Another Beautiful Morning! It's been pretty cold out the last few days...highs only in the single didgetes and below. By Friday we may get up to 29 degrees. Winter is going to get old fast If it stays this cold...
Yesterday was my primary care Dr., appointment with Dr Tiffany Mariner.
If my swallowing continues to be a problem., I will need a swallow test. At times I choke on my food or drink and sometimes when I drink it gurggles going down.
I still have the sores on my face and neck. I continue taking the shingles medication util it's gone. If I still have the sores I go back to dermatology.
I have a mammogram and the Dr wants to check my ovaries, on Wednesday. I have a higher risk of getting cancer. They will continue to watch me for 5 years. I guess that is the magic number for DM patients.
I asked Dr Mariner if it is possible that I got the DM because of the hernia repair with cadaver skin and mesh. She said anything is possible. The reason I asked was because they say DM is brought on by cancer or trauma to the body. Wondering if the mess or cadaver skin could be rejected by my body?
I'm so happy for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study
No Work for God Is Unimportant
Read | Colossians 4:7-18
The final lines of Colossians seem to have little theological impact. Most of the names listed, except for Luke and Mark, are unfamiliar. We could easily skip these verses and jump to 1 Thessalonians. But Paul’s closing words to the Colossians carry the subtle message that no ministry is unimportant.
It isn’t hard to recognize Paul’s amazing contributions to the faith—much of the New Testament is made up of his divinely inspired letters. The people mentioned in his Colossian missive seem to pale in comparison, but the apostle considered all of them important enough to include. For instance, Tychicus, the first mentioned, played a big role—wherever he appears in Scripture, he is running errands for Paul (Acts 20:4, Eph. 6:21, 2 Tim. 4:12). Thanks to this man, the Colossian letter traveled over 800 miles to its destination, then moved from church to church to be read repeatedly and copied. Tychicus’s job was important in spreading the gospel; without his assistance to Paul, modern believers might not have this valuable letter.
We tend to judge types of service as important or unimportant, and too often pride prevents our approval of a particular ministry. We want a big, impressive job to prove to everyone how much we love the Lord. But God desires the exact opposite: He wants our love for Him to motivate us to do anything He asks, no matter how insignificant or unnoticeable it may seem.
What is God asking you to do that you are resisting? Repent of your pride, and humble yourself to do all that He desires. None of His work is unimportant.
Looking forwardto another great day!
