Last evening from our master bedroom bay windows we enjoyed the Monte Foundation Fireworks performance that occurred at Sea Cliff State Park Beach.  It’s quite a performance as they launch the display from atop the Palo Alto, a cement ship run aground at the beach more than 60 years ago.

This afternoon our master bedroom was converted into a two hour “treatment center” as Shirley Churchill tenderly administered several physiology techniques intended to rouse Irene’s nervous system and kidneys. Jocelyn later assisted Shirley with some of the methods and practice.

The human body is an amazing essence of God’s created order.  Our human understanding pales in comparison to the infinite, boundless and all knowing God.

King David proclaims….

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Psalm 149:14

Irene scuffled with nausea today but once again I am inspired with awe by the way in which she patiently endures the challenge.  Dr. Damon was abundantly clear on our last visit to UCSF….that the nausea is a direct cause from the remaining amyloid in her bloodstream. Knowing the culprit gives us laser beam focus as we pray….

Thank you for being among the throng who prayerfully intercede for Irene’s comfort and relief. It is that prayer that encourages and inspires us.  Below is a photo of the prayerful Churchill clan that dropped Shirley off at our home and played in Capitola Village until she was finished with Irene….If you’re wondering where Ken is, he’s off camera standing next to me!

The annual fireworks exhibition at Sea Cliff Beach is one that we have enjoyed from our deck for the last several years.  We hope that when this time rolls around next year we’ll be celebrating with Irene wholly restored….with no lingering nausea or amyloid.  They’re both unwelcome intruders and simply not invited to the festivity.

Caminando con Fé
