“Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”
(this word means Sent).
So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him
begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
~John 9:7–8 (NIV)~
It looks like we are going to have another beautiful day. I’m planning to celebrate with my last day of physical therapy for my broken arm which is healing nicely. I will have a little more therapy to do at home to have the return of the full range of movement. I thank God for this beautiful day and the great improvement in my arm!
