We can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. It's not easy sometimes. Neither would sitting in a rocking chair be easy for us, thinking about our ailments and worrying about the financial future.

A family near Bremen wrote and told us how they enjoyed having early morn ing family devotions around their radio. Still others from East Germany risked being imprisoned by Communist authorities to write us, requesting a copy of the broadcast! (It is against the law in East Germany to listen to
