Excellent news, Arthur! That You, Lord for the good report! Amen, praise the Lord! TR Thank you for all your prayers. God has heard every one as He is ever faithful. Theresa is now on an epilepsy drug called Keppra. She finds it really harsh and doesn't know if she can stand it much longer. If anyone has any advice on how to treat Epilepsy without using a drug with such harsh side effects, it would be sincerely appreciated. Any nutritional or lifestyle tips would also be appreciated. ---------- Anyway, Theresa told me a wonderful story tonight that I'd like to share. It was an amazing story that I'll attempt to do justice to. Theresa and her son went to a park and happened to meet a nurse pushing around an old woman (Theresa estimated the woman to be about 100 years old) in a wheelchair. The nurse and the old woman wanted to talk to her son and he mentioned God in the conversation. That prompted the nurse to ask if he and Theresa were Christians. Theresa replied that they were and the nurse asked which church they went to. So, Theresa said that they had just moved to Calgary but that they had found a church called Fairview Baptist Church. The nurse was not impressed and said the pastor was wrong in defying the government and staying open during the "pandemic." The nurse said we need to submit to the government in accordance with Romans 13, etc. Article on Fairview Baptist Church here: Theresa replied that we are to obey the government in regards to how we are governed but not in how we are to worship God. She quoted a number of Bible passages including that it is better to obey God than man. The nurse said she disagreed and said she used to be a member of that church but had quit over the church defying the government mandate. It was then that the old woman spoke up. She reminded the nurse, "You should remember that I am German." She then told the story of how the Nazi government demanded that her church hand over any Jewish people that they were hiding. They refused and many members of the church were murdered. She even lost both of her parents, as a result. So she asked the nurse, "Should we have obeyed the government and handed over the Jewish people to a certain death?" The nurse was left speechless for a minute and then declared in a huff that it was time to go. As they were leaving, the old woman just smiled to Theresa and her son and said, "I'll see you in heaven." :rose: What a glorious testimony! Indeed, the hearts of men are being sifted! And the Lord knows his sheep and the sheep know His voice! TR I love it! Great report, Arthur!
