As Promised . . .

Here's the swan family in front of our lake house in Indiana. We feel so blessed that they continue to stay in our little corner of the lake. The babies are catching up to the parents in size, aren't they?

God answered prayer. I stayed in bed all day, but enjoyed several hours of listening to CDs and about one hour of good reading. It's amazing how meaningful music can be when it's not mere background noise. Here are the words of the final song on Steven Curtis Chapman's album "All Things New."

What can I do / How can I live / To show my world / The treasure of Jesus?
What will it take / What could I give / So they can know / The treasure He is?
And if I can sing / Let my songs / Be full of His glory.
If I can speak / Let my words be full of His grace.
And if I should live or die / Let me be found / Pursuing this prize-- The One that alone satisfies / The treasure of Jesus.

And now I'm tired, so I'll head back to bed. Thanks for your love and prayers.
