Finished reading a solid parenting book called Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp. Practical and an easy read. Recommended.
100th Birthday Speech
This video is of the mother of John Ruthven, one of my seminary professors. Very moving!
Beth (Bessie) Ruthven was born in Manitoba, Canada on 1 December, 1908. She was 3 when the Titanic sank, 9 when the Armistice was signed for World War I; she was almost 12 when the first commercial radio station aired; she lived through the Great Depression as an adult; was 36 at the end of WW II; 39 when Israel declared itself a nation (a very moving event for her); and 60 when the first man walked on the moon!
In her lifetime she planted a number of churches by herself, then with her husband, John Marshall Ruthven (d.1994). Her last church was the Lincoln Christian Fellowship, started in 1956. Beth moved to Canada to retire in 1986. She now lives in Shepherd Lodge, Toronto.
Walt Mueller in Serious Bike Accident …
Dear friends of CPYU,
CPYU’s founder and President, Walt Mueller was in a serious bike accident on Friday, July 30th. Please pray for him and his family. He suffered 8 broken ribs, a punctured lung, as well as a fractured collarbone and many bumps, bruises and abrasions. His injuries are not considered life-threatening, but he remains in the hospital and he is experiencing substantial pain. God’s healing power has been demonstrated over the last couple of days as Walt has made some improvements. However, a long road to full recovery remains. Walt and his family would really appreciate all of your prayers.
Please feel free to visit Walt’s Facebook page or CPYU’s Twitter account for periodic updates and more information.
Trusting in God,
The Staff of CPYU
