Celebrate Life...........
Good Morning!! It is Saturday, a New Day........and Curt is in the match of a life time! He had a rough evening last night at around 6:00-7:30pm. The evening nurse worked at getting Curt comfortable......he had a high temp and was in intense pain. The nurse gave him 80ml of morphine, his normal is 20ml. He had a few small seizures and breathing was labored. We got him stable and through the night. We are giving him 40ml of morphine every other hour now and he's resting peacefully right now. He does stop breathing for about 25-30 seconds and then takes 8-10 short breaths to make up for what he lost. Is this an Amazing story???? He's playing out every point of the match! What a lesson for All of us. He's not giving up or throwing in the towel just to say good by. He's showing us, In everything we do, give it your all to the very end.....Never Give Up!! He continues to Make the Day Count!! What a Champion!! Make this a Great Day and Celebrate Life! Love and God bless, Shari

Hurray for Curt, what a battler. Dear Lord, please call this match on account of Darkness, though, and bring Curt out of the valley and into your heavenly arms. Please be with Shari and family, give them strength, give them courage, give them peace. In Jesus' name, amen.
We are praying for you. We love you!!! God, please continue to give your peace to the Condon family and please relieve Curt's pain.
Curt & Shari,
We have been praying for you and thinking of you every day. We wish you peace and comfort. Our love and prayers are with you.
Love,
Bob & Sandee Carter
Good Afternoon All,
What a match indeed. God is sooo good. Curt's life of living for the Lord is a role model. Shari and Brittany you two are showing what having God's strength and peace truly means. Thank you Jesus.
Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding - what beautiful words. You are all in my prayers. Let the celebration begin soon for the victory God is bringing Curt to.
Love you all,
Dee

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16). Please be with the Condon family, Lord.
Just a note of encouragment that Curt continues to touch and impact lives every day. I ran into a lady who has never met Curt but knows his situation and has been praying for him. She was in tears telling me how Curt had impacted her life and wondered if he had any idea how many people he was touching during this time. She wants to make an eternal impact with her life just like Curt has been doing for many years. She feels as if she has life purpose and direction because of Curts faith and strength in Jesus. It really helped me that day as I was thinking of why and wishing Curt could be with us much longer. God just gave me a little glimps of what he is doing and will continue to do through the vessel of Curt Condon.
Thank you Curt for teaching me so much even when you can not physically speak your voice is heard so clearly--"make today count" "hold on to Jesus"
Thank you also Laura for all the updates and teaching me what a true servant of God looks like.
Love you all,
Katrina, Greg and Failla Family
Shari and Family;
Thanks for taking such loving care of Curt and for making us part of your efforts for him.
Seeing your affection and faith knited with Curt... it gives strength. Compassion overflows, goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your lives...
Dear God, contine to favor your daughter Shari, her familiy and children. Put loving kindness in her path and open a way for her. Shari has brought so many closer to you through her love and faithfulness for Curt, your son and our friend.
As you bring him into your presence Lord, good and faithful servant as he has been, place him in your kingdom, dressed in a glorious anad healthy body, clothed in white robes and praising you forever
Amen
Patrick
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all. (Psalm 34:17-19)
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Psalm 61:1-4)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. (Exodus 14:13a,14)
Please hear our prayers, Lord.
Dear Curt, Shari, Brittney and Bret,
We want you all to know how much we love Curt and have been praying for him daily. You all know how much Curt has impacted all our lives and continues to do so. Tell him we love him and wish him well on his journey into the lord's kingdom. We will continue to pray for him and all of you.
Love, The Auten Family
AMAZING!! It has become increasingly amazing how you, Shari and Curt continue to minister to friends and strangers through this sad situation. You do have an incredible story that I have a feeling, has only begun to touch lives. We ARE making today count!! May the Lord continue to shine his face upon you all.

My family and I continue to pray for Curt and Shari. Their love for the Lord is a beacon of light for all of us to share.
"Fight the good fight, keep the faith, finish the race." One of the great versus you helped me learn.
I have no complete way to thank you for the ways you have let God shine through you to inspire me and countless others. You have done it for years. You continue to do it today.
You and your family are in my daily prayers.

Dear Curt and Shari,
You continue to be in the prayers of many here in San Diego...and remember..
"For He shall give his angels charge over thee, too keep thee in all they ways." Psalm 91:ll
and we know that He always keeps His Word.
We love you,
Marlowe B.
Good morning, Curt this is your cousin Gayle. It was so good to see you at the Condon Rally in November. Gee, it's only been 20+ years since we last met when you came to Minnesota for a tourny. There's so much to say but I don't know how to say any of it. Remember to smile. For a smile costs nothing but creates much. You've smiled on so many people. We are all now smiling back at you. God Bless. Rest easy. Love, Gayle
I just have to say you are all such a blessing to those outside the "circle" of your home. I really just know Brittany and can see what a blessing she would be, but the way the whole family has grown with the grace only available through our precious Lord is truly amazing! I have been following this for months and praying daily for Curt especially, but for Shari and all of you..... You are truly an inspiration and I can see God using you in mighty way. Bless you!
