Dianne, Chad, Bella and I went to Southside fellowship this Sunday morning. Brian Onken was preaching and is continuing the series in the book of Mark. One of the points that comes to mind from the sermon is that we should trust God and not just trust in the things that he can do for us. After the service I was talking to Brian about this point, and it reminds me of times that children come up to us and ask us for things, and the child really wants more than to just give them what they ask for, which in most cases would be the simplest thing to do. God also wants more from us than that - he wants us to trust him and have faith in him totally and he wants us to talk with him, walk with him, and make him a part of our everyday life in a meaningful way. It was special when Brian then asked me if he could pray for us, and his prayer was touching.
Dianne began to feel horrible during the worship service due to the effects of the chemo. When we got home she was totally wiped out and had to lay down all afternoon. Today has been a really rough day. Dianne's sister and mother drove down from Charlotte to be with Dianne and to help out around the house. This means so much to us, and we are so thankful. Donna cooked a wonderful meal for us tonight and Dianne was able to eat but drinking liquids is hard. She did eat some watermelon which is a source of liquids for her.
My brother Bobby had a birthday today, his 63rd. I called him on the phone and he was so inspirational to me. Bobby is living a Godly life for the Lord and has a wonderful wife Joan and two lovely children, Tommy and Carrie. Bobby reminded me of the September 12 1954 when our dad led he and I to the Lord in our bedroom. Bobby was 8 years old and I was 5. Dad led Bobby to the Lord and I was crying and Dad asked me what was wrong and I said I wanted to be saved and that was the night that we both started a new life.......Bruce
