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

Delightful Visit


Restaurant on the beach
Lisa and I had a delightful time with Paul and Ruth while visiting them on the Island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.  The weather was a bit windier than usual but was no problem for us.  In fact we got some beautiful views from their home at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean.  There are many outcroppings of coral rock along the beach a short distance away, and the breakers would spray far into the air as they thundered in, leaving vast amounts of foaming sea that looked like a huge quantity of soap suds.  On the Caribbean side, the sea is usually quite calm and a great place to enjoy the spacious sand beaches and gorgeous blue water.

Continuing to read through the Scriptures each morning, today I read Deuteronomy chapter 5 which includes the Ten Commandments.  After presenting the Commandments to the Israelites, Moses told the people that the Lord had heard them as they spoke to him and said; “I have heard what this people said to you.  Everything they said was good.  Oh that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all of my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!”  (Deut. 5:28-29)  I like the reminder from Moses at the end of the chapter; “So be careful…Walk in obedience…so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days…”  (Vs. 32-33)  So let us not only speak the truth, but internalize it and allow it to change our hearts and lives.  A good reminder throughout each day!

Love to all,

Chuck
