Hebrews 12:1-2a

"Let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with Endurance
the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith."
Hebrews 12:1-2a

Moving Forward - Day 33

We both woke at 7 this morning.

Jim reminded me to put the flag out. Today is BeeJay Bunny Boy's birthday - he died two years ago and would have been 15 today - on Flag Day. So the flag is out in his honor and for our country.

My morning devotional was in Isaiah 61:10, but God led me to Isaiah 62:10 --

"Go through,
Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the peoples!" 


A most interesting verse in many ways.

One, because God has given me a book to write about the stones that lead us astray and guide us to the Rock of Jesus

Two, because it is a command to God's people, to Jim and I, to go, wherever we are, proclaim His divine word, take out the stones - the stones of darkness, of fleshly pursuits, to encourage, to show the way of Christ to all.

When I called Jim at 9 to share this verse, he said the doctor was in and he is to start clear liquids. He may be able to go home in a couple of days. Jim wants to go home on Tuesday.

I was up to see him between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Today's menu included 8 ounces of apple juice, a snack-size jello, and for supper, hard candy.

Jim says his pain is letting up some, making it easier for him to get around.
