Red One

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 18 August 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

For Jen, who is a fan of hibiscus flowers and has taken and posted many beautiful shots of all kinds of different hibiscus blooms. My personal favorite hibiscus color is the old classic red, like this one blooming in my garden last week.

Bella Update: 11/21/08 Friday. All in all a very pleasant morning. On our walk, Bella caught the scent (and we sighted briefly) of what looked like it was either an otter or a raccoon moving toward a lakeshore in somebody's back yard. She was excited! God has lots of surprise blessings.

Bella's miracle (the one we continue praying for) is a day by day process. Which means Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint; it will take a while for completion. But we are encouraged by answered prayer; her condition is stable, a lesion in her heart has healed. There is more healing that is needed. And that's why Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are special blessings.
