THE BIG THREE

Most of my life had been spent in a church that had nothing to offer but rules and regulations.  About 15 or so years ago I finally "GOT IT."  Being a Christian is about a relationship with God; not what I can memorize "NOT" to do, or what "TO" do.  I did not know then what was ahead for me and my life.

A lot of things have changed in those years.  The "BIG THREE" for me was and is - "Bible Study, Prayer, and Tithing."  I am ashamed to admit that lately I have been so wrapped up in my own "Scenarios" and dramas of every day life, that I've stopped doing all three.

Some time ago I realized "I'm not smart."  It's okay.  I can now admit it.  All of the "THINGS" that have happened to me during the last five years especially, are due to choices I have made.  Today I draw THE line - I am back in the game of communicating with my friend, Jesus, reading God's word DAILY, and giving God his "tenth" back.  I have made this choice.  And, I will follow as closely as I can.  

I can hardly wait to experience the new adventures.

Doctors-Love or Hate?

On one hand, I go to Doctors to find out what is wrong with me mostly "Physically."  Do I always want to hear what they have to say?  Not really, but I DO listen.  I've been to a heart specialist, lung specialist, Orthopedic, and testing in all areas.  I'm beginning to believe I am an overweight, aging, hypochondriac.  


I've come to this conclusion after all the Dr's, testing, and medicines.  Getting older, in my case, just isn't being much fun right now. I'm just trying to feel better and remember a few facts so I can get home when I'm out shopping. I don't think this is too much to ask.


Went to Mayo yesterday to get the shot for my back. I'm supposed to rest today, so I'm doing very little, which is not unusual.  I am in absolutely no pain. It is awesome, but Ween is not feeling well, and is running a fever.  I'm not sure what is going on, but she threw up yesterday and has barely moved today. She even refused her favorite, brown rice and chicken. In fact, I brought it into the bedroom for her, and she almost "nosed" it off the bed and then gaged at the smell.  (Been there; Done that)  If she is not better, I may call her vet and try to get her in later today.  


And, if that doesn't work, there's MAYO.
