Greatest Fear

Yesterday I was reading some letters from SIM missionaries (my way of keeping up with what God is doing around the world and getting ideas for future magazines). This statement grabbed my attention: "Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter." Sobering, isn't it? I want to pay attention to what really matters, and to pursue it with whatever energy and time are left for me, however long that is.

I'm feeling well. Did some yard work yesterday, in addition to the SIM work.

I understand we have very good news from the friend with the eye disease, but I haven't been able to talk with her yet. It sounds as if God is answering prayer, and I'll pass the news on as soon as I get it.

Our middle grandson Jeremy senses God's call to take a year off between high school and university to serve in Africa. He plans to go to Niger, one of the two poorest nations on earth. He has set up a blog (www.jeremyinafrica.blogspot.com) and it's pretty exciting. We're looking forward to having him stay with us this summer during his preparation time.

Thanks for your love and prayers.
