QUESTIONS

P5250494
Yes it was raining this morning but it is time for our walk.  I am thankful for the rain.  It was sad to see on the news the damage down in Cache Creek with the heavy rainfall ending in a terrific mud slide.
Thankfully Craig’s family live in Ashcroft.

I had a ministry and personnel meeting at the church in the morning which was with some dear old friends from Colebrook.  No news as yet about the recovery of our minister. We have a church full of amazing people who come together and support each other and now our new interim minister.  She is full of life and confidence and puts her heart into our worship services.

Had a call from Traudl and Brian with the bad news that her breast has to be removed.  She will have the operation in Cranbrook on June 10.  They appreciate our prayers.  Brian nearly lost his eye with a case of the shingles which is often caused by stress and worry.

They do not know about radiation at this point.

"The desire to make suffering intelligible is one of those dignifying peculiarities of our species..."
We search to find some meaning in pain in suffering rather than in the pursuit of pleasure and personal success.

As a Christian I have the freedom to be angry at God and express my grief while sobbing uncontrollably with unanswered questions.

Oh, sorry to hear Truadle will have to go through that surgery at her age. We are home after our short but wonderful visit seeing everyone in Edmonton. We had perfect weather and it was nice to see them all.
