Just when things were starting to go well....the wound vac is back on again.  It seems I have a bit of an infection, so we're taking antibiotics again as well.  However, the good news is that what I thought was yellow pus coming out of an area on one of the suture lines is actually emulsified fat that's dying and needs a place to drain out (sorry for the graphic description).  So now the big question is:  HOW CAN I GET THE CELLULITE ON MY THIGHS TO DO THAT???

A very dear friend sent me an email this weekend with a link to a video and a church related magazine blog.  This friend is quite intelligent and well-read.  He recommended viewing and reading, so I did.  I won't get into the content, but suffice it to say, that by the time I finished the comments from several subjects on the magazine site, I felt like a complete simpleton.  I do not think complex, lofty thoughts like these people!  I could never spout off long quotes and references and various bible verses to prove my theological point in a nanosecond.  In fact, I felt quite stupid half the time, because I had no idea what their point actually was.

The realization I came to was this:  I am so thankful that God's grace extends to someone as incredibly simple as me.  It's OK for  people who are gifted thinkers and debaters to discuss deep theological issues such as "can you be a christian and not be tied to a particular denomination?"  But as for me, especially when my brain and memory have been so affected by the chemo, I am blessed to know that Christ came  and died to save me.  He loves me.  God LOVES me.  My response to the measure of love and mercy I've been blessed with can be nothing less than wholehearted everyday devotion to what He tells me to do.  And He will.  Day by day, moment by moment, if I choose to listen.  My God is faithful and true.  John 3:16.  It's very simple for a simple girl.
