Day 53 - February 22nd - My birthday - I guess I should say what I am thankful for about myself, since I have been doing the family's on their birthdays. Hmmm - well, I'm thankful I'm here, I still have my faculties (well, I DO), I'm relatively healthy and my hope is still in the Lord.
I got a video of an interview they did on 100 Huntley Street from Glenda Lees. Her nephew, Lyndon Rush, is one of the men's bobsleigh team that is competing at the Olympics. We knew the Rushes when we lived in Humboldt and Lyndon is around Jen's age (I think). Anyway, he has a great testimony and they interviewed him about being at the Olympics, etc. This verse I put at the top was the one he quoted. He said it is the one verse that has always helped him in this sport. Then, when the bobsledder was killed the first day, he said it meant even more. He could worry and fret each time he gets into the sled, but his hope is in the Lord and he knows that whatever happens, he will ok. He said he prays before each run and the men have come to depend on his praying and remind him if he is busy and almost forgets. He said, "There are no atheists in foxholes, or in a bobsled". I was very impressed with his testimony. So, I, too, am thankful that my hope is in the Lord and I can cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me.
Dale and I had a nice supper out tonight at the Keg. The steak wasn't nearly as juicy and "mmm" as it usually is, but we had a good time. I put a candle on my piece of double caramel cheesecake and was very happy. Thanks for all your well-wishes.

WHAT?!?!?! Lyndon Rush is on the bobsled team?!?! You didn't tell me that!!!! That is way too crazy. Can you send me the link to that interview, I would love to watch it. And he's a year younger than me.
Now that I think about it, they were the Canadians that flipped over, right? I even saw him give a brief interview but totally didn't recognize him!
I'm sorry, I thought I had told you. But I guess I found out before the retreat and you weren't there on Sunday. We have to talk more often!! I'll see if I can send the link to you.
