Matthew 24:42 says that we do not know which day our Lord is coming, but that we should be on the alert or "watching." When a scheduled airline arrives in Denver the controller knows all the details about the plane and the various stages in its flight. He knows when it will arrive. On the other hand, a young lady whose fiance is on the flight knows only the approximate time of arrival, but is overjoyed at the prospect of his coming. Wouldn't you agree that it is better to know little about Christ's coming and have a heart full of anticipation than to know specific details and be indifferent. Perhaps this is the difference between watching and waiting. A person watching has a joyful heart that is waiting in hope. All I know is that with the passing of this day we are closer to His return and I hope that finds you waiting in hope with a joyful heart also.
On a medical note, the bilirubin has moved up four points, to 35.4, and as of today, Wednesday, we have not received the results of the MRI brain scan I had done yesterday. We continue to value your prayers for issues pertaining to the liver, the dry mouth and the mind.
