As noted previously, Friday was our 34th anniversary. Sandy and I went out to eat to celebrate and upon returning home I began to experience some bad things—shortness of breath, chest pain, etc. Having once been an EMT I knew what was happening. I took the aspirin right away, ambulance arrived quickly, and within 30 minutes I was in the heart cath lab having two stints put in my heart. Dr says there was minimal damage to the heart but I will have to have another stint put in later.

While all this means I will be out of pocket for a week or two never fear. The Institute will go on without missing a beat. Emily will be spending more time in the office answer calls and e-mail and I hope to be back at my desk in about a week.

Thank you for your prayer. God is good and uses heart attacks to work His good plan. Pray that I will not be too obtuse to learn the things He desires to teach me in the coming days.
