Carol Wilson Update

Stage 4 Cancer brought many challenges--and also a host of loving and praying friends. Almost-daily postings to this site are to help my friends walk with me through this journey, and to express my gratitude to them and especially to God...On 7/8/08 Carol passed through that final curtain of death and is now healed. We thank God for her life and "arrival"! Chuck

Loving One's Work

Chuck is reading the book "Heaven," which I mentioned here several weeks ago. Today's section is headed "Service as a Reward," reflecting the New Testament's promise that those who have served humbly and faithfully in life will be given positions of greater responsibility in eternity. That must not sound like good news to people who hate their jobs! (Don't worry; God is too smart and loving to give anyone a reward that isn't perfect for them.) But it got us thinking about the work we love to do here, and how thankful we are to have work that we love. God is so good to have put us in this place for "the third half" of our lives.

And I'm grateful to feel some energy returning; I plan to go to the office this morning for a few hours. I'm happy to report that our young designer did a terrific first draft of the entire magazine by the end of the day Friday. It truly has never before come together so well at every stage. Thanks for your prayers.

Yesterday, having heard that the rubythroated hummingbirds (at least the males) are back in town, I brewed up some sugar water and put out the feeders. What a gorgeous time of year this is!

Chuck had quite a struggle over the weekend with extreme dizziness. He slept a great deal, and rested between naps. He feels well this morning, and we'd really appreciate your prayers that he'll stay well. We're also asking God to guide him regarding any medical attention he might need.

Love,
Carol, for Chuck too
