Well, I (David) am now working remotely and things are going well. The work on the trailer is progressing nicely and we are hoping on a departure time for the West sometime around Wednesday or Thursday. Unfortunately Robin fell sick and ended up having to go to the ER on Sunday where she was diagnosed with Strep. My wife hardly ever gets sick and it was hard for me to see her in such pain / discomfort. She is a real blessing to the family and having her "out of commission" for a day was pretty difficult for me. Now that she is on medication she is getting better and should be recovered fully shortly. Please continue to pray for our health as a family as it seems like a period of sickness has been on our heels for some time.


**********************************************

What started out to be a mild sore throat on Friday morning evolved into something unbelievable. (David arrived home on Saturday morning, Amen and Amen!) The pain in my throat and ears became unbearable by Sunday morning and I had about 2 hours of sleep. I am sure that that played into my teariness, but I was in pain that aside from childbirth I only recall from my childhood. After a trip into the ER the young resident doctor boldly announced that I did indeed have a strep infection and the start of a lovely ear infection in my right ear, but he was very quick to point out that the perscription he was giving me would "kill just about anything". He also told me that the infection in my throat was bad enough that I would probably not feel any relief for about 48 hours. He was just about right, it was 36 hours before I could swallow with the aid of motrin and aleve and not cry. Anyway..... this has started out as some trip...... please keep us in your prayers.

A verse I have been meditating on.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will him he heareth.

Think about this paradox and ask yourself "Does HE hear my prayers?" Any thoughts?
