Day 312 - April 24 - I fixed the internet!

Once again, a very tiny untruth. But I'm back online again, amazed at how much of my life is now done through a computer. I figure roughly 70% of whatever it is I want to do each day is connected in some way with the internet, and it's quite surprising to deal with when the connection to that vast network is down! However did I function before the internet made its appearance?

In my daily reading, I've been working my way through Hebrews and James, which I wrapped up yesterday, so I was on the prowl for something good to read. I had been thinking lately about getting to know Jesus more - the more you know about a person, the better you are at becoming like them, right? - and I decided I wanted to read one of the gospels. So I cracked the book of Mark in order to go a little deeper into just who Jesus is.

Did you know that the very first thing Jesus did after his first time preaching in the synagogue was to heal someone? Yep, Mark chapter one is chock full of Christ healing and healing and healing. It's woven into everything He does through the entire chapter, and continues into chapter two. You gotta like that! I especially like verses 40-42; Jesus is moved to pity for the sick, and the heartfelt plea of a devestated man moves him to action.

The more I read, the more I like this guy.

Connor has been spending his days a bit frustrated because of the limitations placed on him by the modem failure, but he had a few friends come by in the afternoon yesterday, which helped pass the time. Hopefully today will be better for him.

Please be praying for our appointment next Monday with the new doctor I mentioned earlier, that she would be just the right person to help Connor at this point in the journey. Please also remember Cherie - her plate is so full and so often it feels as if there's nothing we can do to help. She really needs to be carried and to receive strength and health to continue the walk.

Thank you,

Eric
