    Grieving the sudden loss of our dear brother, Dr. Voddie Baucham (age 56), due to an emergency medical incident. His gain is our loss. Please pray for his wife, Bridget, and their 9 children. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

    Mary here, with an update. Joel is still tired but gaining strength. I feel all better. The nurse has told us we are not contagious anymore. We thank God, and thank you for all the love and care we have received. Isaiah 41:10.

    This is Mary, hijacking my husband's Twitter. People ask me sometimes how my husband gets so much work done, and part of the answer is that he takes little naps. Here he was on Sunday, enjoying holding our little granddaughter. It was so relaxing that they both fell asleep.

    This is Mary hijacking my husband's facebook page for a day. Seventy-one years ago today, a very special person came into this world. He was named Joel Beeke, and God had a plan for him. God saved, called, and equipped him to preach, teach, and write--to tell sinners about the
