Another Beautiful Morning!
It's going to be another nice day. Yesterdays, temperature was in the 40's and we are looking at that again today...I'm loving it. :-). The longer the colder weather holds off the better...
Yesterday, Kaylee and I was on our way over to pick up grandma Faye... so we could go up to visit grandma Gloria, Kaylee started crying, she just didn't feel well, so we turned around and came back home...
The social worker from the hospital called and told me Gloria had a bad night and she's having a bad day so maybe it was best to wait...
I told her I'd be up on Friday.
I am limited to when I can see her...visiting hours are only between 1 and 2:30pm...
I talked to my Dr from the MD clinic yesterday and he is concerned with my shortness of breath and the narrowing. I'm supposed to call him again on Friday to let him know if its improved, if not he is going to send me to a specialist. :-)
I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study
Lessons from My Grandfather
Read | Deuteronomy 4:9
Every generation is faced with the choice to live morally or immorally. For this reason, parents and grandparents have an awesome responsibility to pass down the biblical truths and principles that have guided their own lives. I can personally attest to the impact my grandfather’s words had in shaping the way I think.
When I graduated from high school at the age of 17, I decided to visit my granddad, whom I had seen only two times in my life. I had an entire week to spend at his home, and all I wanted to do was listen to him. As he spoke to me, the thing that impressed me above all else was hearing him say, “Charles, obey God. If He tells you to run your head through a brick wall, start for the wall. As you go to put your head through, God will make a hole for it.”
He knew a lot about brick walls and how the Lord makes holes in them. Though his youthful passion had been to preach, he’d had so little schooling that this dream seemed impossible—he didn’t know how to begin. But what my grandfather did was to get on his knees. Then he opened his Bible and learned to read well by practicing. And he began to preach by simply crying out to the Lord for help.
From those humble beginnings, my grandfather began to minister, and he eventually established numerous churches as God presented opportunities. That week of visiting and sharing taught me that when you really want to do the Lord’s will, He will move heaven and earth to show you the way. Amen
Another great day ahead of me...
