Round 2 - The Last Day! (Good Friday)

I am sitting here at the parish preparing for the Good Friday service. Before I got here, I helped pack up Kristen, Kathy, Isaac and Claire in the van and sent them on their way back to our house.

Claire's home!

Claire and I were snuggling on the couch this morning when her doctor came in and told that her x-day looked gorgeous and what time was the Good Friday service so that they could get us out of the hospital in time. Claire got all dressed up in a dress and her new snazzy shoes (see yesterday's pictures) and skipped around the floor as we packed up all our things. She goes home with a much higher dosage of the diahretics, but it seems that they are working very well and releasing all the excess fluid. Praise God!

This will be a joyous Easter, to be sure. And what a Good Friday. We have known the power of the Lord's mighty death in our lives, the saving power of his sacrifice. Thank you for your prayers.


Behold the wood of the cross, whereon was hung the world's Salvation.
O come let us worship.

  3. Welcome home, Claire! Your daddy did a terrific job with his solo today, and now I know the special inspiration in his heart.

    What a joyous day! God is so good.
