Hi to all,

You may be wondering what's happened about the wedding at which I told you I 
had been asked to play, so here's an update and another thanks for such 
loving advice given when I mentioned this a couple of weeks back.

With some reluctance and sadness, I finally pulled out last week.  There 
were many stressful points associated with the wedding which outweighed 
everything else and, at this present time, I knew I shouldn't handle that 
kind of stress.  The problems mounted and included my inability to practise 
due to arthritis in my right hand, some "cold turkey" symptoms as I had to 
come off various meds and associated depression, together with a continuing 
lack of sleep and an inability therefore to cope with going out alone to 
choose something to wear.

I would be glad of your prayers for my health situation.  The position with 
my continued lack of sleep becomes once again very much more critical, since 
no medication has solved the problem but has merely produced its own side 
effects, including a lot of depression and some very poor concentration and, 
indeed, failure to recall many day to day matters and words I have needed to 
use.  My Christian GP is at a loss to help me further.

To end this, here's a couple of notes for real praise.  First, Mike and Roxy 
were involved in an incident involving the bus on which they travelled this 
morning.  They were both shaken and Roxy was quite physically sick on 
arrival at work;  but they now seem fine.  (As Mike left the house today I 
found myself praying specifically about their safety . . ..  I wonder why! 
<SMILE>)

Finally, it's our 13th wedding anniversary today and I must get off this 
computer now to cook his favourite food.  (Oh, did I hear him at the door 
already???  Yes, yes, yes I did!)

Love to all:
