Thanks Scott,
I went back and edited the name.
My wife and I are doing GREAT. (My wife was never part of CC.) We've been married for 10 years now, and we grow closer every day. Thanks for asking.
My physical self is doing very poorly. I was in the hospital last week, and have three more hospital appointments (tests) over the next 3 weeks. However, my wife is strong and walking 2-4 miles daily no matter the weather. She keeps me going.
One of the things we've learned through these last four years is that our possessions and our bodies are not who we are. They won't go to heaven with us. As hard as our (anyone's) trials seem to be, we can still have a vibrant relationship with the Lord. Possessions (or lack thereof) and our bodies (good or bad health) should not rob us of the joy and peace found in the Lord.
Before the accident (Oct 03) we dedicated ourselves to His service and to be people of the Word. (I.e. If the Word said to take no thought for tomorrow, then we were not going to worry tomorrow. etc.) As a couple we feel our relationship with each other and with the Lord has been GREATLY enhanced by our dedication to have daily time together in prayer and Bible study. We miss it terribly when distractions come our way.
I have not been in the ordained ministry for several years now. Both of us long to be back in the harvest fields. Our vision is strong. With age and physical problems snowballing, it would be easy to say it was all over for having any type of vision for being fruitful as the Lord's vessels. However, we keep a vision by faith and are not looking with natural eyes for things to build our faith.
Thanks again for asking.
