Welcome 2006 - pass the kleenex...

It has been a lifetime since I sat to post an entry and I appologize for my absence and lack of stories or inappropriate medical humor. More shall be coming soon.
I sit with OJ, kleenex, dayquil and the remote in my lap. The first illness of my PA school career....which isnt' too shabby since I started over 7 months ago. (A record for my less than boisterous immune system) The bacteria and virus particles caught up to me during the busy and fullfilling holiday season.
The basics of our 3 weeks 'off' included 3 days in Seattle, 4 days in Sacramento/Pleasanton and 4 days in San Diego for the fabulous wedding of my brother -in-law Eric to his beautiful bride Lacey.
It was a whirlwind - but wonderful...
here are a few of the favorites...

Pray

December 11...
Enter...final's week

''...So too, how often we throw dirt in the air and wail and moan, ripping our clothes and crying, 'where are You, Lord'? - when He's right in our midst, working everything out perfectly..."
- Jon Courson

It is for this week of the semester that my title 'Glimpses of Grace' was coined. It is when grace is most evident, most needed, and most lacking in many lives including my own.
It is just not fun.

And this particular week I solicit your help. We all could use prayer. There is the obvious need of course - supernatural test taking abilities. But with age and responsibility comes a steeper road. There are folks who aren't achieving, rumors of 'dishonesty', troubled relationships, misunderstood intentions, hurt feelings, restless sleep, aching bodies. Our fuses are short and our tanks are empty. Even our favorite soccer field has become a hostile environment.... I got sidelined last game... oops

Pray that I - and WE - remember that He's right in our midst. That all this stress and pain and ugliness can be transformed to a tapestry of beautiful talent, skill and grace - hard won by God's grace and power.

Help us remember to seek Him.
Pray.
