All Over the Place Type Thoughts

***** Update*****
My mom will have a partial colonoscopy at 1:00. Seems to me a colonoscopy is an all or nothing type of deal. Anyway, the Dr is going to go in and see what he can find. Hopefully, he will find the place that is causing all the trouble. For once my dad seemed to think there is light at the end of the tunnel...no pun intended.




I am waiting for my dad to call, because I haven't a clue where to find them this morning at MD Anderson. He took my mom back there late yesterday. Her bleeding returned over the weekend. I realized this morning Roy and I are smack dab in the middle of Bible stories. His mother is like the man at the pool, she needs to take up her mat and walk and my mom is the woman with an issue of blood. Believe me, we are asking the Lord for His touch and healing in both situations.


Roy spent the weekend in Shreveport. His mother needs to be moved into a rehab facility by the end of the week. He and his brother Mike spent most of Saturday looking at the choices. Roy's mom is resisting the exercise, so that results in her not walking, which is crucial to her recovery. He returned on Sunday tired. There isn't any time while there for down time and he returns to Houston facing deadlines and projects at the office. I made dinner last night and he didn't even get home until 9:00. He is happily taking dinner for his lunch today and asking me not to be discouraged and be encouraged to continue fixing dinner. Sunday night, after his XEE class, we went to Collina's. At the table next to us sat Cardinal DiNardo and a couple. The Cardinal was not wearing his white collar. Nancy Taylor wrote on her Facebook status that she saw a cardinal on her windowsill so spring is not far away and I wonder if seeing a Cardinal in Collina's means six more weeks of winter? Also, since the Lent season is nearly upon us and in the spirit of Lenten Holy Cards, does a Cardinal beat a Pastor? We saw Pastor Gregg in Collina's a couple of months ago.


Sunday was the last page of the bookstore, but not to worry the series will continue with the multi purpose use of the library and the new "resource" bookstore that will occupy part of the space. There hasn't been much of a public outcry for the loss of the Garden Bookstore, but there has been plenty of private mumblings among the church members. In this case most know public outcry isn't going to do any good, because the decision has been made. I love how God is prompting the church to give and that my friends is truly the way to wage warfare against our enemy, give and love. Two very powerful weapons in the Kingdom of God. I love this quote; "A life of gratitude makes us WHOLE, overwhelms us with LOVE, and moves us to live GENEROUS lives." Erwin McManus


My dad called and they are waiting on the Dr to come talk with them. They will probably do another colonoscopy on my mom to find the source of the bleeding. My mom is in good spirits. She is in one of the ER rooms again. My cousin Becky called right before my dad. She and her husband John are on their way to Florida for a much needed vacation and had a layover in Houston. It was great getting caught up with her.


Guess I will continue on doing stuff around here until I get a call letting me know I am needed elsewhere. I am thinking and reading about storms, Mary and Martha, and Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Yep, my mind is in the whirlwind thinking again. Think my pills have lost their effectiveness... well, that's not totally true. I am more focused but the whirl has come back in my thinking. That means it also comes out in spoken or written form. In the words of George Costanza, Baby, I'm back! Which is totally different from baby's got back or baby back ribs.
