Monthly blog report

Yes it has been over a month since I have posted anything on here. In my last blog I told you I was back to work and I am still working up toward Port Huron. It has been a difficult time as my body continues to remind me that I am closer to 55 now than I am 25. I have been sick for over a week and did not go to work today to try and get over whatever it is I have had. I feel like I am close to getting back to normal, whatever that is. ha
I only have a few more weeks left on this job and I hope I can endure until the end. I am thankful to have a job during this time when so many people have lost their jobs or can not find work. Living in Michigan during this economic downturn can bring a person down with it if you allow it to. So much negativity throughout the media does not help. I find myself turning off the news station on my radio on the way to and from work each day and listening to my New Testament tapes or good Bible preaching and teaching on the one station we have that carries them.
I am so thankful for all the blessings God has given me during this point of my life. I am thankful for a great group of people at our church that care for one another. I am thankful for a wonderful wife who shows her love for me in so many ways. I am thankful for a son and daughter-in-law who keep in touch with us even though we are separated by many miles. (Yes cell phones and the internet are a great help in this.)I am thankful for a purpose to live here in this sinful world that has so many problems. I have to admit I do get sidetracked from this purpose (to honor and glorify God with everything I have or do) at times but am grateful that God is patient with me and still uses me for His honor and glory in many different ways.
Please pray for my Aunt Mickey as she is dealing with a very difficult health issue at this time. Also pray for my and Benita's family members many who do not know Jesus Christ yet as their Lord and Savior. Hopefully it will be sooner than a month before I post again. Lord Bless!
