Eureka Springs Arkansas

I get to go for doughnuts tomorrow with my son-in-law and granddaughter. Then we all go together to Eureka Springs. That is where Laurie and I spent our honeymoon. We stayed in the Crescent Hotel. See picture to left.

It will be a great day.

I don't want it to end but I am also looking forward to Sunday. I have a great sermon I received from God and Albert McClellan (a great friend of Dr. Sam Scantland). It is an old book but the truths about faith are remarkable. I am learning from it. It is called Creative Expectancy he was a very insightful man and speaks my language. He is on my wave link. 

I also look forward to meeting with two couples for marriage counseling, having Ken Shiplet speak on dealing with conflict and on going to the State Bible Conference on Monday. I am so blessed beyond my expectations.

I am seeing God do some miraculous things. The market has come back in a gangbuster way for my portfolio. I took some risks and it was worth it. God was guiding all the way. He did it and my job now is to get the thing in a place where I don't have to mess with it or be preoccupied with it. God help me to get to that place soon.  I am seeing some church conflict and know it is in the center of God's will. Some may not understand but God is in charge. He is leading me to deal with something that has been around a long time.

I am dealing with decisions and seeking to enter the rest talked about in Hebrews. I have struggled with a health issue but God even used that. My face is no longer crooked. However, I still feel some paralysis. A reminder of my temporary nature. I am not build to stay here forever. 

My granddaughter drew a fish on my hand with a pen, asked me to read a book to her, charmed me in dozens of ways and made me proud that I have grown older. 

Tomorrow will be good. I will take what comes my way. I will be content. I will seek to be a peacemaker. I will seek to touch others. I am His and He is mine. I am full.
