Suppose you could have only one wish. For what would you ask? In Psalm 27, David asked to, "...gaze upon the beauty of the LORD..." This was a thought provoking question for me this week. I could ask for more "stuff" that I can't take with me! I could ask to go someplace like the moon. But it would only offer a temporary high. Maybe David was on to something! If I want to be like my Lord, and if I want Him to have all of me, what could be better than hanging out with Him and gazing on his beauty? Share some of your wishes with me.
Thursday was a routine chemo day for me, and now I get to sit back and see what side effects show up this week besides fatigue. It has now been six months since my chemo began. We also discovered another good Tucson Mexican restaurant called San Carlos Grill.
Since my days here appear to be getting shorter everyday, I have been trying to be more selective in how I spend my time. Discussing with friends how we can make a positive difference in people's lives has been fulfilling. Focussing on individuals rather than the whole world has helped. I have a tentative appointment with a Vietnamese gentleman. He is from a Communist, atheistic country and expressed a desire to know about God. I can't save the world, but if I can introduce one or two folks to the living God who changed me, isn't that worth the time and effort?
Because of your prayers our spirits continue to be up. Thanks so much and pray especially for my dear wife and caregiver, Mary. Since I am doing less and less due to fatigue, she is doing more and more.
Ed and Mary,
