I remember a news program, but none of the details of it, entitled "The Week In Review", so here is a brief recap of our past week. As I blogged, this week marked the 19th anniversary of
my becoming a Jesus follower. On Wednesday we went to The VA and I was treated for a nasty sinus infection, which has improved significantly. As always happens at the VA, we get to meet and talk with a number of vets about their post-military health issues and the treatment they have received from the VA. In almost every case, the VA has more than taken good care of them, considering some of the things they have endured because of service-related injuries and illnesses which resulted from their service. The Agent Orange issue has been a tragic situation for many of the vets and their families. I applaud the wives who have stood by their husbands as their man's body has been altered by the Agent Orange exposure.
I was able to nap a few times and feel less worn out after another hot and humid four-day performance week. I had to fill in for Dick as the morning Tabernacle presenter, because of a tumble he took at home on Tuesday which kept him away for the end of the week. A hose on our refrigerator ice-maker burst causing a little water leakage inside. We will need a repair, but are not without water for our other needs. We set a Holy Land attendance high of 336 for the year, including a 103 year old woman who was a delight and made our busy day a lot more enjoyable and enlightening. Church today was very emotional with its tribute to America, honoring of veterans, Mark's heart-rending message about our being active and committed doers of the Great Commission.
It's been a good week. I reflected on a number of times in my life, on events which impacted me deeply at the time and are once again impacting me and how I view the path before us. How are we are going to continue serving The Lord? Where are we going to spend our winter months this year? Is there something new on the horizon? Are we listening enough to know God's plan for us? We had a drizzle of rain today, but it hardly made any difference to the drought-like situation we have had the past two months. July has been the most trying summer month here and we have already had a July-like May and June. What can we anticipate?
More questions than answers, but we press on. God has it all figured out.
