Just a note to let you know that I was in the hospital again overnight from Saturday night till Sunday afternoon. I begin "paining" Saturday and spent the day trying to ferret out what kind of pain. Finally, about 7 pm I call the doctor and then went to emergency after which they admitted me for the night for observation.
Sunday I took a stress/echo and walked for 8 minutes. The doc thought it looked good even though it is only 80% accurate and released me. The back pain may just be back pain from slavishly hunkering over a computer the last week +, plus too many other weeks to remember.
Keep me in your prayers.
BTW: The ER nurse, Liana, a follower of Jesus, told me that Saturday night I was focused on a different ministry, the ministry to my own body. Funny how we forget that. We get caught up in ministering, thinking about ministering, talking about ministering to others and forget our own bodies.
So here's a thought: take some time off for yourself during the oft stressed filled days of the Christmas season as a ministry to you own body. It seems like somewhere in the story I remember that God gave himself a break and rested providing Israel a model for Sabbath Rest. May it be so in our lives.
