Good Friday

So, as I opened my eyes this morning, I was reflecting on the things that I need to get done today. It’s going to be a busy day. Some of the things are just routine day-to-day issues, some of them are not. I have to admit that when I thought about all those things, I …

Skipping on Water

Today’s visit to radiology went well. They took X-rays to confirm the mapping done earlier with the CT scan and added tiny tattoos so the radiation is exactly where they want it. Tomorrow I begin with the first of 33 sessions. I had blood drawn earlier and had a wonderful time with the three techs. …

Walking on Water

This morning I was reading a post from a missionary friend of mine. She was talking about Peter walking on water. Jesus had come to the boat during a storm, and Peter climbed out of the boat and begin to walk on the water towards Jesus. He was doing fine as long as he kept …
