Last week a gentleman stood in the rain to…

Today’s reading is Acts 24. I’m glad to be back posting again. :) And I guess today’s SOAP is just a reminder to be patient with myself on that front, too. Scripture: Acts 24:27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant favor to the Jews,…

My experience with laparoscopic surgery
That was my view last Wednesday as I was wheeled to pre-op before I spent 3 hours in surgery having 2 liters drained from a mystery cyst on my liver. I had my thank you note and tape and a box of doughnuts to share. And I had my brave face on. I’ll back up…

Today’s reading is Acts 9. Here is what stood out to me the most: Scripture: Acts 9: 1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples… Observation: Saul was not a nice man. He had people killed for following Jesus and preaching about Him. Application: God can use anyone for his…

Surgery Update
Thank you so much for your prayers about my appointment with the surgeon yesterday. I was reassured by him that the cyst is most likely benign and I am scheduled for surgery next week to get it out. (Yippeee!!) I’ll likely stay just one night in the hospital, but there is a possibility of two.…
