I slept well but woke up early, as usual. It snowed some more during the night but the roads are passable and traffic is moving. The sky should be clearing and it will start to warm up. Yesterday it never got up to 20 and we stayed in except to go get the mail and feed the pets.
I am ready! I can tolerate the clear liquids and colon cleansing today. Just bring it on. I will get to visit all of my daughters tomorrow!
I've been thinking about the word submit, or submission. Paul tells us in Romans, Ephesians, and other places to submit: to authorities and governments, to each other, wives to husbands, slaves to masters, children to fathers, etc. I thought about how, when I lay on that table, I am in total submsision to the doctors and nurses--literally placing my life in their hands. People used to do that when they rode in a helicopter with me, and we do that when we get on a plane today--totally submit to and trust the pilot.
That is what Jesus asks us to do daily; deny ourselves, submit to and trust and follow Him.

Hey Ralph! Good morning! Laree and I are thinking about you buddy and you are absolutely on our prayer list...We will keep in touch. You are right about trusting people too. Remember the first time you took Laree up in your PPC? She wouldn't have even climbed a ladder up till then. That was the start of what has been a long and blessed friendship. We won't mention the flight where I almost ran over her with you in the backseat because I was trying to take off like a C-150 pilot....
ReplyDeleteYES! And we are so thankful for blessed saints like you and Carol that so lovingly trains their daughters and fellow new Christians in the way they follow by the example and lives you have lived. Thank you so much for all you have done!
