The beast hits closer

I have decided to start blogging again as the beast has hit even closer to home. Our oldest son had sinus surgery yesterday and a mass was biopsied as cancer. We will not know what kind until later this week, hopefully. The doctors are right on top of the situation. There have been so many things the Lord has done that we are thankful for. We are devastated but know that God is in control. I keep remembering the words of Elliot Patterson Williams, "Don't tell God how big your storm is, tell your storm how big your God is". If you have never heard the sound track from "The Preacher's Wife" with Whitney Houston, you need to. One of my favorite songs on it that is going through my head right now is, "I Go to the Rock". It was sung by Whitney and here are the lyrics.

I Go to the Rock

Where do I go?


When there's nobody else to turn to

Who do I talk to?

When nobody wants to listen

Who do I lean on? Oh

When there is no foundation stable

I go to the rock

I know he is able, I go to the rock



[Chorus:]

I go to the rock of my salvation

I go to the stone that the builders rejected

I run to the mountain

And the mountain he stands by me

When the Earth all around me is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand

When I need a shelter I go to the rock



Where do I go, where do I go

When the storms of life are threatening

Who do I turn to when those winds of sorrow blow

And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation

Go to the rock, I know he is able

I go to the rock



[Repeat Chorus (2X)]



I go the rock when I need a friend

I can go to the rock

I go to the rock when I need a shelter

You can go to the rock

You can go to the rock

You can go to the rock

I can go

I go to the rock

I can go to the rock

I can go to the rock

I can go, I can go to the rock

I can go when I need some shelter

When I need a friend

I can go



And when the Earth around me is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand I can stand

When I need a friend

I go to the rock

I can go to the rock

Hey hey hey oh yeah
