One Month Later

Ok, yeah...I know. I've done it again. Here we are, a month since this page was last active. Let's see...in the past month the Cardinals went from sneaking back in to the playoff race to a colossal nose-dive back to third place. Bummer. Illinois football is enjoying its best start since 2001, however. Oskee-Wow-Wow, Illinois!

I've been working, which is good. It's not the type of thing I'd really like to be doing, but God has been gracious to provide for us. Our families have been tremendous blessings to us over the past month, helping meet our needs. We are very, very grateful to them and thankful for them. Most of all, we praise God and thank Him for meeting our needs each and every day. I am reminded of the Israelites and their trek through the forbidding desert after their exodus from Egypt. Each day, the Lord provided manna and quail for the people to eat. He provided enough for the day, with explicit instructions to take only what was needed, rather than trying to stockpile. The people of Israel had to trust God each day to meet their needs.

Our needs are being met on a daily basis, and then some. We are thankful that God has blessed us so much.
