Update

April 12, 2023

Hi all, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted, and so many have sent such kind “are you okay’s,” and I deeply appreciate your care and readership.

So this is long overdue.

This year has been very challenging. I’ve had a number of health problems associated with my Crohn’s disease. So, in my free time, I’ve been spending all my time with our kids, working on a book, all while my wonderful wife mercifully takes care of the $ side of things.

I’m hoping that I can get back to posting very soon.

Again, thanks so much for your encouragement, readership, and I hope to get posting soon.

I’ll leave you with one of my favorite verses I came across recently.

From who else, but King David: “Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.” Psalm 4:2.

So often, we — for good reason! — look for healing from various sources. God bless everyone involved in healthcare. From the top down. You are angels.

But who do we pray to? Who do I pray to? That’s a substantially different question from, “What medication do I take? What does the doctor say.”

And of course, it’s only Jesus. It’s only our Father in heaven. With only the help of the Spirit.

So take that verse with you in your dark times: “For I pray to no one but you,” even as you seek medical help because that’s enormously important.

Look forward to posting again soon!
