Ephesians 6:12 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The spiritual battle for Christians is a serious matter indeed,

We must understand this struggle or we will never succeed.

The contest we face is demonic and Satan strives to destroy,

So we arm ourselves with His armor so His peace we can enjoy. (RP)

I am on the mend by degrees. This is the first day I will not be taking medicine since Monday when it began. It is powerful stuff, obviously. I am better and it hopefully did what it was supposed to. I will take Margie to the hairdresser this morning. That will be a test. This has been quite an illness. I don't care to repeat it. We are grateful our son is here to help when needed. He is working, but his schedule is still flexible, so he can help us when needed. We deeply appreciate this. Thanks for praying.
