My daughter and I were unable to get out to church this morning because Helen broke her arm yesterday and is putting in her time waiting to be evaluated for surgery tomorrow. It was a nasty break and she is in a lot of pain.. She welcomed the distraction of thinking about Joseph, his attitude about Mary's pregnancy, and his probable anger at her presumed unfaithfulness. We finally concluded that, given the information he had without enlightenment, he would lack confidence in the marriage but should see to it that she had care. We understand the anger very well but also feel the pain of unfaithfulness. I am glad that it all became revealed and life went forward as it should. I am glad to see you are taking some time off after all of your increased activity during the Christmas season. May you get some rest and have some good times. Blessings, Anne

Helen will be in my prayers as she goes through whatever medical procedure lies ahead, with you by her side.
