Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Beat!, beat! beat!

 It was ten years ago and my wife was having trouble with a heart murmur.  The doctors ordered a pacemaker which was installed without any problem.  It solved the problem.   And all we had to monitor all these years we monitored it electronically.  That meant using a device to record her heart activity.  Then it would search for a cell tower and transmit the results to the hospital for interpretation.  And that was the normal routine.  Rather amazing!

This time we received a call to make an appointment to have her battery replaced.  We wanted to wait until June to have this done.  That was upsetting since we plan to move then but they couldn't do it sooner.  So we figured we'd wait and the Lord would work it out.   And he did!  Two days later they called and scheduled her for February. 18.  Again, amazing.  But not when God is in charge.

So on February 18, my son took her in at 6:00 am.  And by 11 she was done with a brand new pacer..  PTL it went fine and hopefully this will outlast the first one.  Another God thing!
