I want to share with you a miracle that happened to me.

I had severe pain on my right hip. I couldn’t walk. The pain pills weren’t working very well.

I went to a orthopedic doctor, and he said I needed surgery. I needed a hip replacement.

I had a preop appointment with him. The next time I saw him, I was going to be on the operating table.

My primary doctor, told the surgeon that he wanted me to see another doctor first.

That doctor was a pain management doctor. I met with him, and he said something that put me in shock. He wanted me to cut back on my pain pills!

I went home and decided that I was going to stop all pains pills to see what happens. The next morning I got up, and there was no pain in my hip!! That was three weeks ago, and I haven’t had any pain what’s so ever.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Was this a miracle or was the orthopedic doctor just wanting to make some money?

I decided it was a miracle! God had touched me and set me free of the pain. There is no other way to explain it. From severe pain to no pain. That is hard to explain, except a miracle.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Just to let you know…you may have physical battles, but your spiritual battles are even tougher.

Thoughts…

  1. Break the unbreakable.
  2. Move the unmovable.
  3. From the impossible, we will have a miracle.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Got My Shots for COVID, and Still Got it.

I got COVID for the second time. I have had all my shots. I recall my first vaccination. It was about two years ago. When I got to the site for the shot, there was a tremendous line. I stood in the line waiting my turn.

The a National Guard soldier came up to me and told me to follow him. He took me to a spot where I was next in line. I was honored to be chosen to do that.

Probably because I had on my Army hat, and was using a cane.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Funny how people forget their duties. There is a tremendous need for civilians to enlist into the military. There are shortages in all branches. We all need to serve our country in some form, and I can tell you that the military changed my life in a most positive way. Think about stepping up.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Never forget hat God is with you 24/7. He will protect you from harm. All you have to do is ask.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Many Things Cause Pain. We need to Reach out.

It seems that many of us suffer much from, an affliction, lost loved ones, or broken relationships.

All of these cause much pain in our lives.

______________________________________________

How we handle these are what define our character. We can say “poor me,” Or be an encouragement for others. I always say, it is better to have a smile than have a frown. It is much harder work to frown.

______________________________________________

Use that principle in your life. Don’t be a whiner, but be a friend that helps others.

______________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Got some bad news this morning. My beautiful wife has COVID. She is not well. Prayers would be appreciated.

________________________________________________

Been following the war in Ukraine Is Putin deranged? YES! He is fighting a losing war. He has been defeated in several areas of Ukraine, and yet he still is letting Russian men die.

He needs to disappear. Any way we make that happen would be fine.

The counteroffensive is going well. Time for Putin to grow up and negotiate.

_________________________________________________

I have come up with a new plan for my bad hip. My primary doctor referred me to a pain maintenance clinic. If they can somehow help me with the pain, I will pass on the surgery. I will keep you posted.

__________________________________________________

Have you been struggling with an affliction. I feel our pain. It is easy to ask WHY ME!! God has allowed your pain, and you are not sure if you like at all.

Cry out to God to give you peace and relieve the pain. He listens to you even when you are angry. I am using my affliction to reach out to others who are suffering.

Maybe you should try doing the same.

Going to the Oregon Coast today. I always enjoy going there my wife, even through it is for an appointment.

I will have to reflect while we are on our way. My wife is driving so I can day dream all I want

Lots to think about:

  1. Future surgery.
  2. Pain.
  3. My family.
  4. Where my country is going.
  5. Thankful to God for this day.

Thoughts:

A cry of despair over misfortune and suffering—something we all experience from time to time—is a valid form of prayer. We should never back away from pleading to God. He is there for us 24/7.

God can always be trusted. He never wavers, or decides you are not important.

Even in the worst of times, there was still hope to be found in God.

__________________________________________________________________________________

As we trot, crawl, climb, over the worries of life, we need to be Strong and persistence.

Never give up! God is there for you. Lean on Him.

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Do You Hate to Wait. Waiting for the Red light to change, Waiting in lines.

Are you like me in that you hate to wait? In the military I was told, “Hurry up and wait.” We hate waiting in lines. We hate waiting for the mail. We hate waiting for the red light to change.

_______________________________________________

What can we do to avoid waiting.

  1. Patience is always a good approach.
  2. Do not battle things you can not change.
  3. Pray for God’s protection.
  4. Help others who are struggling with waiting.

________________________________________________

I have been feeling pretty good the last few days. My wife put me on a new schedule for my meds, and it is working. Much less pain.

__________________________________________________

Have you ever wondered, “Why me?” I certainly have. I seem to have more than my share of afflictions. I thought about this, and here is want I think:

  1. You are better off than some, because they have much worse afflictions.
  2. Feeling sorry for yourself Doesn’t stop the pain.
  3. I complained about having to use a walker, until I saw a man confined to a wheel chair.
  4. God has a purpose for us even in our pain.

__________________________________________________

Stay away from the negative, and grab the positive. It makes you life much more livable. Thank God for each day you get. Like I said, He has a plan for you.

__________________________________________________

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

A Short Post About Love, Because Love Conquers Everything.

This post is about love. Love conquers all adversity.

Here are some thoughts on love from my Church service on Sunday:

  1. Lyrics from a song. “Your love is holding on and won’t let go.”
  2. The story about the good Samaritan: A man was attacked and beaten up badly on the road. The attackers left him for dead. A priest came by and saw the man. he went on the other side of the road and kept walking. A Levite came by and did the same thing. He kept going. Then a Samaritan came by and found pity for the man. He bandaged him up, and took him to an inn. He told the Inn keeper to take care of him and gave him money to do it. That is true love.
  3. When I am loving God with all my heart, I feel compassion for others.
  4. When I am loving God with all my heart, I care for the stranger, the outsider, even my enemy.
  5. Love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbors can be anyone, anywhere, any time.

I finally got to see an orthopedic doctor, for my painful hip. I wasn’t surprised by his diagnoses. He said I will need hip surgery in the next three months. My thinking was, “What are you doing today?” It takes months to schedule surgery. I will be getting a steroid shot to ease the pain, but again there are long lines waiting for their shots, so i’ll have yo wait until April 27th to get mine. That is eternity. I have been given pain pills, and they are helping a little, but not very much.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Are you facing serious problems with your health? Do you need some quick help? I’m there with you.

There is not much I can do to help you as a human, but God is there 24/7. Reach out to him and ask for healing. Be patient with Him. His timing is always perfect.

Never give in to the darkside. Seek the light and it will give you hope.

You are never unloved.

This old guy is really suffering with pain right now. That is why my posting is not consistent. I have arthritis in my right hip area, and the pain is increasing everyday.

I can hardly walk, and the pain is really bad when I try.

Going to see my doctor tomorrow morning to see what we can do.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had struggles with you health lately? Have your days been filled with pain? I certainly can relate to that!

What can we do to overcome the pain and agony?

This is not an easy question to answer. Of course going to a doctor would be an obvious choice, But what if they say it will take several weeks to do the procedure?

The pain will be knocking at your door and won’t leave.

____________________________________________________________________________________

My only advice to turn all your pain over to God. He knows what you are going through He Knows your pain. “Talk” to Him asking Him to relieve your pain. Lean on Him for comfort and peace.

Above all…never, ever, give up!

Just what the living water? It is Jesus who provides the living water. If you feel dehydrated go to Him and you will never thirst again.

  1. A gift from God.
  2. Living water.
  3. Never thirst again.
  4. A well.
  5. It gives us eternal life.

Do you feel like you are trying to live in world that is like a desert? Does your bucket of water have holes in it?

Jesus provides endless water for your thirst.

Current news…

  1. There was a mysterious cave found. A man lived in it for forty years.
  2. Two girls found in floating boat and their parents are missing.
  3. North Korea just announced that 1.4 million people enlisted to fight the U.S.
  4. Poland’s entry into the Ukraine conflict will mean the start of WWIII according to a Russian lawmaker.
  5. Alleged killer Bryan Kohberger only meant to kill one of the victims who he was obsessed with. According to new expert theory.

___________________________________________________________________________________

My thoughts…

  1. The man in the cave chose to be there. He wanted to leave city life.
  2. There is fear that the girl’s parents are not alive.
  3. North Korea may have 1.4 million people enlisted in the military, but there is just too many weaknesses in their system to fight any war.
  4. Poland had become a strong ally of ukraine, and will send them 20 fighter planes.
  5. Bryan Kohberger is a very sick man who should spend the rest of his live behind bars, or even executed.
