For those of you who prayed for me in my recent operation to restore my left arm and hand I wanted to give you a praise report. This week I went to San Antonio for a checkup with the surgeon and he gave a glowing report. He said everything looked great and all circulation was restored. The once gone pulse in my fingers is now back to normal and the doctors words were, “you have a better pulse than me in your fingers now.” This is God!
After last years surgery debacle in June where it was a complete failure, it was sure good to see how the Lord moved on my behalf in this recent operation to set things in order for the rest of my life. I need my left arm and hand. My final prayer for all this is that soon I will be able to play my violin again. Something I have not been able to do for 3 years.

Sometimes it feels like life works in circles. This last couple of days has really felt like that for sure. After moving to the church property earlier this summer, it came time for me to move out of that temporary situation and into something more permanent. The logical choice for me was to move into the house I once shared with my brother Jonathan before we both married the Hart sisters. I never thought that I would find myself living in that house again and a flood of emotion coursed through me as I came back to look things over. Life has many turns and bends. Who knew when I left this house for St. Thomas in Oct. 04 (where Dovie and I were married at the Ritz-Carlton) that I would ever be back living here again? In some ways it seems like a dream. Not bad, not good, but still a dream.
In the big picture, life goes on and my heart has time to heal and prepare for the wonderful future that Jesus has for me. Day by day and month my month the Lord does His healing work in me. If you have suffered loss or tragedy in your life my advice to you is take it one day at a time and allow the Holy Spirit to be your Comforter and Counselor.
Psa. 73:23-24 Yet I still belong to You; You hold my right hand. You guide me me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
