"What day is this?" I can't even count the times that I have asked Diane this question these past days. Over the course of my journey I have asked this question of Diane more times than I can remember, but these past days have really been more of a blur than I have experienced. I entered a blog post about our visit last week. But then after staying home for a few days, last Thursday we returned to Wayne Memorial. What I do remember very clearly is that on Thursday morning I began to have pain like I have never experienced in my entire life. On that famous scale "how would you rate your pain on a scale from one to ten, ten being the worst," my answer was a twenty. After being admitted, it took several days to manage the pain. Finally, late Sunday evening we all agreed that I could go home with meds and wait until we see the surgeon at Duke next Monday. So that is where we find ourselves now.
A lot has happened between then and now. It is all a part of the journey. I am on too many meds to actually get out of the house and motivate, but through the magic of technology, I am able to do some things from home. I am even trying to work on a sermon for next Sunday. I really do want to preach, but with a backup preacher (although he does not think that he is a preacher) like Gabe, I know that my flock is in good hands on Sunday mornings. I also know that the various teams that work on the many GC ministries are more than capable of doing God's work without me.
What day is this? This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it! So how about you? What day is this for you?
