Well...here I am, still in CAMC Memorial in Charleston. Who-da thunk that feeling a bit rough back on Oct. 16 would have led to all this? This has been some adventure! The news from the doctors is getting better and (slowly) l am feeling better. But I am still so weak and weary. There's so much to think about: near-death Monday, damaged lungs which may never fully heal, an immune system left ragged. Will I have enough air to sing and act? When will I be ready to return to my pastoral duties? Will I soon have enough oxygen to preach a full sermon? Can my body be exposed to normal germs without wearing down?
Yet amidst all the questions, I am thankful to be alive. I am thankful for my family and their love. I am thankful for my amazing church family for caring so graciously for me & my family...how incredible the church has been. I am thankful for the medical staff which has fought alongside me. I am thankful for the power of prayer. I am thankful for God's healing grace!
The healing journey continues. For another day, I am so very thankful!
