No real news on the fires this morning, though we were able to watch the glow from two of them in the night sky last night. We could even see stars about three in the morning, but then we found everything coated in ash this morning.
Prayer for the injured firefighters over in Washington, one in critical condition with burns over sixty percent of his body. Prayer for the families of those who died. One family lost their twenty year old son, their only child.
Today, we head up to Moscow for our every other visit with my folks, and for my fortieth class reunion. I had nothing in common with those people forty years ago, I don’t know why I am going, I have never attended one in the past. But I am looking forward to learning why I was motivated to go this time, though I may not learn that for a long time. Thanks for praying with me, for opportunity to share the Lord with others.
With all the other prayers needs, I forgot to list a praise from this week. I saw the doctor for my quarterly examination of blood work and he was beyond shocked at how much my stats had improved. “You even look different.”
He doubled one of my med dosages in May and I’m pretty sure that’s what took 5-8 pounds off me which dropped my blood sugar numbers 20% and improved everything else in pretty amazing ways. I’m beyond grateful to the Lord for that and, frankly, too vain about my appearance now. I’m within ten pounds of what I weighed when I got married 38 years ago–or I weigh less now that I have in almost that long.
I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’m humbly thankful–and have, unfortunately, celebrated by eating ice cream three of the last four nights . . . but it’s gone, now. 🙂
My mom’s incision is healing well, with little (or possibly, at this point) no more drainage. Today a small scabbed area is noticeable, and she has not needed any pain meds for the last few days.
Also, a misunderstanding between my sister-in-law and me from over two weeks ago, which got worse last night, has been very well resolved today. Praise to God for a restored relationship!
Thank you for all the prayers for what seems like the many requests I’ve made for the last few weeks.
Another praise. The Kid made the baseball team. He wasn’t sure he had made as he hadn’t heard anything form the coach. He didn’t know the team was posted on a bulletin board.

It was Peter who started the ‘moderation’ topic.

Excuses, excuses. Spread the blame about.
Did the Prayer Thread turn into a fun page all of a sudden?
Nothing wrong with that, BTW.

It’s Mumsee’s fault.
