Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
We made it back to Oklahoma last night around 7pm.  I slept part way and after returning from Texas went to bed early.  I was wore out...

I got up at 5:30am, took my morning meds and now I'm waiting for the medicine to kick in.  Laying in bed this morning, my right side was still very sore...
I feel wore out even after sleeping all night... :-(
I think it's probably best to split our travel between two days since I am the one driving.  So this evening we will start our trip back to Minnesota.

I am so thankful for all I can do...

Walking in the Word
By Charles Stanley
Read | Psalm 119:97-104

People make a lot of decisions on any given day. Most choices present themselves quickly, leaving little time to weigh pros and cons. So we “go with our gut.” But believers who desire to walk wisely through the perils of this world require something more reliable than flesh-based instinct. We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, which is why we must meditate on the Word.

I mention meditating on Scripture often in my writing and preaching—and for good reason. The Bible is the key to knowing God and following His will. Believers simply cannot neglect spending time poring over its words. If you want to be certain of the Lord’s perspective on an issue, you go to the source book to fill your mind with truth.

All of us have a sort of grid around our minds. It’s made up of the principles we were taught as children, the habits we’ve formed, and the information we accept as true. New knowledge coming our way passes through that grid and is either assimilated or rejected. Think about TV commercials—those persuasive ads full of beautiful people are designed to steal past your mind’s defenses. Well, the devil has the same goal of getting past your grid and gaining a mental and spiritual foothold.

Some of the darts that Satan aims at your mind seem harmless or even good—that’s why “going with your gut” is so dangerous. A mental grid layered with biblical truth is essential for Christians, because it identifies and rejects whatever is sinful, poorly timed, or simply not fit for God’s children.

Looking forward to another great day...
