| so...my mom called me today to tell me that our english springer
spaniel - ralphie, recently underwent surgery to remove a tumor on his
spleen. supposedly, they were able to remove all of it (size of a steak
in a freezer size ziploc bag). he's still recovering at the vet and
improving day by day, but if you guys could pray for him (the dog that
everyone claims that we don't have), that would be great.

| "He could not see an aim, for he now had faith - not faith in any kind
of rule, or words, or ideas, but faith in an ever-living, ever-manifest
God. Formerly he had sought Him in aims he set himself. That search for
an aim had been simply a search for God, and suddenly in his captivity
he had learned not by words or reasoning but by direct feeling what his
nurse had told him long ago: that God is here and everywhere....He had
equipped himself with a mental telescope and looked into remote space,
where petty worldliness hiding itself in misty distance had seemed to
him great and infinite merely because it was not clearly seen....That
dreadful question, "What for?" which had formely destroyed all his
mental edifices, no longer existed for him. To that question, "What
for?" a simple answer was now already ready in his soul: "Because there
is a God, that God without whose will not one hair falls from a man's
head." (977)
taking two Russian literature classes this past quarter has been a real
treat, especially reading one of the greatest books of all time. i
would highly recommend it!
