Happy Monday!

It has been a very busy day. There were three TCU students in my classroom today, one teaching a lesson and the other two observing and assisting her and the students. Also, I spent an hour plus on the phone with the Help Desk while they repaired the Promethean board. The whole process was like magic. I made a call and they worked their magic from a remote site. It was sort of like watching the second Harry Potter movie when the book writes to him. My computer mouse moved seemingly on its own, clicking folders and going every which way. The good news is that the problem I was having with the board in now fixed!

Geni worked at a middle school today. Travis is healing nicely and began to lift again within his physical therapy as well as in his training. Travis has decided to follow the path of becoming a physical therapist. He signed up for classes today with the assistance of advisors that will help him accomplish his goal. Work had not been returning to Bruce until tonight when the phone rang and someone needs him to work tomorrow. We are so very thankful. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Awesome news from the Dave and Carme front! Dave will be dismissed from the hospital on Friday. YEA!!! He is so excited. He will return to work in a few weeks. Carme will take delivery of the new, completely accessible, tricked-out van by mid-week. He has his new motorized chair and they may come to visit us before long! Again, praise God from all blessings flow!

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Have you ever considered the promise found in this short verse? When two or three gather in the name of Jesus, Jesus says He will be in the midst of them. When two gather then Jesus is the third. When more gather, Jesus is present and completes the circle of faith. That circle of faith holds power. When we gather together in the name of Jesus, bonded together by the His Spirit, the Holy Spirit; we not only greet one another and greet Jesus, but through the uniting of our hearts with His Spirit we are able to hear His Voice. Imagine and ponder the power in that small circle of believers.

Exodus 25:8 “Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.”

When we gather in the name of the Lord, we claim sanctuary. We are privy to His Voice and are united in service to the One who created us, called us as His own children, loved us, forgave us, redeemed us for eternity and granted us His ever present, never-ending grace.

God desires to dwell with us. We become the sanctuary of praise when we gather in His name with other believers. Friends, when we come into contact with each other let us greet each other with the saying, “the Lord be with you”, for when the Lord dwells in our midst the power of the Almighty God is present.

Take joy in the journey and wear comfortable shoes. Greet one another with joy and claim holiness in the name of Jesus. Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene, Geni and Travis.

I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe and I believe God.
