Vantage Pointe Today
I love being a part of Vantage Pointe, a Wesleyan Church, serving the people in the Glens Falls region in New York State. Today's event was fantastic!

How's Mom?
It's been a week since Nan entered hospital again after being overcome by dementia. We cared for her as long as we could but her disease's progress had taken her beyond our ability to meet her daily needs. But we do love her!
Today's visit found her alert but not oriented. She asked, "How's Mom?" doing and where her mother was today. I replied, "She's in her best home (heaven!) and doing very well." That sufficed, it seems.
Nan's lived a long, full life. Her days are without care or concern because the meds work so well. Pray for us as we help her find her new home. And pray God's will be done in her life, too.

Irrelevance

This Says It for Me
Knowing You
All I once held dear built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this
(Chorus:)
Knowing you, Jesus knowing you
There is no greater thing
You're my all you're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you ,lord
Now my heart's desire is to know you more
To be found in you, and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
(Chorus)
Oh to know the power of your risen life
And to know you in your suffering
To become like you in your death my Lord
So with You to live
And never die
(Chorus)

Sad
It's always a sad day when you spend an afternoon talking to your grandmother only to learn that she thinks you're someone else altogether. Old age!
