Today Jesse sent an email to several of his friends. I emailed him to ask if I could post part of it on here. Other than that, I haven't heard anything since Monday about how he's doing. He wrote that he's grateful for all the people that have visited him and talked with him, and he's looking forward to seeing everyone again when he comes back to California.

I found a short poem by John Piper about the grace of God:

Not grace to bar what is not bliss,
Nor flight from all distress, but this:
The grace that orders our trouble and pain,
And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.

Thank God for the grace he has shown to Jesse. God is so good!

Finally, I have pictures from last weekend. Here goes:

I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done (from Psalm 118, NIV).
