Today was a good day because my wife and I had a chance to visit three house-bound church members. One woman is totally blind, and very frail. She'll be 95 in May. The second woman is near 90 and crippled with arthritis, and her son who lives downstairs on the first floor is still having trouble getting used to the artificial leg he has when they had to remove one leg above the knee because of diabetes. The third woman has been be-bound for several years with M.S. and con longer use her arms. All three of them were very upbeat, and thankful that we still remember them and come to see them.

This morning, I sang with the Men's Chorus in our home church, and this afternoon, I sang with a second Men's Chorus I am a member of, and then switched to my "home-church" Men's chorus to sing as we were guests. What a great time we all had! My wife Ruth wanted to meet the many who sang as the lead singer of the Ink Spots for 20 years, and he seemed pleased that she wanted to take a picture of him.

The sermon in the afternoon was fittingly about Job, and thankfulness.

Today was one of the most joyful days I've had in months.
