I hope you do not get tired of seeing "my verse" Philippians 1:20 but here it is again: Yesterday's Post … Continue reading So Thankful, God Is In My Story!

Praise Him!

https://youtu.be/dQdfs5S6jyA?si=XI8rhUkojTVg048B Today's post will be a little personal. What a journey the past year has been. Just a little over a year ago I was in Chicago, IL having my third brain surgery. (third scheduled surgery, there were others in there unscheduled) Any who, I ended up in Chicago for my third surgery. I was … Continue reading Praise Him!

The Rock

I think back to my times in the hospital. The times I've been there either before or after surgeries it wasn't a fear of death that got me down but a fear of a changed life. But as I would get down someone would come to encourage me. I usually didn't recognize the encouragement as … Continue reading The Rock

My Story: Conclusion

It has been a little over one year since this happened. I know some say my progress has either slowed or stopped but I feel that could not be further from the truth. Am I different from who I was before this happened? Yes I am. Is my knowledge, hobbies, passion and the ones I … Continue reading My Story: Conclusion

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 6)

Today is one year since my surgery. I have survived a year. I am different from who I was before my surgery.

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 5)

Like the knife that sits unused mostly in my toolbox I am waiting and ready for my next assignment. I know from my life history that the day is coming. Right now I do not know what it will be. When that assignment comes I pray I am ready. While I wait on that I … Continue reading My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 5)

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 4)

I have mentioned several times here my faith. It has been key in my life and recovery. Going back to the story of Lazarus. It says "Jesus wept". I heard it talked about the other day that as Jesus healed and brought Lazarus back to life he wept first. He wept because of the loss … Continue reading My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 4)

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 4)

I do not rest well at all. On vacation it normally takes me three of four days just to disconnect. The best time that I have ever disconnected from work was while I was in the hospital. While I was in the hospital I was 1.) unaware during much of the time. I do not … Continue reading My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 4)

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 3)

As I mentioned before, one of the books I recently read was "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Again I could not recommend it more if you've not read it. I am trying to work on developing habits for myself. I do have goals but habits are something I want to add to my list. I … Continue reading My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 3)

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 2)

In my recovery being an outdoorsman has been the thing I have missed the most. This was the first time in my life that I have not gone deer hunting once in a season. My friend Blake took me on my first fishing trip since all this started. In true Blake fashion he caught more … Continue reading My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 2)
