As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, John has been hospitalized since Sunday night with intestinal issues, and I have been occupied with writing emails to keep people informed of his condition and my practical needs. All that activity, combined with a lack of sleep, kept me from blogging much.  It also diminished my desire to read other blogs.

Praise the Lord, John is being discharged from the hospital today. Yes, I’m thrilled! As much as I’ve enjoyed the company of the women who helped me in John’s absence, it will be absolutely wonderful to have my husband home! Did I mention that I’m thrilled to pieces?

I’m thrilled to pieces!

Since my life has been so chaotic, however, I’ve decided to take this week off from Saturday Sampler. I know that’s a favorite feature to many of my readers, but I’m just not up for it. I’ll resume it next week.

Ladies, I expect to have a Colossians Bible Study post next Monday, so you might want to prepare by reading Colossians once or twice between now and then. I think we’ll learn a lot from this epistle.

Hey — did I mention that John’s coming home?
