One More Quote from Chapter 3

Why fight? Why fight for joy?

The fight for joy is “a way of saying that we are weak and desperately need the mercy of God” (39).

I am weak but He is strong. An old timey gospel song...Just a Closer Walk with Thee. The King James Version so dominated 1930-1970 American Christianity so that even the songwriters used the "thees" and "thous." How art thou, by the way? Love, Poppy

Tender Mercy. Great movie. Ah, the mercies of God. Are they not new every morning? Lam 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Great is Thy Faithfulness, Oh God, my Father. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand has provided...Ps 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

By God's grace, our son, John Eliot Power, Jr., (the 11th John Eliot in this line since Puritan Missionary John Eliot [1604-1690]) was born at 7:34 AM on January 24th. Liz is doing so well, and she did great throughout the whole labor and delivery. Eliot weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz., and he was 21 inches long. Below are a few pictures that I hope to add to in days to come. Wow. We give thanks to the Lord for this precious baby boy. "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (Psalm 86:15).
