Thanks to everyone who has continued to pray for and provide for Joanne. It is much appreciated. She started physical and occupational therapy this week, but it’s very slow until she can start bearing weight on that leg. So, we’re still taking things a week at a time.

This Sunday we come to the second of many scenes where something Jesus does is challenged. Once again, we find ourselves in a “letter of the law” versus “the spirit of the law” contest. And once again, Jesus responds in a surprising and unexpected way (He keeps doing that!).

We’re continuing our series on the life of Christ, Walking with Jesus: A Year with the Savior.  We’re in Luke again this week (Luke 6:1-11) with a story of Jesus intentionally healing a man on the Sabbath. And, as we should come to expect, there’s a lesson here that goes well beyond healing another person. And in order to fully understand these lessons, we need the eyes of faith (“spiritual discernment” – 1 Cor. 2:10-16). Pray for that to happen this Sunday. See you then, Dr. Dave
