James 1:20

The picture tonight is one I took of Grace and Don last week in Branson. I chose this picture because they are two of the sweetest people in the world.

Poor Don has been so patient with me. I've let the pain get to me a lot this week, especially. He is good as gold and never growls or preaches to me. I was planning to play cards here tomorrow night, but I've been in such a foul mood I called everyone to call it off because I can't trust me to be nice. Besides, I just don't feel like it. Everyone was so sweet and understanding. My dear friend, reminded me that James 1:20 says, "For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." So, do I need to straighten up or what? I've been counting my blessings and giving thanks, but then I'll slam a door or cabinet! I am ashamed of my behavior and I am working on it. Joan set me so straight and God will help me get my focus where it should be.

This morning I did see the chiropractor for the 3rd time this week. He showed us my X-rays and the news is good. There is no indication of any tumor or any indication of weakening of the bones. Those were possibilities that kept looming at me since breast cancer likes to go to the bones and I'm taking Arimidex, which tends to weaken the bones. However, the bottom disc in my back is totally degenerated. It's likely because I have a congenital deformity right there. Usually when one disc is bad 3 or 4 will be bad, but all the others are good. Anyway, my hip is complaining because that bone on bone area at the bottom of my back is not allowing fluids to pass through like it should and it causes pain in my hip. The hip, itself, is in great shape. Knowing all that, I'm free to use the power plate, the jiggler and the inversion table and they will all help me to get back into motion. Motion is what I need and I have all that equipment! As soon as I can walk without too much pain, I can walk, again. This is all good news and I do give thanks for it. I asked God to give me another chance at life, and I know that He wants me to give Him glory, not shame. I hope to smile for the camera, soon. Thanks for caring and hanging with me!
