Your Choice Matters!

This is one of my favorite Bible verses.... simple and to the point!

Good Morning!

One of the readings for our Bible study this week is: Exodus 17: 8-13. I loved this visual of support: In a battle between the warriors of Amalek and the Israelites, Moses stood at the top of the hill with the rod of God in his hand. "As long as Moses held up the rod in his hand, Israel was winning; but whenever he rested his arms at his side, the soldiers of Amalek were winning. Moses' arms finally became too tired to hold up the rod any longer; so Aaron and Hur rolled a stone for him to sit on, and they stood on each side holding up his hands until sunset."

A teacher friend of mine had lots of wise sayings! Whenever someone would get overwhelmed at work, Debbie would say to them:  "You can hold a glass of water for about 15-20 minutes, but you cannot hold it forever... eventually you have to choose to either put it down or ask someone else for help to take it for a while."

Our family support has been a huge blessing during this pandemic! It continues to be a daily choice to stay positive and supportive of one another, and our communities. Thanks for holding up my arms!

 Lots to pray for right now: within our own families, our nation and and for the whole world!

Birthday Shout Out: November 2 🎂

Today is Brian's birthday! I cannot believe that he is 37! Our birthdays are forever intertwined... Brian arrived a little earlier that his due date; I entered the hospital when I was 29 years old and came out as a 30 year old! Brian came over last night to celebrate with us! He continues to inspire us with his resiliency, sensitivity, kindness, and humor. Brian has made me a better person in so many ways, and still continues to teach me the gifts of love, humility, grace, patience, surrender, and always, always... hope! If you want to text him for his birthday... his number is: (949) 356-8435. He truly cherishes family!

Prayers Please!

Marty is having heart surgery today for a blocked carotid artery. As soon as we have an update from Monita, we will post it. 

Annie  is recovering from another shoulder surgery that she had last week, and would appreciate prayers!

Praise Report

John and Marcie Bryant welcomed another grand-daughter last week; their son, Sean had another baby girl!

A huge shout-out to the brave firefighters that battled the Orange County Silverado Fire last week. It came within 2- 3 miles from our home... I spent the night at Nancy's last Monday (thank you Nancy and Fred for your gracious hospitality!)... it was too close for my comfort! But all is well here now!

Melda and I have been accepted into the Irvine Fine Arts Holiday Faire, being held this Saturday, November 7th at the Great Park in Irvine. We have had so much fun creating new things on her summer porch... we were quite a sight... 2 summer sisters playing with our sea glass! (sometimes 3, and even 4, as Michelle and Chris joined us from time to time).

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
