Friday Noon

Dear Friends,

I heard from Karin at 10:00 a.m. that they were waiting for transport back to Champaign. She also wanted me to ask you to pray for Sam as his doctor did another CT scan this morning. He was concerned about his lack of responsiveness. We trust that the Lord is healing Sam and that He will provide everything he needs.

Our confidence is not in human hands. It is a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It is the unfolding story of a Christian's daily life.

1 Peter 1:6 "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

In Him,
Cristal
