Typhoons test our trust in the Captain. Does God know what he is doing? Can he get us out? Why did he allow the storm? Can you say about God what I said about Milt? I know God knows what’s best.I know I don’t. I know he cares.

Such words come easily when the water is calm. But when you’re looking at a wrecked car or a suspicious-looking mole, when war breaks out or thieves break in, do you trust him?

To embrace God’s sovereignty is to drink from the well of his lordship and make a sailboat-in-the-storm decision. Not in regard to Milt and the sea, but in regard to God and life. You look toward the Captain and resolve: he knows what’s best. - Max Lucado, Come Thirsty.

We are home from the hospital and recovering. I will go later today for a shot and to get the PICC line out. I finished chemo #1 and will have surgery within the next few weeks (possible amputation) and then will have at least one more round of chemo.

Apparently as smart as 'em doctors are:) we still have to resort to barbarian means when treating cancer!! Pelvis is fractured. Must replace pelvis with optimal surgical margin in order to capture disease. We are basically looking at hemipelvectomy (right). I am praying that Dr M will have great solutions when he returns from vacation next week on which type of surgery is optimal. God has a plan.

To be faithful in every circumstance means that we have only one loyalty and that is to our Lord. Oswald Chambers
