"Of course God does not consider you hopeless. If He did He would not be moving you to seek Him (and He obviously is). What is going on in you at present is simply the beginning of the treatment. Continue seeking with cheerful seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him." ~ C. S. Lewis


Hello and welcome to early morning time here at the ole blogger ranch. I've been up since around 3:30 a.m. due to a nagging toothache like pain in my lower back and hips. Of course, when I got up, Mr. Bentley felt obligated to get up too just to keep me company. It is Friday, January 15, 2021, and, I will tell you it seems like I've literally lost five or six days out of my schedule. Maybe I've been too laid up like a bunch of dogs, therefore, I am going to try and be more active today. I took Mr. Bentley out earlier. It was around 45 degrees and we had a nice walk up and down the property. I am not one of these mind over matter people but there is some truth to doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I also want to put a huge disclaimer up. I have dealt with some painful side effects, but, let the record show it has been nothing like those dealing with the same ailment who require ICU treatment. I share my experiences mostly because that is what I do here. My prayers go out to those who are on ventilators with every day being touch and go. Part of my issue is how I don't know what is going on inside my high mileage body. It's not like anything I've dealt with before and since I've been more than blessed with good health, it's just been hard to make sense out of it. The chills and fever have tended to hang around, but, today we are going to try the age-old approach of walking it off. In a manner of speaking. That is, consistent with what those helping me will allow me to do. I just feel like I have to change the layout of my day if I am going to get back to anything close to being like it was before all of this began last weekend. 

I do hope you have yourself a wonderful Saturday and Lord's Day Sunday. See you soon, Lord willing. Amen. .....More later.
