A WORD FROM BROTHER JOE
Hey Summit Family,
Greetings In The Name Of Christ, my dear brothers and sisters! First, I must thank you for your prayers!! They have carried me through. On my 10th day in the hospital, this morning I sat and listened to worship and preaching from Shadow Mountain Community Church, with Charles Billingsly leading worship and David Jeremiah sharing The Word from his new series of sermons entitled “The God You May Not Know”. Today’s topic was “KNOWING A GOOD GOD” and it truly resonated with my heart. My many doctors, therapists, and nurses who came to visit my room expressed concern that I was “in pain”, due to the tears rolling down my cheeks, but they were, rather tears of overwhelming joy at HOW GOOD our Heavenly Father really is! And, He’s not just GOOD when we’re on the mountaintop, or when everything is going our way! He’s GOOD when we’re in the valley of depression, when we’re discouraged, even when we’ve lost our way! Have you ever thought about it: the same love, the same beauty, the same provision is provided to the “unjust”, and well as the “just”! He gives rain both to the good, and to the evil among us! Our God is no respecter of persons; He doesn’t play favorites! HE “IS” A “GOOD” GOD! I see His goodness all around me and I am so thankful! YOU are among those for whom I am most thankful! You pray for me, you support me, you love me in spite of my inadequacies. I am getting stronger. I am recovering. I serve a GOOD GOD, and GOOD PEOPLE. I’m much better!
I will probably leave the Kansas Medical Center within a few days and go to a rehab center for at least a week; maybe longer. Don’t think I’m going to overdo it, and come back too soon. I have a wife and daughter who will prevent that, I can assure you!
I love you, I miss you, and I appreciate all your messages of concern and encouragement. Please continue to pray for me. And, pray for John as he provides excellent leadership and preaching! He’s “A JEWELL” as you’re quickly finding out!
Bro. Joe
