Last night was one of the best nights so far with using my BIPAP machine. Still looking for that night when I sleep straight through without waking up, but I did not have as much pain or dryness in my throat as in the past. Thank you for all your continued prayers. I hope again this has not seemed like a trivial prayer issue because so many people do need these machines regularly and probably have all experiences likewise to mine. For me, I believe God is concerned about every aspect of my life. I hope the rest of you realize and agree with me! As I preached in the nursing home yesterday, God considers each one of us a valuable treasure, even in our sinful, worthless, filthy rags state! Were that not true, He would not have given all He had in His Son to purchase us!
