Let’s Try This Again

So barring anything terrible happening in the next few hours I should be on my way back to Florida. I got my flight changed for free because of all the mess caused from Hurricane Charley. I’m still not sure who’s picking me up at the airport though. Kyle told me he’d find someone and that he’d let me know while I’m in Atlanta. I just don’t like stuff like this to be left to the last second.

My arm still hurts, but it’s better. I still can’t move it too much, but I guess that’s to be expected. As for my brain, well no one knows why I have seizures to begin with, so I really couldn’t tell you. I’m back on my meds, so I guess I’m good to go.

Pastor Tom gave a sermon on healing today that was really good. It was very timely, if nothing else. He talked about how healing by the power of the Spirit is something that most Christians believe in (in the sense that it has happened before) but that most Christians today are skeptical as to whether it exists today. Tom made a really good point - all healing is from God. Some of that may be from the gifts He’s given doctors, but it’s still all from God. He brought up how the ancients didn’t differentiate between physical and spiritual healing. I tend to think that they had the right idea by keeping healing all under one umbrella term. Anyway, I know it doesn’t sound too impressive as I describe it but it was certainly something that I needed to hear.

I got to tell everyone in the congregation about my predicament. Not all at once; that would have been too easy. After church I must have talked to almost everyone about what I had been through. I guess I don’t mind, since most of them will be praying for me.

I spent the rest of the day packing and taking it easy. A pretty slow day all in all. Watch Team USA get slaughtered by Puerto Rico in the Olympics, but that’s about it. My next post should be from good old Tallahassee. If something stops me from getting there this time I might just take the semester off.
