The Minister's Cat: A blast from the past

A blast from the past

I remember when our Prime Minister chose to use a line from the desiderata in a speech to the nation. He said today is the first day of the rest of your life - that’s how it seems around here. In my last post I spoke of all the activities going on and now yesterday and today I have been practicing with all the new devices. It truly seems like the first day of the rest of my life. It reminds me of the first verse I ever memorized Two Corinthians 5: 17. If so today is the second day, which brings me to the second day of creation. How I wish it was the seventh day. Pray with us that I will be able to master all the assistive technology.

We pray you have it all down pat on the seventh day John....You now know more than we do on this day!!! :) :) It must be a lot of mind strenuous work trying this out and mastering it.

Keep working and we will keep praying....

Love to you and Laverne..

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
