August 9, 2008 There is a lot of Love, Devotion, Appreciation and most of all warm inner Joy at our home today. Today is Gregg's and my 10th anniversary. 10 years learning how to love each other and how to be loved. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't . . . If you have a dream, a relationship, you have to protect it . . . Relationship is not a game that can be won...only played . . . and admired.
As for my health, well let’s just say that "now that the barn is burned down, I can see the moon . . ."
Please pray that some form of therapy will present itself that will keep my liver and organs healthy and that my body holds up through the waiting. The original treatment that we hoped I could do was not the one. My body rejected it in a big way and now I am left with the powerful allies of Prayer, Faith and a Trust for the process regarding life here on this beautiful planet. It seems that the original treatment was not for me.
It takes about 4 months for the medicine that was already injected into my body to cleanse out of it. Hopefully something else will show up. After all, I Am a Spiritual Being, Living in a Spiritual World, Governed by Spiritual Law.
Your cards and messages on FriendsofMatt.com really help.
I am starting to fade here a little so I'll close . . . I love you all . . . I know you love me . . . Cause I am a Radiant Light and I AM Free. . . .
Blissings,
Matt

July 28, 2008 Hi everyone, And I mean every single one. I am home from a six day stopover at the hospital. I am delighted to be home. I am also grateful and in awe of medical staff, their commitment and to medicine itself. My white blood count seemed to descend rapidly and so I had to be isolated during my hospital stay. But I am home now and grateful to be. Your letters cards, online messages etc have been a tremendous help. They are like a soothing balm. It makes such an uplifting chain of wellbeing for me to draw from. Because of the severe reaction to the treatment, we stopped this method of treatment and are working with many specialists. My body just couldn’t manage this course of treatment. However, I was thinking yesterday that just because this level of treatment isn’t what I need to continue with, it certainly doesn’t mean that GOD hasn’t got millions of more effortless ways to heal this. That’s my story and I am sticking with it. Due to such severe, unusual and continuous side effects, I will be meeting with some more specialists to evaluate the most effective route to take. The generosity of your messages and the heartfelt energy’s coming from them are literally integrating into my body. And as Gregg mentioned, maybe all I ever needed was the 5 weeks and miracles are continuing within. I love you all very much and I cannot adequately relay what your emails, cards, and contributions are doing for us. Gregg is an angel. I have never been in the presence of so much selfless love and action. Well, I’m starting to fade so God Bless You . . . I Love You . . . I need your support and you are so lovingly giving it. Blissings, Matt |

July 18, 2008 Hey Everyone
I just wanted to write a quick note. Gregg’s here in the hospital room with me. I’ve been here since Wednesday.
My white blood count has dropped real low so they have me in isolation with all the precautions that go with it. I just want you to know that since I cannot have any visitors, you are all in my heart and prayers. I love you all very much.
The drop in white blood cells is one of the severe side effects of the Interferon treatment. I will be in the hospital for several more days and then I will be able to go home. Please don’t send any flowers, I would love them but can’t have them around since my immune system is compromised at this time.
If you can, remember to smile, open a door or do something kind for someone today. You never know where people are coming from or going to. Knowing that there are kind people out there helps. And you are all very kind people.
Blissings,
Matt
PS. I love you all very much and please no visitors or flowers at this time.

July 4, 2008 Dear Friends and Family,
Well this is my first update and I’m not sure what to write. My ego wants me to fulfill its teacher identity, then there's the Spiritual Identity. Martyr, victim and sufferer keep popping up too. But the truth is I'm not resisting or compelled by any or all of them. I feel too much like crap to let them run me.
This will be short; my energy seems to diminish quickly. The cards and messages on the “Friends of Matt” site have been overwhelming and are exactly what is needed, so, thanks so much.
I began my treatment on June 14th. It involves a weekly regimen of drugs whose side effects are pretty debilitating. Each day Gregg helps get me from the bed to the sofa. He then gets my meals and is keeping good records of any changes in health. This is no cake walk. I can sit up on my own for maybe 15 minutes, and then I can no longer hold my body up. I hate to admit it, but a walker may be needed soon. YIKES!!
For those of you who have offered to make meals and help keep the house in some order, Gregg may be calling you soon. He is doing it all and working 2 jobs. He is remarkable -- loving, tender, nurturing and always there.
Many of you pass through my consciousness each day. I read your messages, think of so many of you, and all the irreversible miracles and new relationships that have occurred for thousands and thousands of us since 1982 when I first started yakin about the mission, purpose and ministry. And through the years, all of you have shown up, for distinct, unique and precise purposes; what a miracle.
I'm thinking of you. God has me in the palm of Her hands. When you pray for me, please visualize me as physically pain free; I can use some help in that area. This hurts. . . Blissings,
Matt |

Hello All, Thanks for all of your support. Matt began his year long treatment on June 14th.
His spirits are up eventhough he's been quite sick. Very tired, extremly nauseass and has a lot of physicial pain.
Matt's appetite is good and he sleeps a lot. He's already sick of TV and it's only been two weeks. Thanks for all of your kind words and contributions. Many blessings,
Gregg |
