It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget Ajissun and the folks in The Gambia.
Anyone else?
Psalm 66
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
7 He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
8 Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
Ava died a year ago today. Elly probably comes home from the hospital today.
Even as I type this, tears are in my eyes. My daughter-in-law and son have been on a difficult emotional rollercoaster for the last three years. The other baby (at 18 weeks) died a year ago April 15.
If you think of them, please say a prayer. Elly, obviously, is doing well enough they’re sending her home.
We’re grateful. But we’re grieving, too.

Thank you. I ran into A in the pharmacy and Elly will probably come home tomorrow instead.
Interesting, they need to do a test with the car seat–which can’t take a preemie until she weighs 5 pounds. So, A will need to stuff that baby today to get the last two ounces in.

Sounds like radiation will be the way to go. Still have to talk to that doctor. Thanks for the prayers. They are felt.
Praising God for another test done on our youngest granddaughter that revealed no problems where they thought there could be.

Just got involved in a series of text messages. My darling 100-year-old friend Jo is signing papers to go into hospice care. Her heart is just not functioning and so forth. I have not called nor seen her in six weeks–my life has been out of control. Calling her is on my list of things to do today.
Jo would rather be around longer, but she’s happy to go home to her savior. Pray as you think best. I’m going to call in a bit–but of course, I have to go work at church in an hour.
I don’t like being crazy busy like this and I hate feeling like I’m failing everyone by not being available when they need me.
