And Then It Was Different

When I woke up this morning I had no thought that today was all that different from other days, but it really is, and here's why:

Ed went to the clinic. It turned out to be his last Pre-Maintenance treatment. He got two shots of Erwinia, and his ammonia levels were manageable. There will be no more Erwinia scheduled.

He goes back to the clinic next week to begin "Maintenance," the three-year-long treatment phase that includes periodical spinal taps and daily oral chemotherapy. Infusions in the clinic will happen every two weeks to monthly.

All in all it will be a lighter schedule.

So what will we do with ourselves?

I kind of feel that life is restarting---as of today. And for the clan at Corgi Hollows life is getting very interesting. Today the last inspections were done on the house we bought last week.

The bee house, next door to my parents, the house my uncle built 60 years ago, the new Corgi Hollows, is to become ours in May.

And life just changed like that!

It's also the beginning of the Third Watch today. In prophecy circles there has been talk of blood moons and solar eclipses. There is a set of four lunar eclipses happening in 2014-2015, and these happen every six months on Jewish feast days. We are entering the third period between the eclipses, and some have called it the "Third Watch," the darkest time of the night.

Do I know what that entails? No, but I can imagine, and so can you, if you think about it at all.

The darkest hour before the dawn.

Our Creator, the One who made everything, and who is beyond our little comprehension, has set patterns in the galaxies for us to watch and know. Are the "blood moons" astronomical events, or literally blood on the moon? My Creator can do anything, so I wouldn't be surprised at either, but I have the logical, reasonable side telling me it is what we are witnessing in the night sky at this point in time. Blood moons are predicted for the end in Scripture, therefore we watch for "blood moons."

If your spiritual eyes are open, you see things differently.

So begins this next phase for me, for us at Corgi Hollows. How long do we have before the Messiah comes? It looks like things are getting closer to His appearance. I wonder if the devil is guessing/watching the signs even as we do...

Probably, and he has supernatural knowledge---beyond what we can figure for now.

For Ed, the signs say that his life will get to a new normal with cancer. For all of us, a new normal of daily patterns and views. For the world?

Let's watch and see.
