- What I keep studying in Isaiah - how very very eternally, infinitely sovereign our Holy God is over our lives - those of us who are his - born again - the mystery of rebirth - and He will be glorified in us and He is the one doing the work in each of us who are His. We see our failures. He sees His work and His plan and He purposes that it will be accomplished. And He sees us covered in the righteousness of Christ because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. He draws us to Him. He completes the work He began in us when we were born again by His Holy Spirit.
- Now, due to the phone call which just came in, Ada's stomach virus which kept them all up last night - well - not John - although I don't know how John's frequent waking factored into the whole evening. And hoping the others don't get it, and if that virus is alive and well this weekend, I don't want to take Andrew there as planned, while Ann goes on a lady's retreat.

Maybe I'll check out studies by John Piper. or a new guy I just heard of yesterday - Eric Metaxas.

- Praying for my daughters and two sons-in-law and my grandchildren and how I want God to prevail in our lives and give us each very very very upfront encounters with Him - I want us to know Him more and more and more and more and deeper and deeper and deeper - I want Him to work out "stuff" in our hearts and minds that must go - Fill us up, fill us up, fill us up - call us - change us - make us - shape us. I want our eyes on Him and His purpose and His will and His glory. About Him, not us. the us includes Charlie and myself.
