Speaker 1: 0:06

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Pure Faith Podcast, a podcast where we discuss all things Bible. I'm Michelle, my brother, mitchell. We are glad that you are joining us. We're happy to be back and nothing's changed. You still have like shavings on the side of your head. So, even though it's been a while, some things haven't changed.

Speaker 2: 0:27

I'm still wearing the same bibs.

Speaker 1: 0:30

My hair got a little longer, your hair got a little less yeah.

Speaker 2: 0:36

I've actually kind of you got older.

Speaker 1: 0:38

I didn't.

Speaker 2: 0:39

Whoa wait a minute here.

Speaker 1: 0:41

I mean technically you did. I haven't had a birthday since, that's true.

Speaker 2: 0:45

I have had a birthday. Oh shoot, You've had a birthday since that time.

Speaker 1: 0:50

Nope, we stopped in May and if you remember when my birthday is right now, it's January, so my birthday has not hit.

Speaker 2: 1:04

When was the last time we released an episode? May this past year, I thought it was been over a year. No.

Speaker 1: 1:12

We were going to take off from May, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and then that got extended to January.

Speaker 2: 1:20

I thought it was been over a year.

Speaker 1: 1:22

Actually, it might have been April when we actually did our last recording, but it was released in May. Either way, my birthday's not after April.

Speaker 2: 1:33

Okay so.

Speaker 1: 1:34

You've had a birthday.

Speaker 2: 1:35

I just thought we've been off longer than we have.

Speaker 1: 1:37

Oh, I don't know where you've been. I don't either I mean just think a year ago in December, you had your kidney out. We were here doing all that. Remember, I mean just think, a year ago, in December, you had your kidney out. We were here doing all that. Remember your testimony. It's only been a year. It's only been a year in December, olivia and Owen got married in December.

Speaker 2: 1:56

They've only been married a year. It's only been a year.

Speaker 1: 1:58

Yeah, but since then I've had other organs taken out. Since then, Let me tell you he's the most dramatic person. Oh, you know what? I'm just going to go to the hospital. I have my appendix taken out. Can you come over to my house? Yeah, sure, what's wrong? Well, I'm just going to. I think I got appendixitis. I got my appendix taken out. Oh, so much drama.

Speaker 2: 2:20

But anyhow, that hurt, that hurt a lot.

Speaker 1: 2:23

We have been busy and again that's why we've not been in touch, but you know we've talked about it. We talked about it even when September came around. But you know life does get busy and you know you have three little ones. I was sending off my youngest to college and I was helping Olivia and Owen to get moved to Utah and you know, just there was so much going on that we kind of delayed it and we felt moved to come back. But changing it up a little bit, what do you think we are?

Speaker 2: 2:54

Yes, we do plan on changing things up. We're not going to be. We got burned out last time. Doing it every week Didn't really really miss anything.

Speaker 1: 3:06

anything like miss any of our dates yeah for two and a half years yeah it was, we had done it for a good while. Yeah, I'm gonna say it probably was two and a half years and we, we were, we were moving along and learning a lot but, like I told mitchell, like you lost the passion, I think it was the fact that we, we almost felt like it was we were moving along and learning a lot but, like I told Mitchell, like you lost the passion, I think it was the fact that we almost felt like it was a chore.

Speaker 1: 3:30

Yeah, we had to come every. Not we had to, but we came every Thursday. We dedicated that time to be here and you know good, bad or indifferent, you know it just it kind of just lost its. We lost our passion for it.

Speaker 2: 3:46

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 3:47

Yeah, so we thought about trying something different, maybe every other week or you know, yep, I think we're going to try, and if we miss a week, it's fine. We'll just jump back into it when we can.

Speaker 2: 3:56

but yeah, we're not going to stick to a schedule so much. I think we're just going to kind of do it on our own. Maybe we'll record two episodes at a time again and then really we wouldn't have to record for like a month. Right, I thought about maybe even not really keeping track of time. Right, thought about not even writing any notes.

Speaker 1: 4:18

Right, you know, and having a more of a discussion instead of a Bible study, a Bible discussion, you know, just to take a scripture or something that we, that that hit us during the week. I mean, you have no idea what it might be yeah.

Speaker 2: 4:30

So, as you may realize, we're not really going to discuss the bible too much today, just going to kind of discuss our lives, what we've been doing, um. But next week I plan on going through psalm 22. That's probably going to take. It's going to take one long episode or two episodes, just see how things go. I mean, I don't know, it is what it is.

Speaker 1: 4:54

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 4:55

So we're not going to stick to a rigid schedule like we were before.

Speaker 1: 5:00

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 5:02

Me personally, I get bored sticking to the same thing, and if you go to the store back catalog, we do jump around quite a bit like we'll work on one thing for so long and then also we just go a different direction. And it's because we get bored with what we're doing. Right, there's good information, a lot of good study there. It's just sometimes you need to, you know, doing the same thing for months on end, the same topic. It's like we need to find a different topic. Yeah, just try something different. We'll come back to that different time.

Speaker 1: 5:33

And sometimes discussion is good rather than just to go line by line in the scripture. You know, it might just be a discussion on prayer, it might just be a discussion on you know anything? I mean it could be as it could be. I mean there's so many different things coming up. I mean, right now we're getting prepared for me to be a gran, a grandma.

Speaker 2: 5:56

So what are you going to be called?

Speaker 1: 5:58

Grams.

Speaker 2: 5:59

Grams.

Speaker 1: 6:00

So but listen, as you know, there's names out there that women pick for their to be their grandma names. But Noah has said you know, this baby's going to call you whatever the baby calls you. And it's funny because I watched, I watched a reel on you know, through Facebook or whatever, and it was. It was so cute. So is this? It's this grandpa, and he's sitting in this chair and he has his grandkids lined up behind him and there's probably 12 of them and he's supposed to recognize their voice and say who they are, which I thought was. It's something that I've been seeing through reels and stuff that they're doing this. Teachers or principals are doing it like different groups of people. It'd be neat for Pastor to do it Like to sit here and all of us kind of walk up and for him to like say, oh, that's Michelle, oh that's Pam, oh that's Deb, oh that's Mitchell. You know, just to hear voices.

Speaker 1: 6:51

Anyhow, there's Grandpa sitting there and in the blurb it says that he was supposed to be Grandpa, but the very first grandkid called him Giddy. So because he couldn't say Grandpa, so his name's Giddy. So because he couldn't say grandpa, so his name's Giddy. So who knows what we're going to be called. That's true, who knows? So some, some of them will stick to it. Noah said you know, we, we might just call you. Well, that must be called Opa. But Noah said no, that's German for grandpa. But Noah said we're not calling you Opa, so I pretty good.

Speaker 1: 7:23

I kind of like that one. I like Opa too, because it's something different and it comes from our heritage. Yeah, but anyhow, who knows what I'll get called? I mean right now I'm just Aunt Shell to the three boys that just left my house.

Speaker 2: 7:40

You're welcome.

Speaker 1: 7:43

But no, elle and Noah are expecting their first baby in February, february 19th, so we will go down there in March to visit. So we are excited about that. So that's changed. Like I said, olivia and Owen, they've been in Midvale Utah since last May. So they are living their best life since last May. So they are living their best life.

Speaker 1: 8:08

You know, I'm so proud of them to, to, to go out so far and to, I mean, they came home for Christmas. It was nice to have them home. You know, I I miss Olivia, I mean, but even if she was in still Perrysburg, I wouldn't see her, any more than why I see her now. So you know, it's, it's just that there's so much, there's so many more miles between us, but that's okay. You know, her and Owen are doing great things. They're, they're, I mean they're just living their best life and I'm I'm proud of them. They recently went on a hike and Olivia said that just to see the Lord's canvas, you know, with the mountains and the and the, the landscape and the sun rising, and you know, it's just a whole different picture out there than what it is here in dark Ohio. So, um, and then Daniel's off doing his thing at college.

Speaker 1: 8:54

So you know my life is much quieter than mine it's so quiet until three little boys come tearing into my house. I'm just can we play Sorry? Can we play Sorry, yeah. How many times are you going to cry? Because if you're going to cry more than twice because you're losing, I'm not playing.

Speaker 2: 9:12

Oh shoot no.

Speaker 1: 9:17

They are the ones who keep us on our toes, but I still have all my organs. I haven't had nothing taken out. I'm like you's changed with you guys.

Speaker 2: 9:30

I don't know if much has changed.

Speaker 1: 9:34

Boys are getting older, yeah, um you were able to do a couple well. I know you did one wedding since the last time we had. I don't know if there was just one or two maybe two. Yeah.

Speaker 2: 9:48

I don't know when that other one was.

Speaker 1: 9:50

Yeah, I think I think a two. I, I, I really liked that calling for Mitchell. Um, I was able to attend the wedding um this last one that he did and, um, you know it's, it's just it's so neat to to see you, you know, get to know somebody um to be able to to pray with them and to, you know, celebrate a wedding with them. So, um, that was really neat to see. I did enjoy that Um. So that's something different that you, that you did um recently.

Speaker 2: 10:20

I have another one on the books.

Speaker 1: 10:22

Oh, do you.

Speaker 2: 10:23

Okay, november.

Speaker 1: 10:24

Okay, fantastic, yeah. So, um, you know, like I said, it's just, I just feel like the words just just flow for you when it comes to to, you know, those types of events. You know just praying in general I've learned a lot from from Mitchell. You know, no words are, are, I don't know, not right when you're, I mean when you pray, you just you just pray, you just talk, it just it flows now yeah, it's.

Speaker 2: 10:54

I'm not nearly as good as pastors.

Speaker 1: 10:57

Oh, he is. He is, you know, I think a lot of, even you know the ones that step in for him other than you, that come to our church. When someone is standing in front of you know our, our church here, and they're able to go up there and I just feel like it really, sometimes I feel like it's an out of body experience, like the words that they speak just flow so great.

Speaker 1: 11:21

And the messages is perceived so well when they give it. So, um, kudos to you guys for doing that stuff. So kudos to you guys for doing that stuff, I'll stick to singing.

Speaker 2: 11:30

Something else that is new is well, you've been going to the Women's Bible Study.

Speaker 1: 11:37

I have yes.

Speaker 2: 11:38

And Paige has actually had to be in charge of it a few times.

Speaker 1: 11:42

She's given the study. Yes, she has. I was to one that Paige was in charge of. I didn't make it to the last one and the one. They just canceled this last one because it was way too cold for them to have it. So she'll have another one here coming up, but yeah, it's different to see her in that role.

Speaker 1: 11:57

It really is I kind of wish I could have seen it you know again, I just like I said, you know when, when we have people here, how it just it flows. Um, you know, knowing page's's personality, how quiet she is, how I mean she's just very reserved to go out there, and I mean she knew exactly where she was going in the Bible and she was, I mean she had her notes and she was just going back and forth and it was really great to see that. And to you know, and just to hear her pray, because you know, we don't, we don't get to hear her.

Speaker 2: 12:31

I hardly get to hear her pray.

Speaker 1: 12:33

Yeah, I mean it's it's, it's wonderful, it really is. And you know she had um the one that I went to, her best friend was there, uh, coley.

Speaker 1: 12:42

Um and you know. So they kind of tag teamed it together and they do they feed off really well from each other, Like from one to the other. They were just going back and forth and, um, they did a really great job. Yeah, and I'm I'm glad that I'm a part of of doing that. I don't know, with, with doing this, how much, how much I will get over there, but it's a really, it's a really good study, Very, very good. So, um, yeah, she's been doing that too, too coming out of her shell a little bit a little bit

Speaker 2: 13:11

yeah she still won't pray at home she won't unless I'm not home. Oh, then she'll pray at the boys, but otherwise it's on me it's all on you.

Speaker 1: 13:24

Well, maybe you should just be like you're gonna have to take this one for the team.

Speaker 2: 13:30

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 13:33

I don't know if that would work, oh shoot, but no, we did go through. I'm trying to think. So, we went through the fall, we went through Christmas. You know, like I said, olivia was home. Mom ended up in the hospital on Christmas Day. Yeah, it's true, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1: 13:55

So, um, she was cooking for us and something got lodged into her throat and they ended up having to scope it out. So, um, she wasn't able to be at our Christmas, which was it was very hard for her, but, um, like she's, she's so funny. She said that's what she gets for not praying that morning, cause she prays every morning and that morning she was. She had a busy schedule. She bypassed her prayer time so that way she could start cooking and getting ready and, mind you, olivia and Owen were staying with her, um, while they were home. Um, you know she enjoys having the kids stay with her, so and it and it helps, um, but she just got a little too busy and she said that's what happens when you skip your prayer time.

Speaker 1: 14:34

I'm like, well, I don't think you want, I don't think you want you to choke, oh shoot. So, but she was there for most of the day, she was able to come back and, um, she's doing much better now. She's staying very busy. Yes, she's getting a good bill of health from the doctors, so we're always glad to hear that On the anniversary of dad's death. That's the morning that Mitchell called. You know, 530 in the morning, when you know, waking up, that it's the, you know, the anniversary of your dad's passing.

Speaker 2: 15:06

Well, to be fair, I didn't know that. I was up since the night before. You're delirious I didn't even know what day it was, I didn't know. I just realized I needed to go to the hospital. And I still put up with it for a while because I didn't want to wake Paige up. And then eventually, about 5 o'clock, I'm like, right, I can't go anymore, and so I woke her up yeah, and you called mom first.

Speaker 1: 15:34

Mom had to work. So, um, you called me and and my phone rings. You know, my alarm had just gone off. I'm like, how did he know? My alarm just went off. And I look at my phone and I'm like, why is he calling me? And I'm like, okay, so, okay, so I'm, I, I'm in bed. So I'm like I got to answer this. And so I answer and he's just like oh, what you doing? I'm getting out of bed. You want to come to my house? Sure why? I think I need to go to the hospital. Okay, then I'll be there shortly. I mean, I didn't ask any questions at that point. Okay, I'll be there shortly, you know. You just don't know what it is. And, of course, don woke up at that time and he's like is everything okay? Do you need me to go with you? I'm like no, it's fine, I'm gonna go and get the boys ready. I'm gonna take them, you know, to daycare, to school, wherever they were going, whatever they were doing. But yeah, I got there. You looked like a million dollars.

Speaker 1: 16:37

He was rough, I felt rough. He was rough, yeah, and then you went slowly, drove you to the hospital.

Speaker 2: 16:53

I tried to talk her and putting her in sport mode.

Speaker 1: 17:01

I wanted it's just so funny, because she's so laid back so she's just like Going the speed limit.

Speaker 2: 17:13

I really wanted to tell her hey, the gas pedal's on the right, push it. But I'm like I don't want to make her mad, so I'm like, so I thought about it, so I just politely asked Is there any way we could go a little bit faster? And I don't think she did find you.

Speaker 1: 17:46

If mom or I would have taken you, you would have been there in like no time flat, because that's just one thing that we do. Different we are and page knows it too we are strong way different than her. So but it was just funny, because that was one of the things that you had said was it was a slow drive over, yeah, but no, he got there and you checked in and I think it was by 9 o'clock, was it? You left about, I'm going to say 6 o'clock.

Speaker 2: 18:17

Yeah, I think I was going back between 7 and 7.30.

Speaker 1: 18:23

Okay.

Speaker 2: 18:28

So I don't even think I had to wait in the waiting room that long by the time we got checked in there and sat down. We sat down for a little bit and then they took us back and I've discussed this with Paige and some of the things. I didn't remember them. The same as she did, like I was in a lot of pain. Oh, the same as she did, like I was in a lot of pain, um, but once they gave me the morphine, then I was pretty much out, yeah, like because I didn't sleep at all that night yeah, I went to bed.

Speaker 2: 18:57

I think I got up at like 10 or 11, um from the pain. So I actually woke up from the pain and I kind of fought through it, tried to. I took Tylenol, you know, did different things to try to alleviate the pain and none of it really touched it. Um, but they gave me morphine that worked yeah. And then I went to sleep.

Speaker 1: 19:21

Yeah, and then we got a phone call Yep, it's his appendix, it's got to come out, so he'll have surgery sometime today.

Speaker 2: 19:30

Um yeah, the funny part was uh page was hanging out hanging out and the doctor, the surgeon, came in. He's like I got a lot of stuff on the books already for today. It's probably gonna be later on in the afternoon, the evening before before you go back to surgery. I'm like, hey, keep giving me morphine, I don't care, I'm here, I'm good, and so about. I don't know what time it actually was.

Speaker 1: 19:53

It was like 11., 11., 11., 30.

Speaker 2: 19:55

Yeah, something like that I was telling Paige there's no reason for you to stick around, go home, go do what you need to do. You know I'm fine. And so eventually, about 11, 11, 30, she's like all right, I'm leaving, like all right, I'll let you know whenever I get to the room, where the room is all this other stuff. She probably hadn't even made it like out the hall. No, listen.

Speaker 1: 20:27

She made it to her car into the grocery store.

Speaker 2: 20:29

Well, by the time they came to get me.

Speaker 1: 20:31

Oh.

Speaker 2: 20:32

And then they were like, uh, you're, you're, where was your wife? I'm like, uh, she just left. Like, oh, she, she must've just left. I'm like, yeah, destroyed down the hole. Like what do you want to let her know you're going and we'll see. They didn't come to take me to my room. They came and got me for surgery.

Speaker 2: 20:50

So you thought they were coming to take you to a room they were supposed to be coming to get me to take me to a room so I could have my room, and then they're going to take me to surgery from the room. But then they just came to get me for surgery.

Speaker 1: 21:00

Yeah, probably because it's like an appendix. We do that every day like it's gonna take me near nearly 20 minutes, like let's just get this done maybe.

Speaker 2: 21:07

I don't know what his decision for it was, but they were like well, do you want to call your wife? Have her come back? I'm like, nah, she's fine. Like are you sure, are you sure they're gonna take you back to surgery? Are you sure you don't want to let her like nah, she got things to do, it's fine. And so I didn't even tell Paige I was going back to surgery and she was like you said. She laughed, she went to the grocery store or something.

Speaker 1: 21:34

Yeah, because she needed milk. She called me from the grocery store.

Speaker 2: 21:37

Before she even left the grocery store, they called her and told her I was out of surgery.

Speaker 1: 21:42

She called me. She's like I'm literally in the grocery store and they just called me and told me that he's out of surgery. I'm like what? She's like they weren't supposed to do it until like 3.30 this afternoon, like she was going to go home, take the groceries back and then go back and you know. Just, you know, do some things until you had your surgery. And she's like, yeah, so he's already done. I'm like he is. She's like, yeah, and they had the boys had their first swim lesson that night. Yeah, so she's like I'm just gonna take him to swim and he's gonna be fine.

Speaker 2: 22:12

I'm like all right so, uh, that was, that was crazy, that was a crazy day, it really was and then they gave me false hope, told me that I could possibly leave yet that day. So I'm like all right, what do I got to do? And I was going to do it, but then they're like no, we can't let you leave the same day.

Speaker 1: 22:38

You have to stay overnight yeah, yeah, so you did and then just to get released from a hospital anymore. It, I mean, it takes so long that and that's what we. We have come to realize this. So if we know someone's getting released the next day, we know the doctor's checking in, say seven o'clock, they're not getting released until noon.

Speaker 1: 22:51

There's no reason to get there anytime before noon. Heck that one time, um matt went to pick mom up after she had that surgery on her neck and she was like don't come yet, don't come yet. Matt got in his vehicle and he went. I think I had to sit there for three hours until she got released. Word of the wise Don't go any sooner than you have to, it's just a sitting game. After that that happened, I don't think anything else really.

Speaker 2: 23:21

I don't think anything else really happened.

Speaker 1: 23:24

We've just been working, living life, raising three boys.

Speaker 2: 23:32

Playing army.

Speaker 1: 23:34

Playing army. Okay, I thought it was like Power Rangers.

Speaker 2: 23:41

No, I play army.

Speaker 1: 23:42

Oh, you play army. The boys, they do Dad's at army, dad's at army.

Speaker 2: 23:47

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 23:48

Dad's at army this weekend, yeah, so Mitchell is still doing that.

Speaker 2: 23:52

Yeah, but they didn't kick me out.

Speaker 1: 23:54

No, even after being a kidney short. That's the other thing. When you went to get your pennies, that was supposed to be your weekend, that you were supposed to go right, and then you still ended up going.

Speaker 2: 24:06

No, I didn't go, I thought about going okay um, because, yeah, we were supposed to it was so, was it? It was december 3rd is whenever the surgery was, I think december 7th. I had drill and oh, it might have been then the 8th and 9th, we were supposed to be going away for a little winter.

Speaker 1: 24:29

Get away with your. Mitchell got out of it again. He's like you know what Swankoski's.

Speaker 2: 24:35

Well, what they said is oh, if Mitchell can't go, then none of us are going, oh yeah.

Speaker 1: 24:39

So they just canceled the whole thing, so they canceled the whole thing. They postponed it. Mind you, it was cold that weekend. It was an outdoor event.

Speaker 2: 24:44

It may not have been me, but in my mind it was me they couldn't go without me.

Speaker 1: 24:52

So funny, that's too funny. So yeah, it was just a chaotic time. I asked him next December, do you want to pre-plan what organ you're going to take out and when you're going to have it done? I think, it's the gallbladder oh next December. We gallbladder See how that goes, but for the rest of us we're all good. None of the rest of us had any surgeries.

Speaker 2: 25:25

Matt's good.

Speaker 1: 25:26

Matt's been doing better he's been taking steps to improve his health yes, yes so proud of him for actually going to the doctor and having a, a checkup and you know, being on top of that stuff, um, he, he had some blood pressure things that he wanted to get resolved and he's been taking his blood pressure every day. He's been taking better care of himself and you know we're very thankful for that. You know, heart disease runs in our family. Um, you know, I, I too, went to the doctor. One of the things that we discussed that the doctor was even having the cancer gene test done. I, you know, I, I sent you a message about it and I talked to Noah about it a little bit. But I'm just like you know, if I'm supposed to have it, then I'll have it.

Speaker 2: 26:13

Well, the thing is, if you take that test and it comes back that you are, you have the genetics that you are predisposed to having cancer, that doesn't mean you have cancer, it doesn't mean you ever get cancer right. It just means genetically you have the markers that you are more likely than not to get cancer so and then so you could, but it's only certain types of cancer too right so, so you can, you could pay to have this test done.

Speaker 1: 26:43

Or I could say my sister has had cancer, my brother had cancer, my grandma had cancer, my aunt has cancer. On the other side I've got a cousin who's had cancer, a couple of aunts who have cancer, like the hereditary is there. So it's like, do I need a test to tell me that?
