This morning for a while it didn't look like I would be able to go to church. I woke up last night drenched in sweat and this morning I began throwing up. Shonna called the Doctor and he told her to take me to the emergency room. I declined the invitation and I am so glad that I did. Today was Pastor's appreciation day at the church. But for me, it wasn't about me--it was about HIM. The sweet Holy Spirit filled the house this morning. Jesus was lifted up and the sweetness of worship was far greater medicine than anything I could have received in the emergency room.
On so many levels today has been a blessing to me. The folks at Batley encouraged me beyond anything I deserved. I had the privlege of worshipping my Lord with my beautiful bride (soon to be my bride of 33 years). The twins (Jeremy and Jared) were both able to come with their beautiful brides (Tara and Mariah). The church was filled this morning with both members and visitors (our special guests). Tonight I will attempt to preach on "God speaks in the storm." I know that now in a way I've never known before.
Tomorrow will be a full day of receiving chemotherapy, followed by two days of taking chemotherapy by a pump that I will wear. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I am just taking one day at a time now. I have learned to count my days and to make my days count. I love each of you and my prayer is that you will allow God to use you in a special way for his glory.
Luke
