Today and for the most part, I gotta say the lions are winning!!! The weather came in like a lion so to my way of thinking I thought that by now the gentle lambs would be taking over the weather fronts. However, from my window it looks like a regular ole winter storm blowing outside. The winter snow is still hanging around and now the darkness of that snow is being covered by the whiteness of fresh falling snow and sleet. I write about the weather in order to have a basis to complain, mostly about the long never ending winter. I know, I know all of us are dealing with that no matter where we live across this northern world.
Wow, what a world we have too. The Olympics was great entertainment, after the media leaves--most of them anyway, Russia decided to take back territory. I read historical romance (not that this is romantic) but sheesh seems like a leader of another era did the same thing annexing back the Sudetenland in order to protect German interests. The books I read, altho being fiction describe vividly what happens in aggression.
May the Lord keep us from another major war.
I am sure most of you have read about the premier of AB. Politics is becoming such a sad state of affairs. Well,I won't go any further. Cousin David covers that pretty well. Hey David, more Canadian content!!!
Right now Bob is at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre having a PET scan. Simply, Bob is injected with radioactive sugar and then the doctors monitor the circulation of this injection through the body. Active cells---cancer cells--quickly move to the sugar. In this way the doctors can tell where there are tumors growing. I think that loosely resembles the truth of the test. This was originally planned for an MRI but when the appointment came the type of test had been changed. We try not to race ahead of the results but sometimes you can't help it.
This all makes me uptight and I want to complain about everything. Life is hard and then you die. I know all the right things, don't worry, but living through this daily gets to be tough. Watching Barbie and Tim is hard, walking now with 3 fellow teachers from our school deal with cancer is hard. The latest only 23 years old. Visiting these dear old people when I volunteer at the hospital is hard. Listening to heartbreaking stories of what is happening in the lives of our friends is hard. One gal told me: for believers in Jesus this life is hell but for those who don't or won't accept Jesus as their personal savior this life is heaven. Gotta say I am so thankful for the Hope we have in God.
Thanks for listening to me rant.
