Ridgell's Originals

First let me give you a quick update on Julie and her baby. So far, the tear in her placenta has not increased. That is the good news. At this point, it is not yet healing so that is the current prayer. She gets another ultrasound this morning then meets with her doctor and the neonatal specialist. Julie is at least hoping to be able to do bed rest at home and not in the hospital.

I was so focused on what was going on with us that I almost missed what is going on in our world. Even as Tx., La., and Ms. dig out from under the hurricanes, disasters struck all over this world. A horrific earthquake in Pakistan, mud slides in Guatamala, and floods on the eastern coast of the U.S. I cannot claim to know the mind of God, but I wonder if God is trying to get the attention of this world.

I do not know how all of this plays out, but I do believe the work of God will be seen in this time.

I want to us all to remember that God has us here for a purpose. So I will continue to pray, I will visit, I will teach, and I will help in personal ways with those I come in contact with.

We are the light of the world... I promise to keep mine shining.

Thanks to those of you who keep your light shining in my life.
