Day two-hundred-eighty-seven

Big change coming to work. We found out today that Guillermo is moving to be the first shift cutter. Someone from third shift is moving over to be our cutter on second shift. I think things will work better with Guillermo on first; people are happier with the way he does things than with the previous cutter, Albert.

For those who are aware of what's been going on with Joseph Miller, please continue to keep him in your prayers. I don't really know any more than anyone else about his present condition, so I don't want to repeat any information that might be obsolete or inaccurate. Just pray that God's guiding hand would be with Joe, whether He chooses to cause Joe to get better or if he chooses to call Him home to heaven.

This is the first time in my walk with the Lord where I've experienced the prospect of losing a brother I've come to know (a little bit) in death. Of course, I'll eventually face the prospect of my own death. Usually, no more than a couple of days go by where I don't think, "I could die today."

God will call me home at any time, and I admit I sometimes find that possibility daunting. It shouldn't be that way, but I don't have to be afraid. I look at myself and I just see a rotten sinner who has nothing to offer the Lord. The Lord doesn't see me that way, though. He looks at me and sees the righteousness of His Son, Jesus Christ. He sees the new creature in His Son (2 Corinthians 5:17). Would that my mind would dwell there. Pray that it would.
