My dad is in the hospital. To make a long story short, his heart stopped for a time while under observation for some chest pains he had yesterday morning. He is stable now, and in pretty good spirits.

He had an angiogram this morning that revealed no major blockage in the arteries, which is good news. He will probably receive a pacemaker, and, if the problem is only electrical, he will likely be fine.

Please continue to keep him and our family in your prayers. During this time, I'm reminded of 2 Corinthians 12:9-10:

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Paul is describing God's answer to his plea for God to remove the "thorn" from his flesh. God did not remove the thorn, whatever it was, but rather allowed it to be used to show Christ's power perfected. When we a presented with overwhelming circumstances, that's when can let God's light shine in and through our lives.
