So I’m still keeping busy. But things are starting to ease up now. The church newspaper is done and so is my health insurance so I’m doing a some of cleaning around the house. Also seeing the doctors weekly to work on my legs.

One third will survive and also God will try them to purify them. After the testing they will be the people of God.

Gold is indeed precious. But according to Peter this is worth more than purified Gold?
