Some Miscellaneous Thoughts

I am very grateful to God for the swift recovery of Linda. The knee replacement surgery went very well. I was gearing up to a wrenching time of watching her suffer and telling her to get back on the "torture" machine. It wasn't like that at all. Of course she had quite a bit of pain, but she is amazing on her recovery. Why this quick recovery? Part of it is Linda herself. She is a strong person. She has a strong will and is willing to push herself. I suppose that a lot of credit should go to her doctor. He obviously did a great job on the surgery. But, as a believer, I think the fact that Linda and I had "bathed" the surgery and recovery in prayer -- together with a lot of people from all over praying is what really did the trick. Thank you God!

We needed some equipment for the recovery. We decided to rent a wheel chair to get her home from the hospital. I intended to buy a walker. While renting the wheel chair, one of my long time members from First Baptist Chula Vista came in. She said, "You aren't going to buy a walker are you?" "Yes, we need one." " I have two that I will loan to you. One is a regular walker and one is the deluxe model with a seat and wheels." Just like that, God saved us some money.
