Elaine was admitted to the Wooster Community Hospital this afternoon and is now receiving the first of three units of blood. It seems obvious that she is losing blood somewhere, and it’s not in the most likely places. The thought is that she has a slow, upper GI bleed and they will scope that area…

UPDATE ON ELAINEWe are grateful beyond words that Elaine is stronger and can get up and move about without help. Very different from yesterday. Praise God! We just got home from her doctor and are pleased. She does integrated medicine, listens carefully, and will start on boosting Elaine’s adrenal system. She ordered extensive blood work…

ELAINE’S HEALTHSome of you know of a crisis of sorts in Elaine’s health. For several days this week she was extremely weak and even unable to walk without assistance.

We are either ignorant…

Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Nov. 4 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.* “It is essential that you give people the opportunity to act on the truth of God. The responsibility must be left with the individual— you cannot act for him. It must be his own deliberate…

NOTE: Nobody needs this more than me. “Dear Jesus, may it be so.” Ken ————- Oswald Chambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, Nov. 3 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…” Galatians two twenty. “These words mean the breaking and collapse of my independence…

Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Nov. 2 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” * Our Lord never insists on obedience. He stresses very definitely what we ought to do, but He never forces us to do it. We have to obey Him out of a oneness of spirit with Him. That is…

PORK CHOPSMy sense is that we ought to rethink how we can go about being the church. Our little Sunday evening group wouldn’t be meeting because some were away, and I was wondering what we’d do for fellowship last weekend. Sure enough, on Thursday a friend texted wondering if we’d come for supper Saturday. What…
