Sat. Morning

OK..I have to admit.. this blogging thing is good.
Both Mark and I are thankful for the streamlined communication.
The pastor from my church has been a blogger for a while.
After prayer yesterday he said, "welcome to the blog world."
I don't have his skill with words, but the convenience is awesome.
Adam is doing better.
He (and all of us) are so touched by the comments here.
It makes Adam smile when he reads the words from friends, family, co- workers, high school friends....
If you feel like adding a comment, go for it, it's kind of fun.
He keeps telling his cardiologist, Dr Fetters, he can't wait to do back flips again.
I don't remember that he could do that before..but hey...miracles do happen!
I will settle for that silly grin and some energy again.
It's good to know he has high aspirations.
They took him up for his pre-surgery chest xray this morning.
They've also started doing an antibiotic in his nose- to help ward off bugs during surgery.
Fun stuff!
He has been so blessed with visitors.
They really help make his day.
It's been fun to share stories with everyone.
I'd forgotten a lot, and didn't know others.
Believe me, I'm glad I didn't know some of the stories before.
It's weird how we get little blessings.
The pastor from St. James in Marion was here yesterday.
He shared a few verses with us.
I've been clinging to one for the past few weeks.
I had been talking about this verse even before Adam was admitted.
That's where he started.
Coincidence..I don't think so.
He read Phil. 4:8
"Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things."
It really helps focus on the positive.
That's what we need right now.
If you pray, we appreciate it!
God is good! and he's answering all of the time.
If you believe in karma, this will help generate the good stuff.
If you are into kind thought, I'm asking for them.
All are needed, felt and appreciated right now.
More later,
Val
