It Been A Long Time

Well, friends have asked and my mother has to so I am writing on the blog again. It has been over two months and a lot has happened. The holidays have come and gone as holidays do. The best part is just being here. Work continues with some days of good and some not so good. It is always hard to start a new year both at work and at home. Right now my world has been turned upside down with Patti working at the office as well as Heather (up to yesterday) and Patti's mom first in the hospital and now in a nursing facility. Sometimes I get to feeling sorry for myself because of all the change, but then I have to remind myself that I am here to see the change. Then I realize that all of the change just doesn't matter. It' just being here with my wife, my kids and my grand kids and friends. You too mom.

Last Thursday Patti was talking to the doctor and he said I was his "miracle patient." Too bad he doesn't understand the miracle. It is all you who prayed to God for his help for me and God answering the prayers.

I have not been such a good prayer warrior though for those sick and hurting. Sometimes it is hard to think of others when it draws me back to thinking about what I went thru. Then I think I need to be there for them telling them all the things I have done to help myself and thinking that they all should listen to me. After all, it helped me. Well, I have to keep remembering that many hear the words to come to the Lord and don't follow. Why would or should they follow my words. Patti says to just plant the seed both about the Lord and a different way of taking your health into your hands. I guess it is the hardest part of trying to know why God saved me and what was the purpose that he has in mind. I can't see sometime why people don't listen, but then again, I am not God.

I will write more as the days go along I promise.
