comments and two years ago

Comments to this blog. I believe that I have found the settings that will allow you to comment on the blog again. If I have done this correctly, all comments posted by you will not appear until approved by yours truly. If this works correctly, this should reintroduce the joy of dialogue to the blog. If a few of you would post comments today, we will see how it works. If there is a problem, I will keep working on it. Thank you for caring and thank you for reading. Blessings to you on this fine day.

Two years ago I had pneumonia, or so they told me. I had been sick for about six months. I thought it was a cold. I finally went to the doctor in July. Sinus infection. A month later when that didn't clear up they told me I had pneumonia. This week is the two year anniversary of a very scary time for me.

Over the next two weeks I am going to look back on that time and tell you about those days. The things I thought, felt and learned. It was a very frightening, poignant time. I was on point. My life was on edge. God had my full attention.

To face your own mortality is a sobering thing indeed.

I have always tried to appreciate the goodness of God and the gifts of life. A serious health scare will bring your appreciation to life in ways I had not thought of.

This is a pretty personal story, a very private journey, but I invite you to join me over the next few weeks.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff, those who knew remember it well. We were fearful as well and remember the recurrence, 2. God wants us to be transparent with others in our struggles. It helps new Christians with their own. Thanks you for doing this.
