Still FROGgin'

This pewter dress pin is Chuck's anniversary gift to me. Another reminder to Fully Rely On God! We are blessed, aren't we, to follow One Who is fully reliable and Whose purposes are always perfect.

Eugene Peterson warns against making God into a mere idol--someone we use to get things done that we want. It's His kingdom that we seek, His will we pursue, His glory we desire. But it's easy to focus on my kingdom, my will, my glory--and use prayer as a genie with which to get my wishes granted. I visited a Hindu temple once, and I can't forget the sights: men rubbing honey and milk on the belly of grotesque images, chanting prayers, hoping to appease the "god" and secure his favor.

I'm tired today as a result of yesterday's kemo. I was somewhat nauseous during the treatment and also last evening, but that's better this morning. I'm sure I'll sleep today, but I also intend to listen to music and do some good reading. Somehow the fax with my CA 125 report never got into the doctor's hands, so he hadn't had an opportunity to figure out the discrepancy in the numbers and is as confused as we are. He said he'd call the lab and ask about it. He is really delighted by how well I feel (most of the time) and by my consistently positive regular blood work. That is surely a gift from God.

You are dear to continue to stand with us in caring and praying.

Love,
Carol
