Thank you for your prayers for my brother. They worked! He's in recovery...had quadruple by-pass. Lesson in this---I had a mild heart attack on Friday the 13th. Totally without warning. I turned beans on the stove off and drove to ER. Had a stent put in on Sat.,Valentine's Day. Home by 10:30 on Sunday, Feb. 15.
My brother had noticed some shortness of breath walking up an incline and after my experience decided he should have his heart checked out. The heart cath they did Monday morning showed a lot of blockage. He had developed some new veins around some of the blockages.
The ONLY warning sign he had had was the shortness of breath at an airport. He has had no pain. He has not had a heart attack and has no other heart damage. But he needed 4 by-passes.
Heed any/all warnings.
Thanks again for prayers.

The Definite Choice
Coming from someone who used to value ancestral gods, my 90-year-old fathers statement near the end of his life was remarkable: When I die, he spoke laboriously, nobody should do anything other than what the church will do. No soothsaying, no ancestral sacrifices, no rituals. As my life is in the hands of Jesus Christ, so shall my death be!
My father chose the path of Christ in his old age when he invited Jesus into his life as Savior. His contemporaries mocked him: An old man like you shouldnt be going to church! But my fathers choice to follow and worship the true God was definite, like the people Joshua addressed.
Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, Joshua challenged them. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (24:15). Their response was resolutethey chose to worship the Lord. Even after Joshua warned them to count the cost (vv.19-20), they still resolved to follow the Lord, recalling His deliverance, provision, and protection (vv.16-17,21).
Such a confident choice, however, calls for equally confident actions, as Joshua strongly reminded them: Put away the foreign gods . . . and incline your heart to the Lord (v.23). Have you made a choice to live for God?
Teach me all it means, Lord, to choose You. I want my words, actions, and attitudes to show the love for You that I have in my heart. You are worthy of far more than I could ever do.
A definite choice demands definite actions.
