Deuteronomy 10:21
Good News Translation
21 Praise him—he is your God, and you have seen with your own eyes
the great and astounding things that he has done for you.
Great and marvelous are Your works, O God.
Sylvia and I drove over 8,700 miles or 14,000 kilometers through
nineteen states during the months of June, July and August this year—without
mishap. Closer to home, Sylvia was driving when each of our preceding two
vehicles were totaled, yet she walked away from each accident. Last year she fell
approximately 30 feet down a nearly vertical rock face and survived well enough
so that, although she broke six or seven bones and gashed her head wide open,
she is now living principally without pain.
Cancer struck me some 16 years ago. I am still fighting it
and keeping it at bay. The major reason for our trip this summer was to gain a
new weapon in that battle. Since the cancer started, I have overcome West Nile
Virus and have had COVID-19 and survived it well through the intervention of
God and my being vaccinated. (I believe that God has given humans the wisdom
and skill to develop the vast medical knowledge and skill we see in modern
medicine today. He did this for our, your, and my comfort. Aren’t we denying
Him if we choose to not avail ourselves of these God-given benefits?) I am also
seeing, even though painful blindness struck me a year ago.
Indeed, I praise You, O God, for the great and astounding
things You have done for me!
