Weekly Rundown (4.16.2011)

• Update on Beth:  The "EB Virus" is back.  Mid-week revealed positive tests for EB with symptoms showing in Beth's throat area. Further scans showed the virus had spread to some areas in her abdomen so the doctors quickly began treatment.  We initially thought her tonsils were going to be removed but since the virus had spread to other areas, surgery would not have eliminated the virus ... so no surgery, just treatment with some high-powered medicine.
  
  
  
  • I fly my first "red eye" flight to get back to NYC by Friday morning since (at the time) we thought the tonsil surgery could have been Friday ... no surgery (good news), I got "upgraded" to First Class (good news), and EB levels in Beth's blood work have already started decreasing (great news).
  
  
  
  


• Preaching this series on the Cross has completely rocked me personally.  Understanding the Cross is foundational to who we are as Christ-followers and to Who God is.  I'm praying God's Spirit is moving inside all of us to anchor us in the glorious truths of the Cross!
  
  
  
  • This weekend we looked at 4 words to describe what happened on the Cross and what results can happen because of the Cross: substitue, ransom, justify, & adopted.
