A Full Day

Something very special happened today. For the first time since I got sick, I was able to put in a full day at my Book of Hope office. It may seem strange, but I really loved being back at work. There were ministry decisions to be made, planning for new implementations of The GodMan that had to be reviewed, and even activities in preparation for 2008 that have already started. Maybe not the most exciting work in our ministry, but very much necessary work. And just what I needed after three weeks of being either in the hospital or confined to the house. All in all, it was a very good day.

Tomorrow is another special day. I will be visiting with the kidney specialist to determine what to do about the tumor on my right kidney. Have you ever noticed that once you know there might be a problem, every little pain you suffer seems to originate from that spot. That was the situation this afternoon. As the workday drew to a close, my middle and lower back started to ache. Most likely just the stress of being in an office chair all day. However, I must admit that my mind went directly to thoughts of the kidney every time the least little pain ran through my back.

Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow (Thursday) morning. The appointment is at 10:00.
