Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,

Psalm 55:22 & Tommy

Another beautiful morning...the mist upon the water, the sound of the birds,
the amazing flutter of the hummingbird, the warmth of the sun, and yet for
all this goodness, a young father lies in a hospital bed in critical
condition, fighting for his life because his kidneys have failed. He refused
dialysis for the past nine years so that he could spend quality time with
his two teenage boys...dialysis for some people just isn't a good
experience...it can rob more of your life than give it back...i have seen
this first hand. So for Tommy Logsdon, he chose to put his trust in the
Lord, after receiving all that the medical world could do within reason.
Now with double pneumonia and kidneys failing, will this be the end? As I
listen to the song of the birds this morning I am reminded that Jesus said
that we are of more value than sparrows. In Psalm 55:22 God encourages us
with this reminder: "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you;
he will never permit the righteous to be moved."
When I was first saved, Debbie and I were the youth leaders for our
church. Tommy was one of the "kids" in our group. May the Lord miraculously
deliver him.
