A rotten, no-good, very-bad, horrible day

Last night was a bad night and today is not looking any better.
– Samuel got taken to the hospital early this morning with what might be an asthmatic attack – They are diagnosing him now.
– I was up all night fighting a flu – periods of shivering cold, and then hot smelly sweating. I still feel horrible and sick.
– Our van got tagged by gangs last night with black paint on the back door.
– Bank is not accepting wire deposit.
– Might have a computer virus that is sending out emails to people.

Well, that should be enough to cheer you all up. Hope your day goes better. As for me, I will side up with Job who said, in the Bible’s oldest book,
“Though He slay me (Hebrew is ‘fillet me’, like a fish), yet will I trust in Him”.

update: samuel is back with all kinds of blowers and squeezy shwoshy plastic toys to help him breathe and sleep. Good news is that it may just be a temporary viral chest infection. thanks for your prayers . . .

    Praying for you right now, and will continue to throughout this day.

    Just prayed for you and for Samuel. Hope the Lord shows his favor to you and your family.
    While we are sharing, i just got a call from the garage with a “wonderful” news that i will have to pay another €200 for repairs (after paying somewhat like another €400 equivalent). So, Im siding with you on the pile of ashes. Nevertheless, I have seen His goodness and know that he stays the same…
