Ruth Post Surgery

Thanks again for those of you who pray for my mother-in-law, Ruth Colyer. She has come successfully through her surgery. She is recovering at the hospital. Please continue to pray that God would continue to be with her, heal her body, comfort her pain, and be strengthening her in every way in Christ.

In Christ,

Greg

Another word on Ruth

OK, a quick word for my prayers on my mother-in-law Ruth. Her cancer continues to give her trouble. She has a spot on the occipital (back part) of her brain to be removed Tues. around 7am. Pray for her healing. Pray for her recovery (Dr.'s are optimistic). Pray the doctors would be instruments in God's hands to heal her. Pray that He would go beyond what they can do and do a miracle. Most of all, remember to pray for strengthening of her faith in Jesus and trust of Him--because she is going through a trial. In the end, that we trust Him is more important than any temporary healing or temporary comfort in this world. Remember:

This world is not my home, I'm just passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Chorus
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

God bless you all!

Arrested Hearing

My goodness! I was so stupid as a teenager listening to music! I absolutely listened to music for the sound and not the message. For instance, I would listen to "Highway to Hell," knowing good and well Jesus didn't like it. When I was listening to GnR's "You Could Be Mine," (remember Terminator 2 fans?), a song with little spiritual worth (or none), the above song by Arrested Development was on the radio. I liked this single "Tennessee," quite a bit, but not nearly as much as my stupid rock-n-roll. Now, after like 13 years, I see this video, and its all about God's guidance of the singers life!? Ironic what you can't hear when you're not listening for it, huh?
