Some Perspective

Susan is doing much better this morning. She was very weak when she first got up but after her beloved coffee and French Vanilla creamer, and a little backrub she's perked up. She is sitting at the window watching the birds and waiting for her bacon, eggs and grits for breakfast. She says this makes her sound like a pig, but I'll actually end up eating most of it. She keeps talking about doing laundry later today. Fat chance.

Berny Schulman, a longtime, close friend of ours from Orlando called this morning to ask how we are doing. People are praying for us all over the country. We are truly blessed!

My friend and co-worker Vernon Tanner lost his mother this weekend. It was a difficult passing for her and Vernon's family. Our situation pales compared to the grief Vernon and Karen are experiencing, so we are focusing our prayers and thoughts on them this morning.

Susan says she would love to use the free time she has to pray for others. If you have prayer requests, you can post them here or send them to susan4jack@gmail.com.

  1. Hmmmmmm. "The Mysterious Illness of Susan A. Bush".............sounds like it could be a Michael Crighton blockbuster best-seller. The blog may be a rough draft, Jack!!!!!! Susan, love ya girl.

  2. I am always amazed at the way you both care for others. Susan, you praying for others when you are feeling so physically and mentally drained? It doesn't surprise me; it reminds me of how self-focused I can be and encourages me to stop, turn, and look to Christ. You are an example of true humility, and such an inspiration to me.

  3. Jack and Susan, we are continuing in prayer asking God on your behalf for an answer. Selfishly too, because we need you back! Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving , present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

  4. Hi today. Been thinking of you all morning as you navigate thru the testing today. It would be such a blessing to have some answers by the end of the day. My mom asked me if she could put you on her church's prayer chain, and I said, "You bet. The more prayers the better." So a big Catholic church in North Dakota is praying too!!! Anxious to hear any news later today or tomorrow. Bear hugs, Mare
