Dear Friends,
As I write in early September, the temperature is about 100 degrees outside. When meeting people outdoors recently, we greet each other with, "Hi...hot, isn't it?" I frequently find myself complaining about the heat wave, not to mention other circumstances of my life that I'd like to change. Yet when I recall that it was exactly a year ago that I was flat on my back in the hospital after an operation, it puts in the proper perspective the many blessings I do enjoy today. A year later, I can even be grateful for my hospitalization, through which I discovered anew how I am loved by many people, not to mention by God who created us all. Heat waves come and go, but God and his mercies never fail!
Among the blessings I'm enjoying this month are opportunities to perform with wonderful musicians including Minaswing, Naomi and Goro, and Miyuki Onitake. Please come hear us, and say hello!
Yours, Steve
We are full of joy because we expect to share in God's glory. And that's not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on. The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope. And hope will never let us down. (Romans 5:2-5)
