Wordless Wednesday

Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, 

waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! 

Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, 

vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!  

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior; 

he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! 

Up from the grave he arose; 

with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; 

he arose a victor from the dark domain, 

and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. 

He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

"But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where het lay." Matthew 28:5-6

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" " John 11:25-26

"Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Romans 6:8-11

Nurse Mommy is in.

There are people who will know what I mean when I say we have been hit with the post-lectureship crud. 

Every year there happens to be a select group of people who go home with sickness. The Gospel isn't the only thing that's being spread up there - it's germs, too, and we all take it back home to spread around and share the love. Well, this past weekend I played Nurse Wifey for Carl as he was laid up on the couch, especially on Sunday. And yesterday he was pretty up and active and went to the doctor for some meds and I was thinking we are finally out of the woods! 

... And then my poor Benjamin started feeling ill this morning. A 100.3 fever, sniffles, probably some aches that he isn't telling me about (besides his head), coughing. I've put on my nurse's cap once more. I would really appreciate your prayers. I'm hoping that I won't come down with it as well. And I am also hoping Benjamin will stay down long enough to get better!! 

I'm also expecting my honorary nursing degree by the end of the week, you know...

Thanks, friends, for the prayers!
