             A PRESENCE PRESENT!

     My wife will celebrate her Birthday on
Thursday. But, in a sense, today she
celebrates her "Re-birthday!"
      A year ago, on the very eve of her
birthday, she underwent open heart
surgery at the University of Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia.
      It was her second, the first coming quite
a few years ago, and it was considered
"high risk." Of course in my mind any
sort of surgery involving a loved one is
high risk. Sometimes nearly as much for
those waiting as those actually undergoing
the procedure.
      Thank the Lord it all went well and
she's here to celebrate another spin round
the sun! He, through the physicians, gave
her a presence present last year and it
truly is the gift that keeps on giving!
      Next week we go back for her "1,000
mile checkup." I'm hopeful she'll pass
inspection without the need for any other
major "mechanical repairs!"
       We'll celebrate both today and tomorrow
and be thankful there are still some to
celebrate!
        Hope your NEWS, like ours a year ago,
is good!
celebrate.
