Sickness Finally Caught Me

Well, after dodging sickness for many months it finally caught me. I started feeling light headed late Sunday night. Then, Monday came and I was really feeling bad. Then, Tuesday came and I felt even worse. I wasn’t able to get a local doctor’s appointment before today. So, I just let my wife be my nurse and took whatever she gave me.

I just assumed my nerves were flared up due to preaching two Sunday services. I was relieved to discover that my nerve pain remains under control. Unfortunately, anytime a sickness gets into my body it makes my entire body vibrate. When you live just one degree away from boiling one degree really matters.

Earlier I finally got to see a doctor. It was clearly confirmed that somebody blessed me with Covid. I’ve already been taking medications that have helped with the symptoms the past few days. But, today I’ve started the medication that should knock this out much quicker. So, I won’t be out and about until this weekend.

I hate it because my youngest son turns 14 this Friday and we had plans together. Fortunately, I’ve still got others day to enjoy with him. In spite of my sickness, God has been flooding me with great clarity daily. After, over 15 hours of preparation I’m so excited about the message God has given me for Refuge Church this Sunday. Sometimes, you’ve just got to look at all the positive stuff in the midst of the rough.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8
