" Martin Luther I'm not sure he actually reads it everyday but it is on his mirror were he shaves. I moved it out of the bathroom into our computer room after he got home from the hospital. He's in a wheel chair now and not at all happy about it. It's only been 9 months so I guess it's a little too early for him to see how on earth God could turn this for his good. At this point he's still angry with himself and with God for letting the devil still kill and distroy the joy he hoped for in his retirement years. He's not an easy person to live around 24/ 7 so I guess the purpose might be that the more hell on earth we experiance the greater blessing death seems to be and Heaven starts looking pretty good at this point. I know we've surely broken down and done our share of begging to God, just asking Him to let us die so we can get free of all this.<BR/>Remember when St. Peter tryed to walk on water and went down ? Remember when our Lord reached out to save him and put him back in the boat, that's our hope too, that God will save us too and come put us back in the boat we were in before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453875372487979052.post-7720984153144782702008-07-06T19:53:00.000-07:002008-07-06T19:53:00.000-07:00Thanks David.
