Anniversary

1 year ago today I rushed my father to the ER; he was critically ill, though we did not know how ill at the time. He spent 8 months in the hospital because of a serious error a doctor made and admitted it to us. (The hospital should have taken care of the bill, but that is digressing from the story.) This is an anniversary we planned not to celebrate.

Today I rushed my father to the ER at the St. Luke's Hospital in Sugar Land. He's still there, he sent me home to work for a while. I cannot work, I am going back up there at 3:00pm. When a bed becomes available he will be transferred to St. Luke's at the Medical Center in Houston. My father's name is Charles. Prayers are needed and appreciated.

I am going to delay the drawing for the book give away until Monday. I will draw the winner's name and post it then.

I want to say to you, God is ever faithful, He never drops us in the grease. His Word tells us:

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

I read the Beth Moore 5 Statement Pledge of Faith on Ang's blog this morning, I thank the Lord for the timely reminder:

God is Who He says He is
God can do what He says He can do
I am who God says I am
I can do all things through Christ
God's Word is alive and active in me.

I know: Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows...
