\nand a red-eye home, but I am feeling healthy and happy. The trip was wonderful,
\nwent to Portland to watch Devon compete in Dew Tour. After that Vern joined us
\nfor a trip to Grants Pass for a nice day just enjoying everyone\u2019s company.
\nFinally flew down to Southern California for a visit with my parents. My father
\nis doing surprisingly well considering he had just finished the 4th<\/sup>
\nround of chemo. Mom has some issues with her back that need attention.<\/p>\n
\nwill say\u00a0together,<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAll my fountains\u00a0of joy<\/i>\u00a0are in You.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nof my favorite Chris Tomlin songs is named that. \u00a0What does \u201call my fountains\u201d actually mean?
\nThink about it how many of us think about our joy springing up like a fountain?
\nOur joy in the Lord should be uncontainable like a natural spring or fountain.
\nI think of Old Faithful, the geyser in Yellowstone park that bursts a plume of
\nwater every 91 minutes. Think of your joy in God that way and not a dribbling
\ndrinking fountain from school.<\/p>\n
\ndie alone<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0left for dead<\/i>, as good as the\u00a0unknowable
\nsea of<\/i>\u00a0souls lying under our feet,<\/p>\n
\ngoing to complain or be joyful? One must only look at Paul who was beaten and
\njailed, yet still looked at the love God has for all of us. Life was never
\npromised to be a \u201crose garden,\u201d as the song reiterates (\u201cI beg your pardon; I
\nnever promised you a rose garden\u201d). God says we will have troubles and strife;
\nwe need to keep our faith in him. Our faithful enduring is a hall mark of our
\nfaith, we need peace in the torment. We need to learn how to spring joy from
\nall our fountains.<\/p>\n
\nwill never leave him;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0through My name, strength and power will be his.<\/p>\n
\nin times of pain and struggle. Again as I write this I am listening to \u201cOne
\nThing Remains\u201d by Jeremy Riddle which says \u201cYour love never fails, never gives
\nup, never runs out on me.\u201d Yes even in times we think God is distant, if we
\nopen our minds we can see his love and influence. We just need to remember God
\nis in everything and often the pain we experience is due to man\u2019s freewill, ours
\nor someone else\u2019s. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
