I almost named this post I’m Tired, then I remembered a few posts back I have one of the same title. I’ve been home recovering from a short hospital stay for a TURP procedure to help me with my old man problem. Peeing blood everyday has almost worn me out. Today is the first day I’ve been clear. My second post-surgical follow-up is tomorrow. From my research the total recovery time can be up to two months.

So far this summer I’ve had my post-cataract lenses laser polished and then this. I’m doing okay with keeping my glucose level stable, but it has trended up about ten points. My blood pressure is pretty much normal. For seventy-three years old, I am doing okay. One thing at a time. My next project is to take care of my plantar fasciitis. My right foot is really painful.

We got a new baby in the house. We already had Beau and Luke. One is a wire-haired Dachshund and the other is a slick Dachshund. We got Rose through Little Paws Adoption for Dachshunds. She was rescued from a puppy mill where she was constantly bred for about ten years. She was badly abused and cowers when approached. She came to us a few days before my surgery, so we are adjusting together. Beau has taken to her seemingly knowing she’s hurt in some way. Luke was not to kind to her at first but has become better with her. Luke is the slick coat one. Rose is on Fluoxetine or better known as Prozac.

We take our time with Rose and she is coming around. She meets us at the bedroom door in the morning when she hears us stirring. The boys sleep in the “big bed” with us, so they jump down and greet her.

I would have something to say about the goings on politically and what happened with the Olympics, but I just get so concerned. . . well, angry with Christians that have no depth in their walk. God has blessed me with knowledge from studying that I don’t take for granted. I had one of the most gifted mentors in the world. He totally rocked my theological thought processes when I first heard him and it made me angry. That anger spurred me to dig and dig deep to try to prove him wrong, but logical study in what God revealed to me proved I was wrong. He was not the only one teaching the depths of scripture that I came to understand. You can look him up. His name is Dr. Kelley H. Varner and one of his like minded teachers is Dr. Lynn Hiles. There are few men like them. There is another by the name of Dr. Stephen Everett.

My wife has been a quick study and is approaching my level many times quicker that I have. Mine has had to savor over time. Neither of us have a corner on the market so to speak. I’m blessed with the knowledge I’ve gained from many years of sitting under ministry to learn. More than thirty years worth.

Where I stand now lends me to crying over the Christians I see today that have frozen in place for one reason or another without desire to excel in the Word. We need a fresh move of God in the earth. I pray for this to happen. I need change. You need change. It’s how we grow. Our place in the heavenlies is already here. We need to act on it.
