You could describe me with the 5 C's: ~Christian,Conservative, Compassionate, Capitalist, Constitutionalist. I am a broken man, in more ways than one; I am a sinner and beg for forgiveness daily, and I, somewhat like Paul, have a thorn in my side (2 Cor 12:7), it reminds me daily that I must ask for God's grace, mercy and strength.
Lauren is still in the hospital. She's been in Vanderbilt since last
Wednesday. But, yesterday afternoon she had surgery and the docs replaced
the permanent IV line in her chest. She is resting comfortably, though
her oxygen levels seem to be low since the surgery last night. She is
going to recieve two units of blood this morning and when her red cell
levels rise they are hoping her oxygen levels will, too. Pray they do. We
are hopeful that she will be allowed to go home either this afternoon or
in the morning. It's been a long 1-1/2 weeks for her (and for Tammy and
Reese).
Psalms 12:5
"For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise," says the Lord; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."
12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
12:7
You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
