I have several comments in the queue for the previous post. I haven\u2019t gotten around to digesting them or dealing with them because of a little medical emergency. I won\u2019t go into gory details (it was gory) but I ended up in the hospital for the weekend after experiencing my first ambulance ride.<\/p>\n

The docs were great, I am now fine, under strict orders to hopefully prevent a reoccurrence.<\/p>\n

I do appreciate each of you (about 5) who have comments in the queue that I need to deal with. I hope you will be patient as I will get to them in due time.<\/p>\n

A few observations from the experience:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a wild weekend, but certainly shows how dependent we are. You can go from walking around, seemingly as fit as a fiddle and within hours be flat on your back, totally helpless and dependent on others. And that is where we need to always be, spiritually.<\/p>\n

We were in Ps 91 last Wednesday night at church. I haven’t put the audio up on our site yet, but the psalm ministered to me while I was lying in the hospital. It is one that starts with the psalmists testimony of trust in the Lord (note the "I" in v. 2), then goes to the psalmists ‘sermon to the reader’ (note the "you" or "thou" in vv. 3-13) and then goes to God’s promise to the man who trusts him (note the "I" in vv. 14 to end).<\/p>\n

The promise is given by God to the believer for three reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Because he (the believer) has set his love on me (14)<\/li>\n
  2. Because he (the believer) has known my name (14)<\/li>\n
  3. Because he (the believer) has called on me (15) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Believe me, we were ‘calling’ Friday night!<\/p>\n

    I will deal with the responses to my last post soon, but I am in \u2018take it easy\u2019 mode just now.<\/p>\n
