We are hard pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed...
2 Corinthians 4:8
As a new month rolls in, I want to take a moment to thank the Lord for His faithfulness in seeing me through a rough stretch...

As my close friends know. I've had to deal with some physical and mental weariness. And I do need to slow the pace down a bit to allow for recuperation. I'm a bonafide overachiever and workaholic by nature, and I'm paying the price for this. But for a man who's 70 years old, I think I'm doing good for my age, to include having to live in a very stressful environment - prison!
While at the same time, I am dealing with several strange situations. But God's word says not to be troubled by these things, and to rejoice instead. Because such trials and tests help us to grow spiritually. They cause our faith to develop to deeper levels as we learn to "endure all things." It is here where we come to understand that God's grace is sufficient for all circumstances.
Although I'm being squeezed on every side, as it so often feels, the truth is my faith is growing stronger. For this I am most thankful. God has a good purpose for everything.
