    "Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory. In his name the nations will put their hope."
Matthew 12:18-21

    The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:15-17

          Monday May 5 th ~
     A classic case of Laryngitis has shown up. I can barely talk above a whisper.

     Today I was able to publish the newsletter from the home of my host' John & Connie here in Weldon, Illinois. And took the van to the next little town west to get the front-end lubricated at a Quick Lube which had offered to do it (No Charge).
     After conferring with the main man, it looks like it might be helpful to get some new shocks installed at some point.

          Tuesday May 6 th ~

     Some improvement in the voice today. Speaking slightly above a whisper.

     Joined my host for lunch at the Senior Center where Connie runs the local program.

     Trying not to speak or use the vocal cords anymore than necessary.

          Wednesday May 7 th ~

     More improvement. More rest.

          Thursday May 8 th ~

     Still Improving.

          Friday May 9 th ~

     What a blessing it has been, for John & Connie to give me this time to recuperate with a convenient place to park, rest, shower, do laundry, all the daily chores we tend to take for granted. May God Bless Them!

          Saturday May 10 th ~

     Tested the singing voice today for a short time. Seems like it's just about cleared up.

          Sunday May 11 th ~

     Joined my host for a Mothers Day breakfast at their church, then to a nursing home in a nearby town where John and Connie hold a worship service. As they got started, I went into the Alzheimer's Unit and sang for about fifteen minutes, easing the voice back into operation. Then back to their service where I sang a few more as John & Connie served Communion.

      

And so begins another week.

Guard, Guide And Direct You.
