BIRTHDAY

The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all.  Prov 22:2

When we stand before God we are all the same, there's no rank, position or class,

Whether rich or poor, sickly or well before God you can't pay for a pass,

Common ground before God is the place where we stand, no one can boast any thing,

We stand before Him in our helpless estate, and we can only our sin to him bring. (RP)

After church yesterday we drove 35 miles south to Burlington and met our family at the Red Robin restaurant for my birthday lunch. It was a great time and we appreciated it very much. Then we drove back to the church to congratulate Alice Joy on her 90th birthday celebration. Unfortunately, her daughter Barbara, recovering from recent surgery, was taken home by other friends. On that trip a driver ran into the van and all three occupants were taken to the hospital. We fear some injuries were detected in subsequent exams. We are praying especially for Barb and Linda, the ones who received the brunt of the blow. Apparently the van was totaled. Thanks for praying.
