thoughts...

Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary 
Pure and holy, tried and ture 
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living 
Sanctuary for You 

Lead Me on Lord 
From temptation 
Purify me 
From within 
Fill my heart with 
You Holy Spirit 
Take away all my sin

This was very thought provoking for me today. Am I a sanctuary for the Lord?
Have I been tried and true? Is it "with thanksgiving" that I will be a sanctuary?
Am I really thankful for all that, that entails?

On another topic... this has been a different week here. Jim spent 3 days in
Shiprock, NM helping with a furnace project there. He got home Thursday
night. Friday morning Seth and Jim both got sick with some sort of stomach/flu
bug. (Seth was kind of dealing with it all week on a smaller scale) Then
Sharayah had it on Saturday and Seth seemed to be better and then he got
sick again tonight. We are not sure what it is exactly, but would certainly
appreciate your prayers for health here.

The pleasant surprise here tonight was, that my sister and her husband
showed up here. Bob and Laura Kulp from WI. Just for tonight and part
of a day tomorrow, but it is exciting to have family here.
