Doonesbury

In this morning's Doonesbury comic strip, aspiring writer, Jeff, asks his professional writer dad, "Dad, what do you do when you have nothing to say?"  Dad responds, "I say it anyway......".  Humor aside, I don't ever want to do that.  Each of these blog entries depends on inspiration from God and He faithfully writes the words.  I am honest enough to know that if I were to take the reins there could be trouble!
Today it's not so much that I am not inspired but rather that the health report is unchanged, thankfully.  I am isolating myself at home in order to keep well enough for a last shot at traveling before the "big guns" come out at the end of January.  Please pray for no surprises where our cancer is concerned and please pray also for many opportunities to tell of God's goodness through trials.
Before signing off I would like to share from the consistent encouragement received from our friend, Jon, in Washington state.  The verse he sent yesterday was 2 Kings 20:5, "...I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears.  Behold, I will heal you."  Thank you, Jon, for that reminder of the wonderful promises to be found in God's Word.  I wish I could quote Jon's entire email here but suffice it to say, Jon could be writing his own blog.  His words never fail to hit home.
