Wild Thoughts!

Today is a crazy day with lots of doctor appointments for Popa. It is also my birthday, I am not getting older just wiser. Ha! An old friend called, I have not talked to her since 1985. She remembered it was my birthday and decided it was time to reconnect. She wanted to thank me for being someone she could look up to when she was part of our college group. The good news is...she lives less than 25 miles from my home and we will be visiting sometime in April. She has to wait until April because today Popa and I booked our tickets for a return visit to Sri Lanka. I cannot think of a better birthday gift then to have finalized our thirty day visit with our Sri Lankan family. Tonight dear friends are making me a birhtday dinner, even delivering it to the house and sharing the meal with our local family. Popa spoke at Pastor Oscar's church last night and then came home and wept most of the night at the goodness of God. He said "I cannot believe how good it is to preach the word of God". I know I'm prejudice, but it was awesome and received so warmly by all those in attendance. We drove home really late last night so Popa could make it to the surgery center by 7:30 a.m. today and get a couple of epidural injectin before the upcoming trip. We visited the primary care doctor after that and Popa will go in this afternoon for a cranial fascia release massage. It has been a really full day already. I have been contemplating Baritmaeus in Luke 18 and how important it was for him to know what to ask Christ for, it seems quite obvious to us that a blind man needs his sight, but it was much more important for the blind man to recognize his own need of sight. How many of us are spiritual blind and do not even realize it? Dear Heavenly Father, help me to know what I need from you....give me insight into the right answer when you ask a question. Thanks for listening you faithful bloggers. The good news is that I will be taking my laptop to Sri Lanka and blogging faithfully about our adventures in faith. Blessing from the wiser Nona! Oh, I must be getting older, I do ramble on and on....
