First of all, the nuts and bolts:
Ed has an infusion later today, but we know that his platelets are low, and his "numbers" are not normal.
His allergies are officially changed to reveal the reaction that the Erwinia gives him: High Ammonia.
Will this eliminate Erwinia completely? That seems to be THE question. There is still a voice among the oncologists that wants to keep trying it.
I have my reservations. Maybe the LORD is saving Ed from this type of chemotherapy altogether. The indications are that he reacts much more quickly with each consecutive dosage. I'm skeptical about using it again, but I am just the mom, and even moms do not have the final say...
We had a weekend of pipe organ bliss. Ed played the organs at two churches in St. Paul, thanks to the Twin Cities Chapter of the American Guild of Organists Pipe Organ Discovery Day on Saturday. Then we heard a recital yesterday that included some of his all-time favorites---a Mendelssohn suite, and several Bach pieces, including a Bach re-write of a Vivaldi concerto. It was heavenly.
I just love being there with him.
Now for the lightness I speak of of.
I happened to be at a ELCA (Lutheran) church where a flyer announced an upcoming lecture on PROPHECY and the APOCALYPSE!
I just about fell off my chair!
As you know, we are not members of any church but the family of God---which is THE Church, but I do like to learn about denominations of various kinds. We attend "Grace Community Fellowship" weekly, at the Coon Rapids City Hall, where the preacher is an expository Bible teacher.
I've had exposure to just about everything out there that is considered orthodox, and some that are maybe not so much in line with orthodoxy.
For an ELCA to sponsor a talk about prophecy is really exciting.
Prophecy is ignored in most mainline denominations, and it is to their detriment.
Perhaps we are seeing an awakening? A lightening? Perhaps there is a stirring before the end?
"National Geographic" arrived in our mailbox the other day. Did you see the cover?
"The War on Science."
When you look at the cover piece you realize one thing---Truth is winning!
That the NG must address the issues listed on the cover and acknowledge them as a "threat" means that some Truth is making headway.
They link some legitimate concerns with some far-out fallacy ideas, but that they even felt the need to address evolution, GMO's, climate change, and vaccinations is proof that "The Establishment" is feeling threatened, and that TRUTH is WINNING!
It made my day.
If only everyone would dig deeper. If only we all would see the Cosmic Plan of the Creator as it plays out.
Very exciting.
As we all read the headlines, and watch tiny little Israel take center stage in the world, we can only nod in agreement with God Himself.
God's Word is true, and all of His prophecies come to fruition.
If you aren't in line with Biblical faith you will be confronted with it sooner or later.
Watch out that your heart isn't completely hardened to accepting God's way.
I met someone recently who simply refused to see God as He has described Himself in the Bible. She mentioned his jealousy, his justice, and she called Him "spiteful."
The Bible doesn't describe God as spiteful, but it does say He is jealous, that He is just. That He is love.
He hardens hearts, He causes hard things---like wars, death, and judgment.
Yes, that is Who He is.
To shake our fists at Him for not being the Being we have thought up in our own minds seems silly, but we must admit that it is easy to come up with our own version of "god." That IS idolatry though.
Be careful. To go against GOD is to be condemned.
To love Him, to believe, to have faith in Him, is to become His beloved child, and to experience life at its fullest.
And remember, there is an IMPOSTER out there. He manifests as Thor, as Baal, as Lucifer, as Shiva, as Allah, as the Plumed Serpent, as the Kundalini. He pulls the wool over the eyes of atheists and humanists. He masks as light. He is the Light Bearer.
He speaks sweetly and softly into your mind that he is god. He hates the one true God, and it is his ultimate wish to kill and condemn.
Open your eyes to the truth of the Bible!
The hour is late, and the wrath of God is about to fall on a world gone hay-wire.
Oh YES! My son Joe got the offer!!! He starts as a Washington State Patrol Trooper on March 13!
Wow. Just wow!
We are so thankful and excited for him! This mom asks for your prayers when you think of him, doing things that seem dangerous sometimes in this changing world.
But someone's got to do it. Actually, with his happy disposition and tendency to make everyone laugh it might be a pleasure to be stopped by him for a traffic violation. Really.
Pray for his safety and for his continued training. Thank you!
