As I was praying asking God for a miracle, Jesus placed on my heart the story of Lazarus. As Jesus entered the city of Bethany, he was met by Martha, Mary and friends of the family. As with any loss of a loved one there was an out pouring of grief and sorrow, Jesus was deeply moved in his spirit and he wept. After meeting with the Lung doctor, we decided to try one last round of steroid treatments. In less than a week, my wife was moved out of the Intensive Care. Two weeks later on Christmas Day, she was released from the hospital. The story of Lazarus is one of many examples in the bible of the unconditional love Jesus has for each one of us. Whatever the circumstances we encounter, Jesus shares in our pain, in our sorrow and our heartbreak.
In Nov of 2020, my wife was admitted to the hospital with the COVID 19 virus and within a week was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit were her condition only worsened to the point the ventilator became the only option.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
