another hour or two. It could possibly go longer. Then recovery will take another hour or so.
Ben, Bekah, Nate, and Rachel are all here keeping me very good company. Thank you so much for your prayers and kind notes and texts. We are blessed indeed.
We will keep you posted as soon as there is something to post.
With love,
Nancy, for Doug too, though he is asleep.Christine LaMoreaux
Here are two primary-source documents for “The first time the dishes are not done. . .” Continue reading
The first time the dishes are not done, he must sit down with his wife immediately and gently remind her that this is something which has to be done. At no time may he lose his temper, badger her, call her names, etc. He must constantly remember and confess that she is not the problem, he is. By bringing this gently to her attention, he is not to be primarily pointing to her need to repent; rather, he is exhibiting the fruit of his repentance.
He does this, without rancor and without an accusative spirit, until she complies or rebels. If she complies, he must move up one step, now requiring that another of her duties be done. If she continues to rebel after patient effort, he should at some point call the elders of the church and ask them for a pastoral visit. When the government of the home has failed to such an extent and a godly and consistent attempt by the husband to restore the situation has broken down, then the involvement of the elders is fully appropriate.

Am seeing stars. That is exactly what it is. Blackmail—just one of the tools of an abuser & an abusing “pastor” They are blind and evil. God will not forsake you & He will hold them to account.

And last, we have access to the love letters/journals that you wrote that the court reviewed and then sealed. . . . As result of a plea bargain, a jury trial for Jamin was avoided, along with a lot of embarrassment for everybody. Part of that agreement meant burying the story, along with a bunch of the evidence. The reason I have been so concerned about your public airing of your perspective on it is that it is not really possible to dig up just half the story. The rest of it is going to want to come up too. One of the official court documents says about some of the sealed evidence, that ‘those documents contain highly intimate and potentially embarrassing facts or statements, the publication of which would be highly objectionable to reasonable persons’ (5/10/06).
