Of Blessings and Glitches

We are now far enough into the new year that a routine is returning to life. Abbie and I both have had head colds and coughs off and on over the past month or more, and we thank God that these problems seem to be going away.

There are always problems, however, and although some are minor in the overall scheme of things, we are affected by them. We had one day with the electricity going on and off a number of times and for extended periods...a result of that being that my desktop computer has stopped connecting to the Internet. I still have to resolve that software issue. Then we were without Internet for a couple of days, which brought its own annoying consequences in not being able to work and communicate as we have become used to doing. But as I said, in the overall scheme of things, these are mere glitches and nuisances. Our goals and aims must be on a grander scale than this.

I like the Portuguese translation of Hosea 6:3 "Conheçamos e prossigamos em conhecer ao Senhor." Literally: Let us get to know, and let us continue on getting to know the Lord." I rejoice to know that we are not alone in that pursuit. Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words.
