When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Tragedy

I just got a phone call from my father saying that he might have had a heart attack or stroke or something like that... I don't know what is going on exactly and he won't call anyone for help. He's had lots of health problems and needs help from those around him but won't take it. I am very scared... I don't know what to do from here in Cedar other than to pray and hope that everything will be alright. Earlier this week, Brent Christensen, or Skye's father passed away from a stroke. That hit me very hard because I respected and loved that man quite a bit as I came to find out. I just plead that all of you will keep my dad in your prayers, along with the Christensen family. I think the neighborhood has seen too much sadness recently and doesn't need to have another death.
