SIXTY YEARS, AND THEY REMEMBER

A friend’s college-age daughter is on a whirlwind trip through England “studying” the theatre – tough duty! – but her favorite thing so far was a tour of an old church in London.

They had on display the names of all the Americans who were killed defending England in World War II. There was also a moving letter from Winston Churchill, wartime prime minister and a gutsy friend of the Yanks if ever there was one.

These memorials have been up for nearly 60 years. It was pretty cool for this young American to see the caliber of their gratitude and friendship.

Hail, Brittannia! You’re welcome, dudes.

Praise report: Thank You, Father, that my friend’s brother Patrick is recovering amazingly well from his serious heart attack. Things were scary when his body practically slid off the sled on which they were rushing him to the ambulance. The blockage was huge. But he’s full of vim and vigor, and we are grateful, O Great Physician. He’s a good servant of Yours, and You blessed him. (Hebrews 6:10)

Prayer requests: We pray for JoAnn, whose mother passed away although JoAnn had lots of time to be with her through her last days, which was wonderful . . . for my Uncle Dave, hospitalized with emphysema complications . . . for friend Penny, who has an MRI this afternoon . . . for an older friend GiGi who had a cancerous bladder removed . . . and for another older friend Bob who is battling a weird infection that entered his bare feet on the Galapagos Islands. Now, THAT’S one you don’t hear every day. But Lord Jesus, You HAVE heard it all. We pray in Your Name for Your mercy and healing power, and that You will hear our cries for these dear ones. (John 14:13,14)
