Getting Back to Normal

-

The sun is rising right now, like a golden ball in the sky, reminding us of the Lord's tender mercies which are renewed day by day. The Lord is near.

Cathy is near too!

It's so good to have her home. Like the rising sun, her presence brings a sense of "normal" back to our household.

(All the wild beasts are back in the cages again.)

    Dear Pastor Mark,
    Returning to work this morning, I was so happy to read of Cathy's homecoming. Gary & I have been out of town (camping in the woods, away from computers and such) since Wednesday evening and unable to check your blog. But that didn't keep us from praying for her recovery and complete renewal of good health. I'm reading a book right now that speaks of storms that God allows to rumble through our lives, using them as wake-up calls for our hearts. We don't always know when one of those storms will hit. Will it build up gradually or just wham! hit us? Within each storm He'll always place a lesson, like a well placed lightning bolt! "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4 Amen & amen!
    I pray that there will be a downpouring of God's blessings on you and your family.
    Your friend, Sue B.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
