THOUGHTS AND REFLECTIONS
It's Friday already. A lot of my work teammates have begun their weekend already. Most of them have already left the office. I wonder what each of them has planned for the weekend?
I hope my weekend isn't so hectic. We begin a new format for our Sunday school this Sunday. A lot of work has gone into making it happen successfully and smoothly. Of course there will always be those details that get snarled. I had a wise man one time tell me, "The details will hang you every time!" It seems like we can cover the "biggies" but those little details, if unattended, can derail the best of plans. I hope things go smoothly Sunday morning.
The Oncologist found the results of Karon's CAT scan. He called yesterday and said she needs more tests! There are a couple of internal organs that don't look right. The suspicion is that the cancer has spread to these internal organs. But we won't know until we get the results from more tests. We're sure keeping the medical profession in business! Our prayers are that the additional tests will show no cause for alarm. But it's better to find out sooner than later if something is amiss.
We made our first-ever purchase over the QVC shopping network last week: a camera and card. We already have a good camera but, much like our DVD/VCR player, it seems too complicated for easy use. This new camera may be as complicated as the old one, but with one difference. Instead of having to sit down with thick book which is written so only an engineer could understand it to figure out how to use the camera, a really good friend sat beside me last night and taught me the uses of the camera. That has made all the difference in the world. Now I can read the book (maybe) and it will make sense. In the meantime, I can take pictures, put them on my PC and email them to whomever I wish whenever I wish. Look out all you people--you could be getting a myriad of pictures from me via email! And we know someone to whom we can give our other camera who will be able to use and enjoy it.
There are few things in life more valuable than our friends. By this standard, Karon and I are much wealthier than Bill Gates! One of those really special people, a good friend, came to our house last night and brought us a meal for which we had been longing--Pizza Hut Pizza! Was it ever good! We had a great time of fellowship and sharing. He's the one who gave me my camera lesson. Thank you, _____. You blessed us so much last night. Today has been better because of last night's blessing. The most valuable thing anyone can give another person is the gift of some of their time.
I'm hoping for some rest this weekend. But that probably won't happen.
