Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard
the voice of my supplications. 
Psalm 28:6 

While my faith in Jesus remains strong, my body is oftentimes weak...

Even though I try to take good care of myself, I still have human struggles with sickness as well as with an array of physical ailments that come upon me on occasion. They slow me down for awhile. But the good part is that these things help to keep me humble and totally dependent upon God.

For the past several weeks, for example, I've been battling a case of bronchitis. I believe it was brought on by a combination of second hand smoke and a change in the weather. It's put a drain on my body. And there's been a few days when I lost my voice, too.

Yet I am required to do my assigned work. I also have to carry on with my duties in the chapel. I have personal correspondence to answer as well. Nevertheless, the tiredness which accompanies my present sickness has kept me from writing in my journal as often as I'd like.

I'll be fine, however. In the midst of my afflictions He provides me with the strength to go on. This bout of bronchitis shall pass. By Jesus' wounds I am healed.

D.B.
