Thank You Lela and Andy.  I enjoyed what you both shared on this occasion. I 
was feeling a bit down and reading your posts made my day.  

I would like to add to it something from a book that I sent to Pete (and 
received confirmation) last November:

IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN BUT POSSIBLE WITH GOD

"God always tells us to do what we cannot do and to live a life which we 
cannot live.  

Every morning, I wake up to thank and praise God because it is another day 
for Him to perform His miracles.  In the evening I thank and praise Him  for 
the miracles He has performed that day.

Today God is enabling me to endure what I otherwise could not endure.

He is enabling me to love what I otherwise could not love.

He is enabling me to do what I otherwise could not do and to act the way 
which I otherwise could not act.  

Thank and praise Him.  Every day we experience the words: 'The things that 
are impossible with men are possible with God'"  Watchman Nee.  1935


Sail on, Pete!
