just a scare

on sunday we had a bit of a scare. I guess it started on saturday when larry a came in to town and helped jimmy all day cut pyramids for his history project. all the work left his back hurting and very tired. so on sunday, i guess he was very sore and took a pain pill to get moving and get to church, which left him with no appitite and no desire to eat breakfast.


so during the service toward the end of pastors message, larry was not feeling well and stood up to leave the sanctuary, but instead of standing up and walking out, he stood up and fell! he actually blacked out and hit his head on the pew! ouch. praise the Lord for all the loving and supportive people in our church. Immediaetly pastor called everyone to pray for larry and people began gathering in groups and praying for the Lords guidence and will to be done.


a few of the decons helped larry into the washroom and others called 911. within minutes they arrived and larry ended up going to the hospital.


it turns out he had his medicine changed a few days before and his bp usually runs low. that, combined without eating food caused him to black out. after hours of tests at the hospital, he is ok, he was stable and kept for observation overnight. so thank the Lord that larry is ok. he and mom took off today for AZ. hopefully it will be an 'uneventful' trip.




here is a pic of the pyramids: don't they look great?

heaven's gate

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting prett y on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake
"And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue."
"Hush, child," He said, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
JUDGE NOT.

the condition of a heart. it's such a loaded statement. we talk of the 'condition of our hearts' in so many ways. our heart as a muscle. our heart as our source of emotion. our heart as our guide. what is the condition of my heart, i wonder? i don't think i have taken the time to get to know my heart. i need to. the bible says the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it? i want to give my heart to god, to help me know it, to guide me through the life he wants it to live. to feel to grow. to give my heartach to him when its to much for me to hold on to. i want a healthy heart, free of judgement. so i will give and try to be patient when i let go.
