Note from Dale Bliss
Dear Bluff Point Family,
Words are not sufficient to express my gratitude for all of the calls, visits, cards and prayers I have received since my accident and broken hip. When I am starting to feel down and sorry for myself all of your concern and care has shown through and became a bright spot in my days.
According to the surgeon, I broke the hip joint and needed a full replacement (the hardest and most painful). This has been completed and now I have to wait a total of six weeks before more than partial weight can be applied. I am waiting and counting the days until my sentence is reduced.
I haven’t been able to get a lot accomplished until now. The pain killers make it hard to focus or even read. I hope the next three weeks will be better.
Thanks again for the encouraging calls, cards and prayers. It would have been very long and dreary without them.

A Blessing for Those Who Wait
by the Rev. Beth A. Richardson
For those who wait
In despair,
In grief,
In sorrow.
You are comfort.
You are strength.
For those who wait
In the paths of storms,
In detention camps,
In hospice rooms.
You are comfort.
You are strength.
For those who wait
In tender hope,
In tear-streaked sadness,
In fearful anticipation.
You are comfort.
You are strength.
Bless, Loving Healer,
All those who wait.
You are comfort.
You are strength.
-Amen
