Snowy Sunday Morning

As the snow flakes fell this morning, I talked with the Lord about many things. One that is deeply touching is to see how the Lord has knit Ben and Lisa together through this year. Don't misunderstand me--they've always had a strong relationship--but this year has added a beautiful depth. It reminds me of that verse about a cord of three strands not being easily broken. The Lord has braided them together with Himself, and it's a strong bond. It will be interesting to see how He has chosen to use this rope!

As Paul's school quarter nears an end, he's putting his finishing touches on a persuasive essay, "Cancer is Good." I wanted to waffle a little and thought he should title it, "Cancer Can Be Good," but he didn't feel that was what he wanted to say. The essay is a strong argument for what cancer does to people's relationships and how God uses it in our lives. I pray that the students who have read it for peer review would stop and think about their relationship with the God of the universe.

Busy, busy week ahead for me and my choir-mates at Cedar Park Church. We perform the musical Star next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (8 pm, 7 pm, and 6 pm, respectively). But the busy-ness is worth it. It's so much fun to be singing music again that impacts the soul. By the way, the shows are free and no tickets are required! Everyone is welcome to come!!

By the way, praise to our God for bringing Ben through his surgery so well!!! Although he tires easily, he's only two weeks out of major surgery!!! The best way to describe what the doctor did is scour all of Ben's abdominal cavity and organs of pesky tumors (some grapefruit sized; others the size of a pin head!). Ben has an appointment with the radiologist this Thursday to learn about the next step (radiation), but our guess is that won't start until after the first of the year.

Time to get back to decorating our Christmas Tree!
