The Apostle [Paul] is asking in Philippians 1 which is most worthwhile for him, to live or to die. Often has that question presented itself to us, and perhaps we like the Apostle, have answered that “we are in a strait.” But I fear we may have used the words in a sense far different from Paul's. When we have wished for death, we meant to say, “I know not which alternative I ought most to dread, the afflictions of life, from which death would release me, or the terrors of death, from which life protects me.” In other words, life and death look to us like two evils of which we know not which is the less. As for the Apostle, they look to him like two immense blessings of which he knows not which is the better (Adolphe Monod).

Subject: [AOG] Prayer request for Jen

 

Jen had a mammogram last week and yesterday afternoon we got the call that a lump was found on the mammogram.  We're sure it's nothing, but the tests have to be done just the same and until the tests are complete it is pretty anxiety producing.  I went through this back in 1998 myself with a lump and I know good and well that going through the diagnostics is agonizing until you get the final answer.  We know that God holds this in his hands just as he does everything.  And she is still undergoing the neurological work-up for the problem with her eyes.  Your prayers would be much appreciated.
