I see the telecasts of the weather on the east coast and pray that people heed the warnings and get out of harm’s way.  What a dangerous storm.

For the past few days we have had a ‘bit’ of rain, more than we would normally get this time of year.  Today it is sunny and nary much of a cloud in the sky. 

I am doing okay, trying to overcome that residual effect from the bacteria.  I will be undergoing more tests to determine why I am not bouncing back like I should.

We will be on and off line for a while; so don’t be too concerned if there are a few days between my ‘daily’ e-mails.

Thus far, nothing is really life threatening, just physically challenging.  Doing what the docs tell me and hopefully we will be doing better as time goes on.

Been an interesting couple three years, but we ‘think’ we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel – this one at any rate.

Isaiah 43:11-12  I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

¹² I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

Sometimes we must set back and reevaluate the role God has in our lives.

We can see how He has protected us throughout our life time – even before we had accepted His Son as our Savior.

Trials we have gone through, tribulations, challenges, back sliding are often because we took our eyes off who God is and how we relate to Him.

Are we living for God in every aspect of our lives can be a daunting question and can cause us to question if we are even saved or not as we realize we have not given Him full access to our lives.

None the less, we have received forgiveness, we have a God that cares for us as individuals and who wants to bless us, wants to guide us and wants to make us an effective witness for Him.

2 Corinthians 4:5  For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

As Paul preach Christ, not himself, so must we remember that it is Christ, not us who makes a difference in our lives and can make a difference in others.

God made it clear to the Jewish people that He was their God and there was no other.  Salvation came through Him and Him alone.

Jesus made it clear that He and the Father were One.  That His death and resurrection also fulfilled God’s statement of being the only One that can save.

We should never be ashamed, we should take every opportunity we can to present Christ to those that need Him and/or that need reassurance.
