Tokyo's thermostat is stuck on the mid-90s...day after day, week after  
week with high humidity. In over 100 years Tokyo has not had so many  
days of relentless heat. We haven't had our usual typhoons. But we  
have air conditioners in both our living room and our bedroom  
and....TA DA...Russ changed a lightbulb without any assistance. What's  
a little (okay, a lot of) heat when Russ can add a new post-stroke  
accomplishment to his list. God is sustaining us and we're grateful.

If you're interested in reading about some more God happenings in the  
past two weeks, feel free to check out my blog which I finally updated.

Blessings,
Flossie

God is giving us an opportunity. Three different therapists come to  
our home each week. Wednesday all three plan to come together with a  
reporter from their organization to interview us for an article for  
their monthly newsletter. Russ' therapists thought he could be an  
encouragement to the other clients. We really have no idea what to  
say, but are trusting God to give us just the right words to say when  
the time comes.

We have a placard in the entryway of our home that has the Japanese  
characters for faith, hope, and love written on it. It is because of  
Jesus Christ that these three traits abide deep in our hearts. Please  
pray that God will use the interview for His glory and that the woman  
who writes the article will be led by the Holy Spirit.

Rejoicing,
Flossie
