Requiem

Posted on by

Almost two years ago, Jon and I drove to Westerville to go visit a parishioner in the hospital. K was a real spitfire and I have fond memories of her preaching a sermon to her orderly about Bible reading and prayer. Her husband J was a big supporter of Jon and I and I know fully well they have prayed for us since we’ve come to Minnesota.

Well… I got the church newsletter from Jon’s internship site and J’s obituary was in there. I’m a little bummed because he was such a great person but I know he’s up in Heaven living it up and arranging things for when K comes.

RIP J. Say hi to Jesus and God for me.

From My Devotional This Morning

Posted on by

This is from my devotional this morning. It’s a message I needed to hear and I think I’m being called into some confession here…

(And the language is funky because it’s KJV which I prefer for the Psalms because it’s prettier.)

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
–Psalm 32

Passworded Entries

Posted on by

I passworded deleted the last two entries because I don’t really want the world seeing my scratched up chest. For the sake of my parents (who saw the picture in the entry and who are pretty concerned about me), I really think I need some more privacy and also a little more restraint in what I post unpassworded.

For those who are worried about me, the scars are gone except for the one on my right arm and that should heal in a week or so. My IV spot is also a little sore, but they also had to stick it in the top of my hand. I see my doctor tomorrow and I have the names of a couple psychiatrists. We’ll see what happens with that.

Just keep praying, OK? I can use all the prayers I can get right now.

Zombie Jamboree

Have I mentioned how much I HATE Prednisone and how much I wish the medical community would develop something better?!?!?!? I can barely eat, I’m tired, I’m getting hot flashes, and yet I can’t sleep because it’s messing up my nerves. I have dark circles under my eyes and I look like a frickin’ zombie!!!!

The things I endure to get my asthma straightened out!!!!!
