Doing well!

So far, things have been going smoothly for Simon at home. They gave Dean and Summer a monitor for heart and breathing. This not only alerts us to any stress Simon experiences but gives us all an ability to relax a little. Summer has to feed Simon every 3 hours through the NG tube. Dean is catching up at work and some of the pressure is off of Sandi and me Tobi and Trey are really appreciating having Mom and Dad around and in charge.

I found an interesting Bible passage from the book of Joshua this morning: Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?" The commander of the LORD’s army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.

We asked God to preserve Simon and He has answered our prayers. It is tempting to think we are somehow favored above others who have not had the same answers to their prayers. This is not a temptation we should entertain. We only know this: God is in control. We are still alive. So is Simon. It's time to worship Him.
